    Do you have a HDTV?

    Just go buy a Western Digital TV Live box. This runs $99, has about 28 apps (Most smart TV's have about 10) and it will hook to your wireless network and let you stream audio and video from your PC, laptops, etc.

    If you do decide on a 'smart' TV - look very carefully. They do not do all the things you think they might so make sure you know what you are buying. The little media server box's are cheaper and better.

    Hope this helps.

    $2400 for that? What a ripoff! you should truthfully build an equivalent for 2/3 that fee and trim away pointless crap. i7 2600k? ineffective in gaming over an i5 2500k, that's $one hundred much less. SLI on an 1155 board? no longer the appropriate thought considering which you will the two be working each and every at 8x PCIe or you're bridging them with an NForce 200 chip, which reasons microstutters. Get a extra effective single card. Hell, at that fee, you should get a GTX 590 or a Radeon 6990 and get much extra proper overall performance. 16GB of RAM? What the HELL? What a thoroughly pointless fee! 8GB of RAM is already way extra desirable than sufficient for gaming. 16GB is completely wasted. 1100w potential furnish? lower back, entire overkill. you should circulate with a single GTX 580 and a 650w potential furnish or a 6990/590 and a 750w potential furnish and do exactly superb. This laptop is a substantial waste of money for gaming. Johnathan, in case you think of that Intel would not furnish an benefit over AMD in gaming then you certainly actually could desire to lookup some benchmarks on Sandy Bridge. AMD gets their butts handed to them.
