We're joined this week by Jim from Platinum Home Theaters

News: Indy Jones Drops Out, Monster Cable just can't stop suing people.

Paramount stops piracy by stomping all over your $7 movie ticket...but no, I didn't notice it. Still, wait for the DVD if you want an experience worth your money.

Monster Cable, aka Goons and Bullies, beside making overpriced cables, can also lay down a heck of a frivolous lawsuit. Kurt from Blue Jean Cables spanked them hard, but their latest victims, Monster Mini Golf, may not be so lucky. Boycott Monster, get more for your Home Theater $$, and don't support starving out the little guy.

Product Showcase: JBL Control NOW and Tranquil PC

Remember...spending money on new gear isn't usually the answer. Unless you've set everything up properly and treated your room, you don't need new speakers.

JBL Control Now

Pizza Shaped Speakers that tuck into corners or hang like a ceiling fan. Cool.

Tranquil PC Atom based Computers

A fanless (dead quiet) HTPC that uses the same amount of electricity as a 100W Energy Saving Lightbulb? Can I get it for less than $400? Yes I can.

Get one that looks like an HT component here.

Get more info on My PC vs. The Popcorn Hour and what it costs to run your Home Theater.

Buy your own Killawatt and find out how much your HT costs to run.
