Vista plus CableCard goodness, still expensive
Looks like more and more CableCARD enabled MediaCenter Vista PCs are showing up. We are very disappointed that it starts at $4,500 still, which is Not reasonable, by any stretch.
It does sport some very impressive specs, especially in storage area, with sizes in Terrabytes using RAID 5, no less.
Granted the technology is very new, but frankly, there aren’t any super expensive components that are required to make MediaCenter Vista HTPC happen — lets see which manufacturer breaks the $1,500 mark. I think only then we will start seeing any kind of market traction.
