SE2 Labs isn't afraid to toot its own horn with the ITC One, introducing this monster of a home entertainment system on its site with, "ITC One. Hello, awesomeness." The AV company has no problem attaching a luxury price to the all-in-one theatre box, either, suggesting a $50,000 tag for a full-featured model.
In addition to the Wii and Xbox 360 packed right next to each other (that can't be great for heat management), the ITC One has an iPod with a universal dock, a 4.3" touch screen, Xbox 360 HD-DVD player, an ICEpower D-Class amp, a DirecTV HD DVR, a Brystron DSP, and enough inputs and outputs in the back to plug in every single device in your home. With all that and more, it's easy to see why SE2 Labs feels it can confidently claim that they've jammed in "every high-end component you need."
Interestingly, the current design doesn't allow users to access the Wii's GameCube ports, so you can cross GameCube compatibility from the ITC One's long list of features. Siliconera had a chance to speak with SE2 at the ongoing Consumer Electronics Show, and asked CEO Michael Pyle why the low-end Wii was included with the high-end system. Pyle responded, "It fit in there, so we figured, why not?"
SE2 Labs plans to offer a base model of the ITC One without the Wii and other components for the low price of $19,900. Sounds like a steal to us! Bring your moneybags past the break for a couple more photos of the ITC One.

Why? This might just be the biggest waste of money I've ever seen.

...Because I saw it on Nintendo Wii Fanboy, that's why.

And here I thought there couldn't be anything with a design uglier than the PS3's...

actually, the PS3 looks MUCH, MUCH better in person. a friend of mine brought one over to my house the other day and it's actually really slick looking.

Matter of opinion I guess. I've seen them both in store setups and at a friend's place and I still think it's a fugly piece of equipment.

This thing has actually managed to be more useless than the PS3. (Yeah, I never thought I'd get to say that either.) This thing offers nothing that I can see that is of original design, meaning you can get all of it's components elsewhere except the case. Seeing as how almost everybody who wants those things, then, likely already has some if not most of them, it would be a waste to buy this and pay twice for what you already have. And those who don't have them but do want them, likely don't have $50,000 to just throw around. Just about the only thing they've managed to do is fit it all into a tiny space which is great for storage, but ultimately seems to limit its functionality.

Waste of money. I bet all that stuff together costs less than $10.000

An ugly, gray espresso machine that plays HD-DVD which already is outnumbered by the Bluray...
the Wii and 360 in combo is nice, though.

Is it me? Or, in the bottom photo, does the button for input selection for the Wii say "We"? Right between the selction buttons for "Disc" (360?) and "Aux1".

Where's the Wii?
The photos here show a Wii, but if you go to the site, it has two XBox 260 drives instead.
