General VidaBox Systems Review		VidaBox Media Centers Overview "The CRN Test Center was impressed with the design and construction of the systems. Test Center engineers have reviewed plenty of so-called Media Center PCs in which the vendor simply slaps a copy of Windows XP Media Center Edition on a standard computer and calls it a Media Center PC. That is not the case here. VidaBox clearly took significant time to understand how Media Center PCs can fit into the home and designed units accordingly..." [Read More]

DualHD™ LUX™		VidaBox LUX™ DualHD™ Edition (5200+ AM2 Dual-Core, 2GB RAM) HES 2007 Shows: "The line to get into the Vidabox room was so long you would have thought it was a popular ride at a theme park. Well, it turns out that what the room contained was more jaw-dropping than any theme park ride I have ever been on..."
DualHD™ LUX™	Exclusive Video!	VidaBox LUX™ DualHD™ Edition (4200+ AM2 Dual-Core, 1GB RAM) "While there have been talks about dual-format players from LG, Pioneer and Ricoh, none have materialized -- until the Lux and Max Media Centers from Vidabox hit the scenes." [See Video]

SLIM™	4.5 out of 5 Value!	VidaBox SLIM™ (3800+ AM2 Dual Core, 1 GB RAM): "...I love that its small size blends in so well with the rest of my components...Once I got a working model, it took nearly everything I could throw at it in stride with only minor hiccups. It performed admirably on the HQV tests and the interplay between the different cards and components worked fairly seamlessly...The Karaoke is fun at parties and the RAID 5 storage is fantastic edition... the VidaBox Slim offers a sleek, elegant, and most of all stable solution. Media Centers may not have moved out of the office for many, but the Slim and its low-profile DVD looks, makes great strides towards the home theater." [Read More]
	Good - 6.4	VidaBox SLIM™ Original (3200+ Single Core, 1GB RAM) "Slim design for home-theater setups; cheaper than many other premium Media Centers; component video outputs... The A/V connections are what a system like this is all about, and with the VidaBox Slim, we found a lot to like..." [Read More]

ROOMMATE	Detailed Review	VidaBox ROOMMATE (Pentium M 1.7GHz, 1GB RAM) "The makers of the RoomMate appear to be a company on a mission to simplify the Media Center PC experience. In all, it took me about 5 minutes to get [it] hooked up to my television/monitor and another 5 minutes to complete the Media Center setup. This is a testament both to the RoomMate and the Microsoft Media Center software."  [Read More]
	Video Review	VidaBox ROOMMATE (Pentium M 1.7GHz, 1GB RAM) "The Vidabox Roommate is a small, stylish media center and home theater PC. Packing a 1.7Ghz Pentium M Processor, 250Gb hard drive, and a dual-layer DVD recorder, this near silent running PC can pretty much do anything you would need a media center PC to do..."   [See Video]
	Score - 7.5 / 10	VidaBox ROOMMATE (Pentium M 1.7GHz, 1GB RAM) "The Vidabox RoomMate really earns its stay when being used in a setting that takes advantage of its small size. A dorm room, bedroom, study, home theater or kitchen really seems to make the most sense... the Vidabox RoomMate is definitely one of the most attractive systems out there, both in looks and performance."   [Read Review]
