		<description><![CDATA[A silent PC is one that makes absolutely no noise, and by necessity has no moving parts (including fans). Such systems usually use very low-end hardware limited to trivial tasks such as running a cash register. The system introduced today, a Solid-State PC (SSPC) is a powerful quad-core i5 PC which runs most software faster than the majority of modern PCs, yet uses [...]]]></description>

Unlike speaker cables, an HDMI cable of a recent spec (like HDMI version 1.3) and of a reasonable length either works or it doesn&#8217;t. But it may not be that simple. My desktop computer  is connected to an HDTV [...]]]></description>

TechReport just reviewed one of the first mini-ITX NVIDIA Ion platform solutions from Zotac which involves an NVIDIA 9300 graphics [...]]]></description>
