The Atom C.5 loudpseaker is the lowest priced member of the Paradign monitor series. Not to say they are cheap, it will still cost over $800 to outfit a complete home theater. The monitor series is known for their high efficiency which suggest they should play louder with less power. I was pretty surprised to see the reviewer rave about […]

It's not fair, the author of the Onkyo review used my trickle down tech intro. Ok, it's not mine, however, it is true that budget receivers have many features that only a year or two ago would have cost you a great deal more. Feature wise, at least in my opinion, the Onkyo gets it right. They include an automated […]

I think it's great that Mac's are slowly becoming more adopted as HTPCs. I don't think they'll ever truly take off strictly due to the lack of DIY ability, and the high cost. BUT, that doesn't mean there can't be some nice stuff/designs from that world. Check out some of the latest updates to the Mac-only Itheater: Wii Remote support […]

Ahh, nothing like a good old battle of the death to get your morning going. The bad part is, function wise TiVo is already ahead of the game. Having a close boxed system means you can get a lot the functionality such as CableCard support you simply can't get in an open source system such as MythTV. However, if you […]

We posted our review of the diNovo Edge a little while ago and although it had its faults, we found it to be a pretty capable keyboard. Although, it is hard to justify spending $200 on a keyboard. They have very similar thoughts as we do. Sexy.. Sexy.. Sexy.. but expensive and the trackpad is a touch annoying. From the […]

So you just took advantage of some of the great deals out there for some dual core (or heck, quad core) cpus & motherboards. You took the time, carefully planned, and then assembled your full system. Then you go to make your purchase of Windows Vista, only to be faced with the decision: Should I buy the x86 (32-bit version) […]
Read moreSoo? As the title hints at.. What games do you play? I remember grinding out many of a level on WOW early on in my addiction. Of course, as my addiction grew, the relaxed nature of playing just wasn't cutting. I played a few other games but never really got into the gaming end of things after that. I suppose […]
