Niveus Media DVRs Will Tease Your TiVo, Take His Lunch Money
2:00AM Mark Wilson | Most of us will be happy with consumer-priced stock DVRs or TiVos. But for those who are looking for something better for the ego, Niveus has just revealed their updated media centres, the Rainier, Pro Series and Denali Limited Edition. All three lines support 8 CableCards and 10 Media Centre Extenders. The Rainier is modest, storing 1TB of data with no fans. The rack-mountable Pro Series continues the fanless trend and packs 4TB of storage, 32GB SSD, Intel Core i7 processor and Nvidia Series 9 graphics card (for when 1080P video just isn’t enough). The Denali Series (pictured) is similar to the Pro Series, but maxes at 2TB of storage to make room for a Blu-ray drive. These monster media centres will be available in Q4 2008. More »

Niveus’s Sierra Windows Media Centers Goes Intro-Level for Home Builders
11:56AM Jason Chen | 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. More »

Niveus EDGE Media Center Extender Does 1080p, is Whisper Quiet, But No Wireless N
1:58AM Brian Lam | 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, aluminium case that acts like a giant heatsink. It does not, unfortunately, have any wireless capabilities. At least it’s 1080p. [Niveus] More »
