ASUS makes computers to fit pretty much everyone's needs, but until now hasn't released a high-end all-in-one desktop.  The new ET2400 series looks to redress that slight imbalance by providing a complete entertainment PC in one sleek package.

There are seven different models in the series, and between them they offer a massive choice of configurations. 

To start with, all models come with a 23.6in 1,920x1,080px screen, 2GB DDR3 and up to 1TB of mechanical storage.  A range of different CPUs are on offer, though, including a dual-core Intel Pentium E5500, a Core i3-540, Core i-5-650 and a quad-core Core i7-740QM, as well as an AMD Athlon II X2 220. 

The systems will also differ in graphical capabilities, with choices of on board graphics, an ATI Radeon HD 5470 or HD4570, an NVIDIA G310M and even an undisclosed Fermi-based GPU.

Rounding out the major options are an available touchscreen on high-end models and the choice of DVD or Blu-ray drives.  The range topping ET2400XVT even comes with a 120Hz screen compatible with NVIDIA's 3D Vision system.

ASUS has also added a few extra bells and whistles to the systems, too.  The ET2400 range will feature the company's SonicMaster Technology for higher-quality sound, Super Hybrid Engine for increased performance on Intel-based systems and a TV tuner on select models.  There will also be an HDMI input which will allow the PCs to be used as a screen for a games console or another computer.

For those interested, the media-focused PCs should be available soon, though we don't have any details on pricing just yet. Complete specs for all models are available directly from ASUS.

Needs the option of more RAM (that system is hopelessly imbalanced) and if it's trying to tempt PC users then it needs a screen with a usable resolution, not the utter dross of a 16:9 ratio which for some reason is dominating etailers now.

This :( Although I don't have that much of a problem with 16:9 as long as it's a decent resolution - i.e. 1920x1080 is ok - but 1280x720 is a big step down from 1280x800. Hell, even Windows tells you it can't fit everything on the screen.
