OEM Solutions
An aim of the Element project is to deliver OEMs of all sizes with cost effective solutions for Home Theater, Media Center PCs, and Set-top boxes. HTPCs a few years ago were seemingly fading due to the high cost and low demand, but recent innovations in web-based television and hardware have allowed exciting new products to enter the arena and now the demand has never been higher. OEMs can build units more afford-ably than ever before and end-users don't have to empty their pocket books to enjoy the pleasures of an unrestrained internet media experience from the comforts of their couch.

Why choose Element for HTPCs?

Element provides one of the most unique, easily understandable, and eye-appealing interfaces for the Home Theater PC experience. Our system is much more than just a media center, that may be its primary function but Element OS is a full fledged computing and internet environment adapted to a clutter-free ten foot user interface. Our users love it and so will yours. Visit our Overview and Technology pages to learn more.

What can the OEM expect?

BASIC: We adapt our system to meet each OEMs specific needs in regard to hardware and software, including additional drivers, libraries, applications, media codecs, and custom repositories.

PLUS: We integrate ppc search engines, referral programs (Amazon, eMusic, etc), and any other affiliate system of choosing so the OEM can continue to generate revenue  even after the initial sale of the hardware.

REBRAND: We’re even willing to completely re-brand our system so that its fits into your companies line of products and substitute Element icons and branding with your own desired logos and names.*

What are the costs?

We work with primarily smaller companies and open source hardware projects but will provide larger OEMs the opportunity to ship an unlimited amount of units for a flat distribution fee. Small-scale OEM costs typically range from three to six dollars per unit depending on the amount of initial work put into the customization of the system.
