What Do You Get The Guy Who Has Everything?

Different guys have different interests, but generally guys have an interest in some form of technology or another.  Computers are modern tools and tools and technology appeal to the male with regards to capability, and in some, the instinct to be a provider for a family and better one's family.

For the family and family entertainment, a KillaRad RadMedia HTPC is a great choice.  Assuming you already have an HDTV and a surround sound system, a home theater computer can integrate very nicely allowing you to: record, pause and archive digital cable TV, watch Blu-Ray movies, show off digital photos, and serve digital music in your living room or throughout the home.  Operated with a remote control, the RadMedia lets you buy music and rent movies online over the Internet.  If you want, you can pull out the wireless keyboard and mouse to play a PC game or look something up.  No other device allows you to do so much, so well, or so easily.

For sharp, state of the art gaming that surfs past the capabilities of game consoles, there's no beating a premium gaming PC from KillaRad Computers.  Our mission is to be the best in class value.  A GamerNova gaming PC with a fast Intel Core i7 processor and dual graphics cards is a sure winner for guys.  We all like a nice escape whether it's a book or a blockbuster movie.  PCs have been on the leading edge of interactive entertainment for over twenty years.  Whether you want the excitement of going on a special forces mission in games like Crysis, Medal of Honor, or Modern Warfare 2, or the thrill of battling zombie hordes with your friends in Left 4 Dead 2, the PC has the top action games.  Other games like Spore, SimCity, Civilization 5, World of Warcraft, Batman, Lego Star Wars, and a variety of sports games have a pan-generational appeal.

Like an HTPC is designed for the living room, a gaming PC is best at a desk in a den, a spare bedroom, or a home office, set up with headphones, or its own surround speaker system.

The hottest new technology today for both the home theater and the PC gaming scene debuted unforgettably a year ago with the cinematic release of James Cameron's Avatar in stereoscopic 3D.  By fooling the eyes you get more immersion believing that a two dimensional screen is a three dimensional window.  In the home theater this requires a new HDTV (typically 2010 or newer) with specific 3D technology built-in, with a set of 3D glasses that only work with that brand of TV.  That works for Blu-Ray 3D, certain 3D broadcast content, and PC games connected to the TV.  Otherwise for PC games, a PC oriented technology company, nVIDIA, has their own technology that works with nVIDIA brand glasses on select PC monitors.  This works for new LCD monitors that support a 120 Hertz refresh rate (maybe four available currently), however non-3D HDTV's that boast "120Hz" are not compatible.  For 3D in the home theater you can pair a RadMedia HTPC from KillaRad with a 3D TV and a glasses kit from your TV retailer.  For 3D on the desktop, KillaRad also offers a new 23-inch 3D capable monitor ($380) and an nVIDIA 3D Vision glasses kit ($199) to round out the package.  The PCs trend of increased realism and increased immersion lends to increased fun, and we hope you can have your share of fun through the holiday season and well beyond.

Happy Holidays and All the Best,
