OMwave DH-1 Entertainment PC
Posted by Jason Dunn in "HARDWARE" @ 03:00 AM
"A new entry into the Entertainment PC market has emerged. OMwave, a privately held French company (with an office in California), is set to unleash the OMwave DH-1, a fanless, A/V component size PC running OMwave's OMtheater media software (eerily resembles ShowShifter) on a Windows XP foundation. An interesting feature to point out is the PC's silent cooling system, which is made up two componets: One, an aluminum enclosure with copper heat sink pipes that attach to the case for heat disbursement; two, an oversized, external aluminum heat sink power supply (kind of odd and interesting at the same time)."
Looks like an interesting device - I've suddenly become very keen on integrating a PC into my home entertainment system. I tried it years ago, and the results we're less then satisfying, but I'm planning on giving it another one. One curious thing about this product listing is the mention of a 500 GB hard drive. Unless I've missed an announcement someplace, such a thing doesn't exist - the largest drive today is 400 GB. Still, it looks like a slick device!
