New VoodooPC Aria Makes DVD Images

September 16, 2005 By Ian Bell

VoodooPC's latest Media Center PC will back your DVD's up onto the systems hard drive, including movie box covers.

We aren’t sure how this Media Center PC will get along with Hollywood, but for the time being the new VoodooPC Aria has one of the coolest features we have seenin a long time. You can backup full DVD’s onto the systems hard drive and the Aria will also download the movie box covers. The Aria is powered by an AMD Turion 64 mobile processor (yes, we saidmobile) and will cost around $3,550 USD. You can customize your own Aria with a myriad of options including system color, your processor, memory and hard drive of choice and more. If you notice thethumbnail above this article, click it! The Aria comes with a mini LCD screen built right into the systems chassis. How cool is that? Check out VoodooPC for moreinfo.

fungku at 9:56pm 20th September 2005 That's CannonPC, not to be confused with Canon (the folks who make cameras and printers.)

I think these cases look awesome with the LCD display in front, and it does look *almost* identical to the CannonPC media center
Ian Bell and Dan Gaul at 3:24pm 16th September 2005 Really? $350 isn't too bad, does that include an LCD screen too? If you have a link, please post. Cannon announced their new Media PC's and they look almost identical to this VoodooPC. Check it out here: http://news.digitaltrends.com/article8338.html
Brandon King at 11:08am 16th September 2005 The DVD archiving is pretty nice. I wonder if they're just ripping ISOs and using a virtual drive. The case is neat, but you can buy it online for around $350 alone.
Ian Bell and Dan Gaul at 9:18am 16th September 2005 I just realized after posting this that there is a company called kaleidoscape (spelling) that has a similar product. I remember they had trouble with Hollywood and copyright issues at one point. Whatever happened with them? Also, I must be spelling their name wrong because I cannot find their website. Can someone please link it?
