There are some really cool home theater systems out there. A few years ago, I built my own with an Ahanix enclosure. The result was pretty cool. Wireless internet, wireless keyboard & mouse, remote, dvd, 5.1 channel sound, etc. Moneual makes my attempt look like a school boy’s electronics project. Meet the Moneual 972.
The case looks sexy and the functionality is impressive. It features a front touch screen. It can just display tracks, movie titles, radio stations, checking weather, etc. It comes with a read and write blu ray player. It comes with Vista Pro software so you can view all your media. This includes recording TV shows. It’s an overall beast with these specs:
| Processor | Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400, 2.66GHz, 1333MHz, 6MB L2 Cache |
| Operating system | Genuine Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit w/ Digital Cable Support |
| Memory | 2048MB Kingston DDR2-667 (2 x 1024MB) |
| Graphics card |

| Hard drive | Seagate 500 GB 7200RPM SATA 300 |
| ODD | Lite-On LH-4B1S 4X SATA Blu-ray Drive (Optional) |

Cost is around $1700. Hook it up to your HD TV with surround sound and you’re off and running. Oh yeah, would need HD tuner cards, but woop.
