You know how it goes, once one manufacturer goes quad-core with thems <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/core+2+extreme">Intel Core 2 Extreme procs</a>, everybody has to do it. Now <a href="http://www.engadget.com/search/?q=Niveus">Niveus</a> is jumping into the game with its new Pro Series n9 rack-mount media server, which sports a quad-core QX6700 processor, along with Intel Viiv tech, GeForce Series 7 Graphics, 3 terabytes of storage, HD DVD playback, multiple independent HD video and music playback sessions through out the house, and plenty more. The 3U unit is CableCARD ready, and includes HDMI, RAID 5 storage protection, 4 TV tuners (two NTSC, two ATSC), 4GB of RAM and a couple fancy audio options. Of course, none of this comes cheap. The Media Center <em>starts</em> at a cool $15k, and while we've definitely seen pricier solutions to HD nirvana, that doesn't change the fact that $15k is a good chunk of change.<br /><br />[Thanks, Michael F.]<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">*</p><p><a href=http://www.niveusmedia.com/collateral/PR111406_QuadCoreProcessor.htm>Read</a> | <a href="http://hdtv.engadget.com/2006/11/15/niveus-goes-quad-core-with-new-n9-pro-series-media-server/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://hdtv.engadget.com/forward/702487/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&fc=1&url=http://hdtv.engadget.com/2006/11/15/niveus-goes-quad-core-with-new-n9-pro-series-media-server/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking Blogs</a> | <a href="http://hdtv.engadget.com/2006/11/15/niveus-goes-quad-core-with-new-n9-pro-series-media-server/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p><hr /><p><a title="Sponsored By" href="http://ad.doubleclick.net/click;h=v2|3747|0|0|%2a|u;44404524;0-0;0;13519412;31-1|1;17996600|18014495|1;;%3fhttp://www.fordboldmoves.com/default.aspx?bannerid=%esid!|%epid!|%eaid!|%ecid!" target="_blank">BOLD MOVES: THE FUTURE OF FORD</a> A new documentary series.
