Talk about putting all of your eggs in one basket. Silicon Mountain has evidently taken a note from <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/tag/lumenlab/">Lumenlab</a> with its incredibly multifaceted Allio. For starters, the 42-inch set arrives with a full-blown PC within, including an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 CPU, 4GB of RAM, a 1TB hard drive and Windows Vista Home Premium. You'll also find a smorgasbord of inputs, a number of USB ports, wired / wireless networking options and a 1080p panel; speaking of the TV itself, it features a 2,000:1 contrast ratio, 400 cd/m2 brightness and twin 12-watt speakers. On top of all that, the California-assembled unit even includes a slim-line Blu-ray player, theoretically beating both <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/15/sharp-aquos-dx-series-worlds-first-lcd-hdtv-with-built-in-blu/">Sharp</a> and <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/08/13/funai-aims-to-bring-lcd-hdtv-blu-ray-combo-units-to-north-amer/">Funai</a> to the market with Blu-ray-infused HDTVs. As of now, six different configurations are available (including a 32-incher) starting at $1,599, and the company is planning on offering "low-cost" versions with Ubuntu in the near future. Head on past the break for the full release.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/10/silicon-mountains-allio-42-inch-hdtv-with-built-in-pc-blu-ra/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Silicon Mountain's Allio: 42-inch HDTV with built-in PC / Blu-ray player</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/10/silicon-mountains-allio-42-inch-hdtv-with-built-in-pc-blu-ra/">Silicon Mountain's Allio: 42-inch HDTV with built-in PC / Blu-ray player</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Mon, 10 Nov 2008 00:00:00 EST.
