Tony, Here is one from IBM with some interesting capabilities (you can watch the FL Supreme Court Hearing on it, had to keep on topic): Forbes.com Ten O'Clock Tech: A PC That Loves TV By Arik Hesseldahl Possibly one of the most intriguing developments in television-viewing technology in the last few years is the personal video recorder. With a huge hard disk drive not unlike one found inside a PC, products like Tivo and ReplayTV let viewers record programs on the fly and pause programs in progress whenever needed. Now IBM (NYSE: IBM - news) has added the same functionality into its NetVista desktop PC line. As one of the first PCs to hit the market with an Intel (Nasdaq: INTC - news) Pentium 4 processor inside it, running at speeds of 1.4 and 1.5 gigahertz, the NetVista A60 and A60i are PCs that aren't satisfied just sitting in the den. They're capable of storing 45 GB of data, enough for 63 hours of video. An even bigger 75 GB drive is available as an option and can hold up to 100 hours of video. What makes the PC work like a personal video recorder (PVR) box is the All-in-Wonder card from graphics chip company ATI (Nasdaq: ATYT - news). Like the PVR boxes, the card will let you pause a live TV show--say a football game--while it's in progress so you can run for a snack or take a phone call. While the picture freezes, the PC will record the video of the game to its hard drive, letting you pick up where you left off without having to miss any of the action. It's also good at recording programs you like on a regular basis. If you love soap operas but have a day job, this PC can help you keep up on the ongoing story. It will also play DVD video discs either on its stock monitor or on an attached TV. An nVidia (Nasdaq: NVDA - news) GeForce graphics card will add life to games. Starting at $2,199, it comes with options like a DVD-RAM drive for $489, an 18-inch CRT monitor for $369, or an 18-inch flat panel monitor for $2,699. Launched only six months ago, IBM's NetVista line accounts for about 75% of its desktop PC sales in only six months. Not bad for a company whose chief executive declared less than two years ago that the era of the PC is over. Go to www.forbes.com to see all of our latest stories.
