The CineMagix Grand Theater represents Velocity Micro's first foray into the realm of the all-out home theater PC. Blu-Ray, CableCard, Windows Vista Home Premium, quad-core CPUs--they're all here. You can also scale it back to more modest specs, starting at $2,195. Our review unit came in with most of the bells and whistles listed above (minus the CableCard support), and for its $4,385 price tag, we found that its value compares well against systems from the likes of Niveus, Okoro, and other vendors that compete in the high-end home theater PC (HTPC) market. We still think that the current concept of a home theater PC is flawed, even with all of the new, Vista-supported features in this system.
