In addition to being a professional grade media center, the Monolith is small, quiet and versatile - the perfect compliment to your living room.
Monolith works with your current and future components
With the increasing number of ways to connect home theater equipment, a media center must be designed to accommodate them all. Monolith allows you to connect to a TV with Composite, S-Video, DVI or HDMI1 connections. An audio receiver can connect with either RCA or a digital SPDIF connection.2 Additionally, if you use a cable or satellite box for accessing premium content, Monolith provides a variety of methods to interface with it.
Easily connect to your existing home network
By connecting the Monolith to your home network you can easily share TV shows, music, videos and pictures with other household devices. Just connect the Monolith using the built in 10/100/1000Base-T network card to your router and instantly the shared folders become available. Dragging and dropping music, videos and pictures is only a few clicks away. Additionally, available firewire and USB ports allow you to transfer media quickly from a variety of compatible devices - like digital cameras and camcorders.3
Designed for your living room
When designing a computer to exist in your living room, special attention has to be given to size, cosmetics and operating noise. Using low power components and a small form factor case, the designers at MonolithMC, Inc. were able to satisfy all three requirements. With a footprint of only 10"x14"x4" and a flat black finish, the Monolith remains unobtrusive. The Monolith also only produces 33dB4 of noise while operating. For you non-geeks, this is between a whisper (30dBA) and a bubbling brook (40dBA). So next time we say the Monolith is whisper quiet, you'll know we're not kidding!
