Moneual have completely dedicated their efforts to the future of the multimedia experience and have grown to be one of the most respected names when it comes to media servers, fully proving that true quality means living up to the expectations. The 2008 CES has been the place where Moneual have announced their newest addition to the product range, the impressive multimedia PC codenamed I*magine.

The Moneual I*magine sports a most unconventional look, far from being a truly PC-like piece of tech: instead, we're talking a cylindrical-shaped case on whose side a large display and multiple command knobs and slots can be easily accessed for extreme convenience. This exquisite media server comes with native 1080p video output and work with 5.1-channels audio for the most enthralling surround atmosphere with music and movies alike.

One of the all-in-one multimedia solutions for your  house

At the heart of the Moneual I*magine runs an Intel Core2 Duo 2.0GHz processor, aided by 2GB or RAM, an ATI 2400 PRO video card with 256MB of memory and a 500GB SATA HDD, with everything running Windows Vista Home Premium. The command interface is the 7" touchscreen display proudly placed in the middle of the large metal front panel. The Moneual I*magine can work in both horizontal and vertical position so it will effortlessly suit a wide variety of applications.

Additional and very cool features are the built-in wireless network, keyboard and remote controller, voice-recognition program and the Bluetooth headset for distant voice command. The Moneual I*magine is due March 2008 for just under $2,000 a piece, but prices can vary according to your own customization, in terms of bigger hard drives, RAM memory and so on. Indeed, for a HTPC (home theater PC), the Moneual I*magine might seem expensive, but the completely individual and exquisite design will make the difference.
