Digital Home DIY: Step-by-step guides that make home tech projects easy
Play PC games on a TV
Computers are making their way into the living rooms and dens of average Americans, offering email, the web, and loads of multimedia functionality on an interface you can read from the couch. But for gamers that's just not enough. What the editors say

Bigger is better.
That 65-inch DLP in the living room can eat 5 or 10 of your Dell 19-inch LCD computer monitors for lunch. Try playing a few rounds of Battlefield 2 with life-size squadmates and really big guns, and you'll see what we mean.2
Couches are comfortable.
If those hours spent hunched over a monitor in your computer desk seem an awfully lot like being at work, maybe it's time for a new pose. With a wireless mouse and keyboard hooked up to your multimedia PC, you can sprawl on the couch like a pro.3
It's all about the graphics.
Yes, next-generation consoles are supposed to challenge PCs for graphical superiority, but PCs will always be more versatile and upgradeable. And for now, they still provide the highest-res, best-looking graphics out there. What you say
