I saw this the other day in another article and I already have one on my wish list :D

With the combination of a home stereo system with a hard-drive based storage system and a portable solution integrated with the remote -- it's a digital audiophiles dream come true.

Now if I can just convince my wife that we "need" one :wink:

Wow, that looks cool! I wonder what OS the remote runs...probably proprietary, eh?

Very cool indeed. 8) I've always liked jukeboxes, but they were never high-tech enough for me to stick in a room (neon glowing bubbles with LPs isn't exactly my view of "modern"). I may to have to make room for this one...

According to that price though, my pocket book doesn't have room for it yet. $1,899 seems a bit steep for what this has in it. Anyone know if it is available for purchase anywhere yet?
