1. Connect your Xbox 360 to two screens at once
If you’ve got one of the component/composite dual video cables – the one that comes in the box with most 360s – you can have your console display its gamey goodness on two TVs simultaneously.

One of the best features of the Xbox 360 is it’s ability to stream content from your computer to the console. Any Windows PC on the network can play movies, music, and tv shows over a network and on to your TV. Thanks to some great software, you can do this on your Mac as well – and it’s actually fairly easy.
