Introduction
If there is one thing you should never ignore, it’s the underdog. In the case of Origen AE, it was a manufacturer we had heard very little about but a quick look at the company's products highlighted a seemingly special range of Home Theatre Personal Computer (HTPC) chassis for the enthusiast.Seeing as our sample came from SpecialTech, we decided to head on over to its site and take a look at the UK prices of its sleek aluminium models, and in the case of today’s review model, the Origen X11 in particular.
With a delivered price of £180 there is no doubt that Origen AE positions it in the upper-end of the HTPC market. Korean-designed, Chinese-manufactured, the X11 certainly has some stiff competition from cheaper models on the market nowadays, so does it hold its own or is it a damp squib?
