- 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....

- AVADirect's newly updated Core 2 Duo SLI system comes with a $3,600 price tag and a lot to like for a gaming PC. This particular configuration also has a few problems with it, mainly a dual-core rather than a quad-core CPU, as well as a seizure-inducing front-panel fan controller. You...

- Sony VAIO XL3 Digital Living System
- Sony's VAIO XL3 Digital Living System is a welcome improvement to previous versions of Sony's high-end home theater PC.

- AVADirect Core 2 Duo SLI
- Unlike many vendors submitting their first system to us for a review, AVA Direct didn't try to blow the doors off our benchmarks.
