So Long, Stupid Media Streaming Boxes, You Sucked
They were basically obsolete from the beginning: Massive plastic coffins that beamed media from your PC to your TV. That's it. For $400. And now they're returning to the abyss, where they belong. More » -

Niveus's Sierra Windows Media Centers Goes Intro-Level for Home Builders
Branching out from their full-featured (read: Expensive) Media Centers, Niveus is introducing a Sierra Edition Media Server, which is also designed for the home-builder market. The Sierra, which is half the size of their normal units, also consumes "low power" and uses an HD DVD drive, 500GB storage, a GeForce "Series 8", and 1080p streaming. It'll be available in Q1 2008 for "volume integrators", which means people who will be installing them in homes or other markets which you probably don't qualify for buying this for yourself.

We got hands on with their Media Centers last year. -

Niveus EDGE Media Center Extender Does 1080p, is Whisper Quiet, But No Wireless N
The fourth and final MCE extender is by niveus is the best looking, has 3 USB ports which is two more than what you probably need for thumbdrive playback, and best of all passive cooling. The passive cooling, if it is like the type in the full sized Niveus Media Center PCs, it uses heatpipes that go from processor blocks to the finned, aluminum case that acts like a giant heatsink. It does not, unfortunately, have any wireless capabilities. At least it's 1080p. [Niveus] More » -

Rumor: Niveus CableCARD Media Center Shipping Next Week
We often send our intern blongo to sift through various companies' dumpsters—he gets to keep whatever food he finds—but most of the time all he comes back with is a handful of useless press releases, some pens, and garlic breath. This time, however, he's discovered that Niveus may be planning to unleash their CableCARD-capable Vista HTPCs next week. More » -

Niveus' Media Center Monoliths Bring HD DVD and CableCard Support to Your Living Room
Not for the faint of heart, Niveus' new Media Centers are the Rolls Royce of HTPCs.

PVR-wise, the machine will be one of the first PCs to support CableCARDs from your cable company, letting you record TV without the need for a set-top box. All very tempting, but make sure to bring your plastic to the store, as the machines will start at $3,499 (Rainier Edition) as of today. More » -

Niveus n9 Pro Series: Fulfills High Def Fantasies
We've seen Niveus' media servers before. These luxurious boxes are packed to the gills with terabytes of storage and enough features to make your $4k PC look anemic. Well, now the company has updated their line giving the new n9 Pro Series everything an avid HD fan could want. In addition to the integrated HD DVD drive, the n9 packs 4 TV tuners, support for 8-channel audio, and 4GB of RAM. Did we mention its spankin' new quad-core QX6700 CPU? The n9 will cost you dearly (about $15k), but no one said top-level performance came cheap. More »
