To anyone who has the money to blow on this speaker, let alone an entire 5.1 setup… Wanna adopt me? In all seriousness, clearly, this is not aimed at the home audio/video afficionado, nor even home theater builders. Impressive, nonetheless. The Ultimate is a rather large speaker–each one consists of six, seven-foot tall panels. Each Ultimate houses a total […]

If you have been out of the PC Hardware game for a bit, you may not have heard of Scythe before…but they have quickly and *quietly* (get it?) made a name for themselves with quality heatsinks and fans for your CPU’s. What started as giant towers has continued to evolve for all sorts of chassis, so here are a couple […]
Read moreAnother wonderful report here, this one from a single particular site versus an actual research report. But that being said, it does make sense which is why companies are always trying to get you to stick with the monthly charges–Netflix is still doing well, aren’t they? Home Media Mag Subscriptions for online video downloads generate 20 times the revenue and […]

If you are strictly using your system as an HTPC, I can’t imagine choosing this new bad boy over the wildly popular WD Green 2tb Drives, which run a bit slower but are also super quiet.

I guess this should be reassuring if you have the coin to afford one of the Lexicon Blu-ray players. Personally I find it insulting that it would not exist before, as then what would users be forced to do if new Blu-ray standards came out? Throw it away or send it in…ugh! SlashGear As well as playing Blu-ray, BD-Live, […]
Read moreGood news for you TiVo owners, as it continues to get one step closer to the HTPC world. It’s funny how TiVo not only has to be competing with DVR’s for their TV features, but also all the extra add-ins they throw in. Should be fun as everyone continues to up the ante. Zatz Not Funny Today, TiVo will enable […]

My buddy @GarryWMA posted this link to a youtube clip of the ZuneHD in action, when connected up to a big screen. It’s unclear to me how exactly this is tied into the Xbox360, but they did show the ZuneHD tile on the Xbox blades in the video. Here’s the video, but I’ll also post some pictures in case the […]
