Less than 2 months ago, Terry reviewed a Windows Home Server from Illustrate called the RipNAS. This appliance was designed around WHS and marketed toward the home media enthusiast. Well, the guys over at Illustrate are at it again. Introducing the
RipNAS Statement™
Make a Statement ‘Ripping NAS at home in the living room’
So what is so special about the Statement? Other than this nifty looking appliance is a “CD Ripper, Windows Home Server, Network Attached Storage & Media Streamer in one silent box”, the
RipNAS Statement challenges the conception that NAS devices have to be hidden away, both for acoustic and aesthetic reasons, Statement is visually stunning, whilst acoustically designed. Statement combines Audio CD ripping, Network Attached Storage and Media Streaming in one Hi-Fi standard 43cm width box.
The Statement is available in two models: the super-silent Statement SSD (Solid State Drives), or the Statement HDD (more storage capacity).
Illustrate continues to blur the fine-line between data centers and media centers. Since the “Statement is pre-configured to work right out of the box, no computer, keyboard, LCD or computer skills are required. Say goodbye to audio CD clutter and move your media into the convenience of the digital age”, we are coming a lot closer to that Plug-N-Play do-all home server appliance that the average consumer is looking for. And did I mention The Wife Factor?
