well thing is for PCs you can mod games

in particular sports games update jereys rosters graphics etc where on a console its outdaded in a month or to fix bugs

but as busyman said a big TV is the big let down for PC and my big TV is in my room wheres theres no room left and couldnt move everything around to play PC games... or whatever

as for Halo 2 only playing on vista FUCK THAT. that rules me out that OS is a piece of shit are they kidding to only bring out a game to play on Vista?

You can set up your HDTV as a monitor with a HDMI-DVI cable. Absolute piss of piece, took me longer to walk up the road to buy the cable than to get it all working. My 7.1 speakers were also set up with no real effort (though lots of wires needed to be hidden).

I have a gamepad for games like Prince of Persia and a second wireless set-up for playing FPS games properly. Though if Crabgirl is in watching Ugly Betty or somesuch nonsense then I'm quite happy with the monitor.

Plus, the graphics in the pc version will be better than you ever dreamed of on console.

I always though they did a poor job with the graphics on the first one, it was almost like a straight port. That was three graphics cards ago for me and it didn't even faze that old card. I expect the graphics will be better with a high-end PC for Halo 2 because you'll be able to whack up the settings but I doubt it'll be groundbreaking.

Still, I'll think I'll wait until something like Crysis comes out before installing Vista (and even then I'm going to need a new card, my 1800XT is starting to look dated).

Well I know how to set it up but I have a 65" HDTV in this

I don't wanna put a tower around that shit. I needz a small pc to just put on a shelf with my consoles and AV gear.

Cables aren't a problem. I just get them from monoprice.com and they cost absolute shit. I got extra DVI-to-DVI and HDMI-DVI cables lying around cuz they were dirt cheap.

I also ran a coupla wired ethernet jacks downstairs from my router. I don't use wireless unless necessary.

Oh and btw, wifey watches Ugly Betty too but I'm to blame for that. I never watched it but I told her that critics said it was a good show.

Luckily she keeps her ass out of the male area downstairs (no pun intended).
