I love those "Show off your Home Theater" setup. I hope to one day bring back the old gallery setup that HTPCnews used to have. In the meantime, if anyone is interested in showing off their own setups with a guest blog, let me know. We’d be more than happy to host your images for the article as I love […]

I wonder if Dell caught wind of this Lenovo HTPC and wanted to one up them with the news below. Or maybe it happened vice versa? Either way, we at least do have specs and pricing on this offering. Based on the X4500 graphics hardware accelleration does work pretty well, even on an E5200 old school dual core Pentium chip. […]

You would think that it would be easier to monetize online videos since you know exactly how many people view every bit of the video available.

The funding is impressive in this climate, but no doubt the investors saw the immense growth that Boxee has accomplished with such a small budget. This should guarantee the continuation and improvement for quite some time–which hopefully will result in more […]

Interesting looking box, and based on the more than capable ION platform (Flash content TBD). I like the look of this small little chassis, but am curious what the display will be utilized for. Not a huge fan of the remote, but if it allows the unit to come at a low price, then I’m ok with that. EngadgetHD […]

I’m honestly surprised the number is not larger. It’s funny that these reports seem to come out yearly, and then every year the good movies continue to shatter box office records.
