Niveus Media came to this year's CEDIA
locked and loaded, and while most typical consumers won't look too far past the sub-$2,000 Vail system, those with cash to spare and colleagues to impress will certainly appreciate the
Core i7-powered $19,999
Pro Series n9 media center PC. The rig setup on the show floor had said HTPC connected to four dual-CableCARD boxes via USB ($1,500 a pop), giving it the ability to
record eight HD shows simultaneously
while streaming HD movie clips to ten other Media Center Extenders (without a hiccup, might we add). The mid-range
Denali was also on hand, and Blu-ray drives were found across the board. We also spent a tick with the new
v1.5 Niveus Movie Library, which very neatly enabled us to surf to any media stored locally or on the networked
16TB Cargo Media Server. Even if you can't afford it, this stuff is still worth a look.

Wow.
Very cool stuff.
Hey how did they get those movies into the media server? Anyone know?

The software allows for ripping DVDs straight to the HDD if you provide the decrypting application. Also, you can load in WMV files, MovieGiant movies, etc. -- they all show up with cover art like a DVD, and files can be sorted by file type.
