Well I just recieved a sweet new product for my HD Big Screen and Bose System and thought that I would share it with you. </bragging> I'm not sure how you could use these with a computer, But I think they would make a nice addition to a Media PC. ^^

I took some pictures, but they weren't very good quality. So I'll link you instead.

Monster THX Ultra Component Video 1000 (http://www.monstercable.com/THX/productPagePicture.asp?pin=1718)

Now to read off the goods!

Patented 8-Cut Turbine RCA Connector
For maximum signal transfer and secure connection that won't vibrate.

Silver Content Solder Connections
Accurate transfer of delicate low-level signals for improved high frequency response.

Heavy Duty Strain Relief
Prevents connector damage caused by heavey use.

24k Gold Contact Split-Tip Center Pin
Provides a durable, corrosion-resistant connection with greater contact pressure.

Monster THX Home Theater Color Coding
For easy, error free hookup.

Full Coverage Double Shielding
100% foil and 95% copper braid metal-to-metal sheild rejects outside noise and signal interference.

Nitrogen Injected Dielectric
High velocity of propagation for maximum signal strength even over long runs.

Silver Coated Conductor
Improved high frequency response and ultra-low attenuation for superior performance.

Hooking these up was a breeze. As long as you can tell the difference between Green and Blue, a monkey could of installed this product. Once everything was connected, which took around 3 minutes, I decided to put them to the test. The picture quality was noticeably better when comparing a regular S-Video cable and then switching to the Monster THX certified cables. Sitting back to watch "Lord of the Rings" was awesome to say the least.

My only regret with the purchase of this product, is that I didn't buy it's equal in Audio. But with a Bose System hooked up, even my standard audio cables did the job just fine. ;)

If you want to utilize HD, then I recommend these cables by Monster. IF you can afford them that is. The current price for the 4ft version is around $80-$120. As far as cables go, I rate these at a very respectable 10/10 for performance, design, and quality in all areas.

Now all I need is a good La-Z-Boy chair and a bucket of popcorn. :up:

..I have always wanted to do a Tim-the-Toolman-Taylor power upgrade on that chair. Why walk to the bathroom, when you can have your chair launch you there...
