- Shuttle KPC K-4800
- We liked Shuttle's $230 KPC K-4500 PC mostly because it was one of the cheapest complete desktops around. This higher-end model is a different story. We should qualify "higher end," because the Shuttle KPC K-4800 still starts at $299. But at that price, it's closing in on standard Windows PC...

But just as the 2008 Yankees are still an above .500 team, the Slimline s3500f is still...

- Shuttle XPC P2 4800X
- Shuttle says that the idea of its tiny XPC P2 4800X gaming PC is to compete with the Falcon Northwest FragBox 2. We suggest that Shuttle head back to the lab. The chief hallmark of this $3,200 configuration is its Intel X48 chipset and its Core 2 Extreme QX9650 processor....

Well, near the top, right under the Nissan GT-R. Our desires for the car weren't diminished when we...

- The "As close to $150 as you can get it" PC
- As usual, my mailbox is brimming with great comments and questions from Hardware 2.0 readers. Here's one that caught my eye: I notice that you talk about building PCs regularly. If you wanted to build a PC but spend as close to $150 as possible, what components would you...

- 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan S
- Photo gallery:2009 Volkswagen Tiguan SOne of the first things we noted about the 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan S is its similarity to Volkswagen's hot hatch, the GTI MkV. Both vehicles have 200 horsepower 2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines. Both have about the same amount of passenger space and a similar wheelbase and...

- Sony Vaio JS190J (silver)
- Finally, a Windows-based all-in-one earns our admiration. We've seen new all-in-one PCs from Hewlett-Packard and Averatec this year, and Apple also refreshed its popular iMac. None of them deliver as much in the way of features and performance as Sony's new, $1,499 Vaio JS190J. A full-size desktop processor helps make...

What we find is that the most affordable iMac has the usual content-creation strengths...

- Gateway DX4200-UB001A
- We didn't love Gateway's new FX4710 performance desktop because it sacrificed extra features (say, a faster 3D card?) for the sake of plumping its memory specs. We felt the same trepidation with the $750 DX4200, but the fact is that this desktop is the best-equipped mainstream midtower on the...
