I am responding to my own message about not receiving my empire series pc. It did take forever to get, however they have been very responsive to far to make sure that I am happy with my pc. I did have a problem with the tuner card and my mouse, but they are taking care of the issue. I will post again when I am up and running with the whole system configured.

Like anonymous, I’ve paid for a system, and have seen my promised ship date come and go. In my case, I was told that my system was “on the bench”, and would be burned in for 72 hours and then shipped.

That was several weeks ago. Since then, I’ve been completely unable to reach them by phone or email.

I purchased one of the Empire Series Media PC’s after reading this article, but I must pass on some information. After committing to a shipment date of July 25th, I still had not received my product by August 18th and am still waiting. Their customer service is terribly slow, often times having to leave messages on an answering machine. I’m excited to get the product, so I just hope that they are better techies than businessmen.

I’d like to see the 1000W amp that fits in the space of two PCI slots. That would be pulling some 8-9 amps from a 120V source.

I’m sure it’s fine for someone that doesn’t want to spend the money on both a receiver and a HTPC, but at that price, you could get yourself a decent receiver (somewhere around $800-1200) and still build your own HTPC for the $2000…

In addition to the two fans that you see on the case there are 5 more — seven in all but to my ears the unit was silent.
