Interesting. OS2007. They don't even bother to upgrade it to diablo before installing. I wonder how they handle having to re-flash (or how much of a deal that is if you arn't hacking around).
I wonder how much they charge for the IT, maybe around $1k (based off the original sell price)?
This is not overpriced, but a complete rip off. You could buy a 770, decent computer, High End audio card, 3 TB storage, and really good speakers for under 5k, with the bulk of the cost being the speakers. It wouldn't be that hard to tie them together either.
Or you can be cheap and buy an modded xbox, 770, and cheep 5.1 speakers for like 500 bucks.
Maybe I am underestimating the quality or something, because 10k seems way too expensive...

Basically its an headless audio server with 1.5 TB of HD space, a digital out, and three RCA/XLR outs, it auto rips cds into WAV, and some other stuff too, but at 10k, its pretty overpriced, in my opinion

itll cost almost 800 US for the n800 and the software completely setup by them alone
I get almost the exact same funtionality with a few dozen man hours, mythtv and canola2.
