VPC-1000 DVD/CD Drive
The VPC-1000 is a DVD ROM and CD ROM drive that features a built in FM tuner.
Our friends at Sharka Corp. are selling what looks to be a great add-on for your computer or home theater PC: the VPC-1000 Multimedia DVD/CD ROM Drive.
The VPC-1000 is a 16X DVD ROM and 48X CD ROM drive with a built-in FM radio tuner and a front flip-down face similar to some aftermarket car stereos.
The VPC-1000 features a bright display and flip-down faceplate, similar to a car stereo.
Since the device is powered by an external power source, it can be used when the computer is turned off. This means you can listen to the FM radio or listen to audio and even MP3 CDs without having to power up your PC.
The VPC-1000 also comes with an infrared remote control and an add-on card for the back panel of your PC. The add-on card is not a PCI slot card, however. It acts as the interface between the external power supply and the DVD/CD drive.
The VPC-1000 package includes a remote, external power supply and internal interface.
