HTPC Media Cases with Touch Screens

When building a HTPC, I find getting a nice looking case is always a problem!  It is hard to find something that looks good on paper, and in your TV stand.  I have built some HTPCs with Antec Cases, but I have always wanted to get my hands on a Moneual MonCaso case.  Just look [...]

Tom’s hardware HTPC with Windows 7 Media Center

Chris Angelini at Tom’s Hardware has posted a follow up article to his original HTPC post with a beta of Windows7.  His first post was popular with many questions that he created this article as a follow up. Chris used AMD’s Maui platfrom as his HTPC, this is some serious HTPC hardware, one of the [...]

How to reduce the noise of your Harddisk

The bain of any HTPC is the noise the computer makes.  No it’s speed or power, but the noise for me is the biggest problem with any computer.  In my case, i have a Western Digital 74gb 10,000 RPM drive, which is great for speed, but when it is working hard, i hear the head [...]

Tom’s Hardware tests 9 new Keyboards

The hardest part for me when it comes to creating a good HTPC Media Center is how to control it.  I haven’t found a good solution yet that is worth it.  I have always liked the Logitech DiNovo Mini, but it’s price is my biggest hurtle.  With the amount of time i watch TV, i [...]

Longest running Pre-order for Duke 4 cancelled

This is sort of a joke from the awful news i posted earlier about 3D Realms closing. The game has been in development probably soon after Duke Nukem 3d was released in 1996.  That makes it 12 years since the game has been in development ‘hell’. There were 3 teasers, and many photos released through out [...]

Duke Nukem developer 3D Realms closes its doors.

Duke Nukem 3d is one of my favorite all time top 5 games.  I remember enjoying the long nights playing the single player game back in high school.  And then there was the deathmatch with friends other nights. You have got to love the Jet pack.  It was revolutionary, there were so many interactive parts of [...]
