The best PSU you can’t buy? Perhaps. SPCR seems to think this is the best PSU right now when it comes to both efficiency and noise. Sadly, they also noted that it’s still unavailable in the US, even 4 or 5 months after its announcement. Ironically, I’m in the market for a PSU and would love to pick one of […]
Read moreSeems like a ton of podcasts this week, maybe it’s just my being tired and seeing so many 🙂 Enjoy! Is Lending Disks Illegal? Turn day into night in your living room.

According to people familiar with the company’s plans, a 3TB Constellation ES drive with a 6Gbit/s SAS interface will arrive later this year.

There’s a video of it in action, but it’s not of the highest quality to see everything. Still, seems like a cool idea. Shenzhen Feishu Technology has introduced the Fly Mouse Cordless Air Mouse / Keyboard […]
Read moreAny article with "WTF" in the title has to be good. When it’s the HD Guru looking at what a display has to go through to get THX certified, and what that means – even better. THX certification assures buyers a high quality high definition display. TV makers can’t pass the rigid specifications by using low quality LCD or […]
Read moreRumors of a native Media Center driver for the HD PVR have been circulating since before Fiji. As we all know that never happened – talking about the driver here, Fiji just shouldn’t have happened ;).

Read moreThese are some drool inspiring home theaters which EH has awarded out. All of these are well out of my budget, but a man can dream can’t he?! Ultimately, 43 winning installations were awarded in 15 categories, some of which are showcased throughout the May/June issue of Electronic House magazine.

Read moreI think any time Google gets involved it’s for the better of competition. Not sure this will have an effect on the HTPC crowd since it appears more geared for set top boxes, but still it’s an intriguing prospect having a giant like them compete with the standard Comcasts of the world. The technology—designed to open set-top boxes, TVs […]
Read moreNot technically an HTPC case, but no reason it couldn’t work as one. Pretty sleek if you were to put this in the corner of your entertainment shelf.
