Whether it's making movies or watching them, this grad loves good sound, pro-quality video gear, and a high-end editing station. Your grad is out to capture the moments, edit them into a masterpiece, and burn them to an action-packed DVD. Failing that, though, a good home-theater setup will keep him or her happily watching other people's flicks.

Just because your grad wants a new HDTV doesn't mean he or she has to sacrifice artistic integrity. The 32PF9996 performs well, and the Ambilight feature will make the grad's pad even more entertaining.

WinBook's excellent Media Center PC is two gifts in one. Your grad will get a fully functioning Windows PC that doubles as a TiVo. Don't let your grad's first job interfere with his or her daytime soaps.
