PC Magazine checked out this HTPC and writes: "The HP Digital Entertainment Center z556 ($1,499 direct) is the follow-up to the excellent z555 we looked at last summer. The hardware of both systems (and the z545) is similar, down to the flat-black case and just about all the internal components. But the new model comes at a much more attractive price ($500 less than its predecessor), and improves the Media Center experience by including Windows Media Center Update Rollout 2, thus the z556 is our gold standard for home-theater–friendly Media Center PCs.."
