This little black box known as the Daboda HMC-1 may not be the prettiest one I’ve ever seen, but underneath is a combined NAS (for network attached storage) and media center. It’s also able to decode high-def video all the way up to 1080p. Too bad my HDTV only does 1080i.

Let’s put it in honest terms: you download HD rips of TV shows and movies onto the Daboda, then play them back on your TV or monitor using the selfsame Daboda’s DVI, component or S-Video connection. It revolutionizes piracy, which, again, we are against in all its forms.
