If you were curious as to which manufacturer would begin utilizing those fancy
Core i7 chips first, we highly doubt
Niveus Media came to mind. Granted, it isn't
first to the punch per se, but Intel's latest will help power some of the 2009 line of media servers. The passively cooled
Rainier,
Denali Limited Edition (rear pictured after the break) and the rack-mountable Pro Series have all been upgraded with niceties like HDMI 1.3 and Seagate's Pipeline HD hard drives. You'll also find the G45 Express chipset, SSDs and support for
eight CableCARDs scattered about, though pricing won't be disclosed until we get closer to the Q4 release date. More specifications are listed after the jump.
