SageTV Home Theater PC Takes on Windows Media Center
Before Windows Media Center Edition came Sage TV. The venerable front end to

Big, Bad, Behemoth Alienware Laptop
If you thought your old laptop was a dinosaur, in terms of size, take a look at
this beast. Too large to be called a laptop, the Area-51M 7700 is a portable
desktop replacement and quite a delicacy.
