I think $270 is still too much, yes. As I said, the only things it's got going is the backlog on the virtual console, and the Wiimote. That alone, isn't worth that amount of money to me. If it had more HTPC features, it would be more appealing. But $270 for a few decent games and a new control system seems overkill to me.
Not I :) , found it in a book.... mathematics for 3d game programming and computer graphics Eric Lengyel page 270 (IIRC he did a method for generating tangent space vectors)
I am a little pissed that my TI3 courier still has no particle effect even with 270 games watched on the list. wonder if they deliver like promise this time.
I've seen mITX cases that barely hit 70C, they can be cooled as efficiently as a full tower and be just as quiet as long as you have a decent case. Also if this is right, I don't know how you could make a cheaper PC yourself CyberPowerPC - $499 and up CPU - AMD/Intel Core i5 CPU Graphics - AMD Radeon R9 270/Nvidia GTX 760…
