| Dacos Technologies Rapsody 2.5" Multimedia Player
|
Multimedia players are becoming the new iPod-like toy for those who fully embrace new technologies. We have seen a few HTPC cases reviewed at Bigbruin.com lately, but that might not be ideal for many users and their home theater setups. Purchasing and setting up a small multimedia box might be perfect for someone without much room, or for someone who wants more portability at a smaller price tag than a full blown HTPC. Geeks.com sent us a 2.5" hard drive enclosure for review, the Dacos Technologies Rapsody 2.5" Multimedia Player (Model RSH-250), which might just be the perfect product for a quick and portable digital home theater.
