Niveus announces Rainier and Denali Edition Media Center PCs

Niveus has just announced its latest media centers, dubbed the Rainier and Denali Editions, the two products that comprise the 2007 Summit Series line at this year's CEDIA, being held in Denver. The just-over 4-inch tall Rainier ($3,500), runs Windows Media Center 2005, and is loaded up with HDMI, WiFi, an SD/MMC reader, IEEE 1394, dual USB ports, VGA, composite and S-Video in, eight-channel analog audio out, S/PDIF, and of course, Ethernet. Further, it boasts up to three television tuners (two NTSC and one ATSC), 750GB of storage, 2GB of RAM, and an ATI X1600 Pro graphics card. If that wasn't enough to whet your appetite, the 8-inch tall Denali ($7,000) is even more loaded, with an Intel Core 2 Duo (no word on what speed yet), four television tuners (a pair of NTSCs and ATSCs), NVIDIA's GeForce Series 7 graphics card, a full terabyte of storage, a whopping 4GB of RAM, and even has, as we previously reported, built-in support for CableCARDs. Expect both editions to ship on September 30, but while you wait we've got more pics of the Rainier and the Denali Editions on the other side.

Strangely, it looks like the Rainier will support HD DVD, but no the Denali.

denali and rainier are the names of a national park and a mountain respectively you dullard, for the sake of the world get an education and don’t breed.

[Ben @ Sep 14th 2006 6:16PM]

Wow little harsh "master_of_fm". He is technically right anyway, and manu people would associate Denali with the GMC SUV.

Funny - I didn't see any cablecard spots????? Until - VISTA, HDMI w/HDCP, Cablecard 2.0 (2way On-Demand and Programming Guide) , HD-DVD/BD are incorportated - there is no reason to spend $$$$$$$ on a HTPC of this caliber.

There will be a day when we see it :)))))) - but not until '08 :(((((((

[Camperton @ Sep 15th 2006 5:57AM]

I associate Ranier with beer.

[simba dogg @ Sep 15th 2006 1:25PM]

Yeah, but anyone that associates Denali and Rainier only w/ GM is a moron. If there are people in this world that still dont remember anything from their geography glass...well, what can i say.
