Build It: The $800 Gaming PC
Running the latest and greatest games without compromise is one of the most strenuous
and expensive tasks for a PC. We try to defy expectations by building a decent gaming
PC for only $800.

How to Use a Multimonitor Display
If you've got a second monitor sitting around, maybe it's time to hook it up to your

Super-Sized HDTV: Samsung's 46-Inch LT-P468W
Most electronics aspire to get smaller--not so with HDTVs. The only thing sweeter than
a big picture is an even bigger picture. Samsung's LT-P468W is the largest shipping
LCD-based HDTV on the market. We put it through our rigorous video obstacle
course, and liked most of what we saw.
