Xbox 360 HD-DVD is the cheapest PC HD-DVD drive

LEGIT REVIEWS POSTED its experience in using Toshiba's HD-DVD drive for Microsoft's Xbox 360 console as a PC drive. It used HD2600XT card to get accelerated 1080p and there is one thing that is sure… PC can more than well serve as an HTPC machine. Plus, it comes with HDMI as well, not unlike all Xboxes before Elite kicked in.

24" monitors are becoming the flavour of the year when it comes to price and size ratio, and Benq 's own FP241VW got reviewed over at OverClockersClub. While there are some deficiencies over classical 5:4 19-inch size displays, nobody can disagree that games and movies will never look the same again.

Hardware Logic came out with its review of Thermalright's HR-03 Plus, a video card cooler for G80 chips. This is a passive, 410g heavy monster heatsink, but is it a worthy replacement for your 8800 series card or not?

XFX 8600GT Fatal1ty got an outing over at Bjorn3D. Interesting modification of already known mainstream card, but does 8600GT has enough horsepower to pull latest and greatest games?
