Q. ...does not support PC formats?
I own the LCDTV Viewsonic(3235) and I would like to use this with a home theatre personal (HTPC) desktop computer for recording from TV and FM radio stations. I also want to use the (HTPC) desktop as a digital/analog TV tuner. Do I have to purchase any electronic parts in order to make the LCDTV and HTPC compatible?

A. Well, if I'm correct your lcd tv has a vga input. You can hook your computer up via this input. The only thing the tv will do is act as a monitor. It is not going to help you record anything.
For recording you will need a tv tuner card for your pc. A tv tuner will allow you to watch tv as well as record tv.
There are two types of tv tuner cards. There can be digital or analog. Digital can be used to get Over the Air(OTA) broadcasts which are HD resolutions. Analog cards are used to get regular broadcasting hooked up via cable tv or antenna.
There are many tv tuner cards available. A good start would be the ATI all in wonder cards.
I think there are some cards that have both a analog and a digital tuner in one card.
Here's one such card:

This should have you set in your HTPC.
Here's an article that will help you build a HTPC and what components you will need.

It might be a little over the top, but it's a general idea of what a HTPC should be capable of.

Whats a good gaming laptop or gaming desktop for around 1000-1300$?
Q. Im going to get some money Pretty soon and i want a good gaming laptop or desktop for FPS games. Im a hardcore gamer on the Consul and i want to take it to the PC just because i think it would be a better experience... Can anyone name and give me a link to a good gaming laptop or desktop?
A. You can try cyberpower PC http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Gamer_Xtreme_2000/ . This tower has 2x 6770 in SLI, an i5 2500K ( K for unlocked and overclock friendly), Asetek 510LC Liquid Cooling System with dual 120mm fans, 750watt PSU, Win 7 included and tons more. Within your budget at $1200.75. No need for the 2600K. If you were doing a ton of encoding & rendering maybe. but the 2500K is extremely powerful when it comes to gaming. This quad core 3.30 GHz gaming computer should work VERY well for you. Grand Total: $1,200.75 after 5% instant rebate and shipping. Yes Shogun 2 is included. I slapped this together in about 5 minutes. This is just to give you a general idea about them.
YEAH WHATEVER. THEN YOU ADD IN SHIPPING AND I HAVE TO GIVE AN ARM AND A LEG. Nope. This includes the shipping.
