Niveus Media looks to be offering a really good media center package for those who can afford it, why is it that a person can build a media center camparable to Niveus' most expensive product, but cost thousands less, (minus the cable card support, which to me, doesnt mean a whole lot) i think i need to get into the media center building business.
1 media center following a home theater component form factor,
core 2 duo processor,
2 gigs memory,
nvidia 8800 gtx
dual hdtv tuners/1 analog
1 terabyte storage
$2500.
similar Niveus product,
$7000?

These products are not targeted to the DUY crowd, but to people and dealers who demand support and products that don't involve a lot of work to set up and configure. An HTPC is definitely NOT an easy thing to set up for most people.
