While a certain group of customers have apparently fallen madly in love with Ximeta's NDAS offerings, we're not entirely sure what these two forthcoming devices will actually be called when they land this summer. Klegg Electronics has reportedly snapped up Ximeta's NetDisk brand, but regardless of what label the NetDisk Home and NetDisk Office don, these two media servers could potentially offer up a much desired solution. According to CEPro, Ximeta is claiming that its newfangled NDAS units can "stream DVDs over the network," which could prove difficult to fulfill due to the ever-lurking DRM that will surely appear somewhere in that equation. Regardless, the NetDisk Home is slated to come in a two-bay rack and dual two-bay rack form, while the Office variety includes a single and dual four-bay rack with four hot-swappable SATA drive bays. Each will include the MediaPortal software to serve up music, photos, and videos around the network, and the fanless design should keep the noise level down within your AV system. Furthermore, the NetDisks can be configured for automatic RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 5 backup, but unfortunately, there's no built in web server nor details regarding a price just yet.

Klegg seems to be kicking it up a notch from the wee LCDs it's accustomed to producing, as the 40-inch KLM-4010 is more suited for your living room than your front pocket. While it's certainly not the first LCD TV to stuff MCE functionality into its confines, this brushed aluminum beast packs quite a laundry list of impressive specs. It boasts a 1000:1 contrast ratio, 500cd/m2 of brightness, 1,366 x 768 resolution, HDMI, a pair of DVI ports, component, S-Video, composite, digital audio output, and a built-in Hauppauage PVR-150 MCE tuner. Additionally, it rocks an Intel Pentium 4 3GHz 630 processor, 1GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, NVIDIA GeForce 6200 graphics card, dual-layer, slot-loading DVD burner, FireWire / USB 2.0 connectors, flash card reader, and dual seven-watt integrated speakers. This PC / TV hybrid touts the ability to download video directly from the internet and store it without the need for a separate HTPC, but unfortunately there's no (presumably high) pricetag or release details to ponder over.

Ok, we have heard of the Klegg Mini MP3 player - "world's smallest MP3" that really isn't - but we didn't know the company made other electronics. Whoever they are, we are curious to see their new plasma line. The aluminum framed 42, 50, 55 and 63-inch sets sound kind of nice. Somehow Klegg has developed a TFT panel overlay of liquid crystal to "enhance transparency, contrast and picture definition." We really don't understand why, or how, a TFT panel ended up in their plasmas but we aren't totally knocking it till we see it - remember this is the same company that has made the "world's smallest" MP3 player. These sets are only available from an authorized dealer and are available now.
