Tranquil PC introduces AVA RS3 music server

by Darren Murph, posted Jun 27th 2008 at 2:37PM

Hope you like the shiny, because Tranquil PC is bringing lots and lots of it with its latest home music server. The AVA RS3 comes in two flavors, one of which packs 2 x 500GB drives while the other includes a pair of 1TB HDDs. The unit also boasts a fanless design to keep things quiet, and just in case your music library isn't all converted to .wav files just yet, it possesses an internal optical drive to handle direct-to-HDD ripping. Expect these to ship out in around a fortnight for £549 ($1,092) / £699 ($1,390).

Rip-off-. Ahem, RIP OFF.

I've got to say that with the release of Atom Cpus and some of the intel combos, you can get a psu, small mini-form case, atom cpu + mobo combo, a dvd-rom drive and two terabyte hard drives for half the price. Around $700.00.

Sure you have to assemble it yourself or pay $50.00 to have it assembled but you could in theory rip dvds and hook it up to an lcd tv to use it as a music/video library giving more function. Heck, you could throw in a media center remote for dirt cheap.
