Niveus Media's 2009 Pro Series n9 Media Server - 8 HD Tuners to Rock your World!

If you're looking for the mother-of-all media servers, you'll want to check out the Niveus Media's 2009 Pro Series n9 Media Server. The n9 comes with 8 HD tuners and 10 media extenders. Nope, that's not a typo and according to EngadgetHD:

"Niveus has nurtured the digital cable functionality and compatibility since early 2007 and is proud to be one of the first to support both eight CableCARDS and ten extenders," states Tim Cutting, Niveus CEO and Co-Founder. "By doubling the performance of the Niveus Media Server, we can now support even the largest installations."
The ability to access a robust DVR library and distribute all live and recorded HD content to eleven independent zones will be supported by Niveus' most powerful media server, the Pro Series n9, set to be released in Q4 2008. The n9 will feature a next-generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor, for the ultimate in high-definition, multi-zone entertainment.

Pairing the n9 with four Niveus Digital Cable Receivers, an external, dual CableCARD tuner device, allows cable subscribers to simultaneously view and record eight standard definition or HD programs. Leveraging the increasingly popular Extender for Windows® Media Center platform, users can now stream these eight digital cable signals along with ALL other HD content in up to eleven zones.

We doubt there's enough electricity in our house to run this sucker. No word on price but we do know the last n9 with 4 tuners came in at $15,000 grand so be ready to take a second or third job for the pleasure of owning the n9 powerhouse.
