IPods, cellphones, X-Box 360s and many other devices are allowing for music and video to be listened to and watched anywhere the consumer wants. One place where I want to listen to music and watch movies is my home theater system. In the past doing this required a Home Theater PC (HTPC). Now there are tons of devices that can accomplish this task. One such device is Galaxy's TVisto external hard drive enclosure, provided by Geeks.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/tvisto_mediacenter/02.jpg"><img src="atruereview/tvisto_mediacenter/02th.jpg" alt="TVisto Multimedia Center" title="TVisto Multimedia Center" width="250" height="202" border="0"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p><strong>Packaging:</strong></p> <p>Geek's packages all their items in plain brown boxes.

The rest of the package shows a home theater scenario where the TVisto multimedia center would be used. At the top is information about the type of things that can be played with the TVisto (music, movies, pictures). Also , included on the front is a sticker that informs that TVisto is compatible with up to a 500GB hard drive. </p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/tvisto_mediacenter/14.jpg"><img src="atruereview/tvisto_mediacenter/14th.jpg" alt="TVisto Multimedia Center" title="TVisto Multimedia Center" width="250" height="209" border="0"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p align="left">The back of the retail box is just as busy as the front.
