What do true computer geeks love more than hardware? Techie babes, of course! And one of the best places to find these hot giga-gals is the TechTV cable and satellite network. Several of TechTV's programs feature model-caliber tech-sperts who catch the eyes and hearts of viewers everywhere. These plugged-in girls-gone-wired are just the motivation millions of guys need to drop their optical mice and shift their attention to the boob tube for a few hours a night. Now in 43 million Nielsen homes, these women of TechTV enjoy the most rabid fan base of perhaps any network, if you judge by their popular blogs, copious fan sites, and endless waves of emails and IMs.

Now it is up to Playboy.com visitors to select their favorite TechTV personality? We've designed a feature with photos and a brief biography on each of the five nominees. Techie fans can vote in our "Geek Love" poll through Feb. 26. The results will be published on Friday, Feb. 27 and we will offer the Sexiest Babe of TechTV the opportunity to go "wireless" for her own Playboy.com pictorial.
