Electronic House's "Budget" Gift Ideas

Budget gifts are dependent on your perspective of "budget"... Electronic House focuses generally on high-end home theaters that include special additions and every imaginable accoutrement, which we love daydreaming about.

However, they have 4 gift recommendations for under $200 because not everyone can afford to get a 50" plasma TV; one includes SageTV Media Center 6.2, shown in the screen shot above, for $80.

SageTV turns any PC into a media PC by allowing users to watch, record and control live TV, as well as stream music and watch TV anywhere you have an internet connection, making your PC much like a Slingbox and then some.

Their other recommendations? eStarling's Wireless Digital Photo Frame, for $199; the InGrid Home Protection Starter Kit, a $199 (with one-year subscription) home security starter kit; and the Ion Audio USB Turntable, for $199, which allows you to play and record your vinyl.
