Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
perfectstorm: exactly. this gets a giant "yawn" from me. someone wake me up when we get a "home theater card" that will send both the audio & video over HDMI.
CC,
This is me waking you up. This home theater card does exactly that.
This card handles all of your audio processing.
Your video card handles all of your video processing.
You run your video card into this card then ONE HDMI cable from this card to your TV or Receiver.
