Samsung LN-T5271F 52″ LCD Television

Cost: $3000 @ J&R

A 52″ LCD 1080p high definition television with a sexy black bezel, retina burning color and brightness. Exactly what the game doctor ordered.

Expect blissful gaming when you plug your PS3, Xbox 360 or Wii unti this fifty-two inch beaty.

HP Blackbird 002

Cost: $2500-$6000 @ HP

When HP snatched up Voodoo PC a while back everyone expected there to be a lackluster gaming product as the gaming pc manufacturer was merged into the corporate conglomerate. Well, to our relief, the machine has retained it’s pedigree status as a true gaming machine.

Coming with 2 GB of RAM, 480 GB hard drive, ATi Radeon HD 2900 XT Crossfire video cards, dual-layer DVD+/-RW, killer looks and a price tag approximately close to that of some engagement rings. But that doesn’t matter because you won’t want a wife if you’ve got this plugged in at home.

Comes with all accessories, including cue sticks, rack, chalk, dice, balls, and markers for all four games.
