EA to sell Crysis Warhead branded PCs
Can your PC run Crysis? If you keep your hardware up to date, then it's possible that you can run it fairly well at the lowest, or possibly even medium settings.

Creative Fatal1ty X-Fi USB Headset
I remember back in the day when the name Fatal1ty was just first being heard around the internets. This was some kid that was making a real name for himself in the professional gaming world by dominating in Quake III Arena, and going on to win (or place very well) in dozens of professional tournaments.

I remember back when I first installed a second graphics card in my gaming rig. I thought that I had achieved greatness. Of course these days it's not all that uncommon to find multiple GPUs in a gaming system (be it on a single card, or separate ones), however, I can't say that I've ever heard of 16 GPUs running in a single system. That is until I heard about a few MIT grads that decided to do just that.
