This new device as originally reported in this Engadget article – the MacPower DMG7 – is intended as an add-on for the Mac-Mini to give high quality audio/video playback and offers the following features:

· Embedded Linux operating system
· Supports a 3.5″ Hard Drive
· Onboard Wired LAN connection
· Wi-Fi / Bluetooth support
· High Definition 1080i/720p Large Video Playback
· SPDIF Dolby 5.1 Audio support
· All major Video & Audio formats including WMV9 & DivX support

As a recent Mac-Mini and NewerTech MiniStack owner, this device seems a pretty interesting solution for turning it into a multimedia hub.
