VoodooPC Aria Media Center rips your DVDs

Er, rather, it "archives" them — we're sure they had to choose that language very carefully to avoid the long arm of the CMPDA (that would be the Canadian equivalent of the MPAA, Hoss). VoodooPC's new Aria Media Center'c claim to fame is its special DVD Archival System, which lets you drop in a DVD and quickly copy it to the unit's internal hard drive
(color us impressed this is even an option for manufacturers here in "content protection"-addled . It also claims to be a good 50% faster than media centers from other companies, by virtue of its use of the AMD Turion low-power notebook processor to keep fast but quiet components humming along inside. You'll have to be prepared to shell out for all that fastitude with $3,550 of your hard-earned dollars, which does at least also net you a custom painted finish of your choice.
