Moneual Labs is no stranger to unusual PC cases - their I*magine HTPC grabbed a CES Innovation award back in 2008 - and while the new Dual Screen PC (DSPC) case might have a more traditional basic form-factor, we're liking the huge integrated display. Details are scant - all Moneual says is that the DSPC is "a tower‐type slim PC case with a built-in screen for use in dual-screen mode with a standard monitor" - but it doesn't take much to realise that this would make for an awesome HTPC setup.

How the iPad is becoming my new favorite home-entertainment device
It’s not often that I sing the praises of a single product. Most times, I use several different devices to do what I want. Whether that means listening to music, computing, or watching television, it doesn’t matter. If I want to do it, chances are, several devices will be needed to get the job done.
But as I continue to use my launch-day iPad, it’s becoming clear that all my hopes for an all-in-one device have finally been realized. Apple’s lightweight tablet is quickly becoming my go-to entertainment device for those times when I want to surf the Web, check my e-mail, watch a quick movie, or catch up on a favorite show. It simply provides everything I need in my house in one small package that makes just about everything else unnecessary.

Check out the SlashGear review after the cut.
