The first thing that caught my attention with this Sony VAIO was the liquid cooling. Now that has to be be a major score for the good guys, no?

The media-friendly Sony VAIO RC110G will certainly find a home in dens and TV rooms across the country, but we can think of a better place: libraries. Thanks to its liquid-cooling system, the RC110G barely made an audible hum, no matter what task we set it to. It might not offer a lot of expandability, but the RC110G delivers an impressive hardware and software lineup for $1,300. Given this system’s media capabilities, you might wish it came in a component-style case like Sony’s new VAIO XL1 Digital Living System does, but as configured, the Sony VAIO RC110G is a quiet, capable desktop PC that provides strong multimedia entertainment features.

Despite its Microsoft Windows Media Center 2005 Edition OS, the RC110G and its midtower case aren’t designed to replace any of your home-theater components. Thanks to its tasteful aesthetics, though, you shouldn’t feel any shame displaying the system on a desk in your home. The VAIO logo lights up white when the system is turned on, and front-panel doors conceal the optical drives and the various ports, preserving the system’s bold, pristine appearance.
