How "low cost" is $866 is beyond me, but GearDigest seems to think so, and their Day2 build will be a high end system which I can only imagine how much it's going to cost. Oh, and for $866, you get a 200gb hard drive, and that's to store HD shows as well…it's just baffling. Maybe someone else can make […]
Read moreI just got an interesting email from the support folks at Auzentech that I thought might be worth sharing. This is the first I've seen of sound card manufacturers discussing a timeline for supporting HDMI (real full bandwidth HDMI, not just SPDIF pass-through).

Well, unfortunately if you're not in Australia this is kind of pointless, but I think it's good to see what companies are coming up with to compete with each other. Multifunction devices like this always concern me, as I feel a lot of times they make compromises. But then again, for $1500…is this that much more powerful than an HTPC? […]
Read moreOne of the developers of ReplayTV was kinda sorta put in the situation to go a year without a DVR and see how his life would be affected. I can't disagree more with his assessment that the main thing he misses is the guide. If my MCE goes down, I'm close to tears having to sit through all those commercials, […]
Read moreYou can check out this Engadget Post for a round-up of HD 2000 reviews. It kind of came out to a very loud fart for the gaming crowd and a little bit worse for the HTPC crowd. While the video capabilities do look good, the mid-range cards are not due out for another month and a half. For a little […]

Read moreNot nearly as many pictures as I would have included…but I guess how many pictures of a projector do you really need? Another 1080p projector up for review, this time from the Home Theater Blog guys, which they definitely like. Home Theater Blog While I won't go into exhaustive comparisons between the DLA-HD1 and the last two 1080p projectors I've […]
Read moreEngadget was pretty fired up about this article from the Consumerist, but I don't see it as being nearly as obscenely priced when you think about it. How much would it cost to take a family of 4 to a movie these days? $12 per ticket is $48. Plus popcorn, drinks, candy, and you're EASILY over $50. Consider you have […]
