If I had a spare $25,000...

The ultimate A/V setup featured a few weeks ago was an awe inspiring thing of beauty, but in spite of having enough tech to keep even the most voracious gearhound happy it was missing a few key components, namely a Wii and an Xbox 360. Thankfully, for people that can afford to spend the obscene amounts of money required to even begin thinking about possibly starting to maybe set up a system like this, a solution to flesh out the gaming gap in your life is available.
Created by SE2 Labs, the ITC One incorporates an Xbox 360, Wii, HD-DVR, iPod Dock, pre-amp processor, and a top notch cooling system in addition to a Blu-Ray player where once there was a HD-DVD drive, all into a 17 by 23 by 22 inch package. Massive for most but meager to someone with the scratch to throw down on something like this, and it's certainly not cheap. At $25,000 a pop you could either buy the ITC One or feed a small African village for a couple years, but really, which is more fun? |
Pointless as hell and so expensive that it really doesn't even matter to begin with, but I think it's still pretty neat. |

| That seems like the biggest pile of wasted research and development. Its way overpriced and it looks like its a mainframe from the 1970s. Absolutely ugly. I wonder how many of these things they will actually sell. |

The only question I have is WHY it costs so much. I'm not up to date on the pricing of a cooling system, but a Wii is $250, a 360 is $300, an iPod dock is..what, $100? More than that? And whats a pre-amp processor? Somebody explain that? And a Blu-ray player is now currently about $400. And somehow the number skyrockets to $25,000.
Still, a neat idea nonetheless. If I had money just sitting around my house I'd pick one up for s and giggles. |

| I think one thing you guys are failing to realize is that this isn't designed for any practical purpose - it's designed for pure excess. :p |

that is the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
a pre-amp? If you have $25k to drop on a game console, chances are you have the dough to drop on some marantz & primare stuff. I doubt that piece of crap has anything worth mention. |

Once again, the price alone should send off massive warning signals saying "Hey, this is for people who have way to much money and want something completely impractical and pointless!"
I didn't start the thread to debate the merits of such a ridiculous contraption :p |
