- Velocity Micro ProMagix E2035
- Velocity Micro's newest, least-expensive Best Buy PC is not a great deal, it's merely an OK one. Aimed at the entry-level 3D gamer, the $1,499 ProMagix E2035 has most of the hardware needed to have a satisfying gaming experience.

- Cyberpower Gamer Ultra 8500 SE (AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000 )
- As usual, Cyberpower assembled a very attractive system for us to review. For the hardware alone, the Gamer Ultra 8500 SE is a steal at $999. Even if we don't love the case, anyone in the market for a budget gaming PC will be impressed, especially because the deal includes...

- eMachines T5212
- Our go-to pick for a true budget PC this summer has been the Cyberpower Back to School 2006. It delivers a dual-core CPU and 1GB of memory for $599; it'll burn DVDs; and Windows Vista, with its Aero effects, should give it little trouble, thanks to the discrete graphics card....

- PC Club Enpower Sabre EN-SB7
- We keep our expectations in check when looking at a budget PC. A $499 computer such as the PC Club Enpower Sabre EN-SB7 (the bundled 17-inch monitor brings the total to $739) shouldn't be expected to deliver much in the way of features and performance; all you can ask for...

- Polywell Poly 430AM2
- Polywell, a company whose high-end gaming and Media Center systems we're accustomed to seeing, has put together a basic box suitable for back-to-school shoppers, with the Polywell Poly 430AM2. This PC won't win any awards for design or performance, and at $1,350 (including a 19-inch LCD monitor and 5.1 speakers),...

- eMachines T6536
- Editors' note: Due to a subrating calculation error, the rating for this system has been updated since the time of its original posting.We first thought the $539 (after $50 mail-in rebate) eMachines T6536, the top of the budget vendor's Q3 2006 lineup, would easily score an 8.0 rating. Its predecessor,...

- Cyberpower Back to School 2006
- The perfect student computer is a lot like the perfect student car: functional, inexpensive, and easy to maintain. Cyberpower offers all manner of both preconfigured and totally customizable systems, usually at prices below more mainstream competitors'. The company's aptly named Back to School Super Value model ushers in a new...

- Alienware Aurora ALX (GeForce 7900 GX2 Quad SLI)
- Alienware is one of 13 desktop manufacturers partnered with Nvidia to sell PCs with four discrete graphics chips inside, ostensibly to deliver the highest of high-end 3D gaming power. Nvidia first announced this technology, called Quad SLI, back in January at the Consumer Electronics Show, by way of Dell's limited-edition...

- Cyberpower Gamer Ultra X1900 XT
- The Cyberpower Gamer Ultra X1900 XT is the first system we've tested that uses ATI's dual-graphics card CrossFire technology. This gaming PC offers seemingly infinite configuration options; our $3,499 review unit paired two Radeon X1900-series graphics cards with AMD's Athlon 64 FX-60 and included a wide-screen, 19-inch ViewSonic LCD and...

(3/17/06)CyberPower's tradition of building flashy gaming desktops in sleek, automotive-style, custom-color cases now extends to notebooks with its Xplorer line, which come in seven bright hues. Our fire-engine-red test model packed a nice feature set for $1,458.At first glance, the...

- Cyberpower Gamer Ultra 8500 SE
- PC gamers have to laugh when they hear people complaining about the prices of the next-generation Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game consoles. After all, a hard-core gamer can easily spend $3,000 or more on a fully equipped gaming rig. Luckily for those with more modest gaming budgets, Cyberpower offers...

- We've already written about Velocity Micro's lower-end Best Buy PC; now we take a look at the ProMagix E2230, a more ambitious $2,100 desktop. Like the less-expensive E2035, the higher-end E2230 combines a dual-core Intel CPU and a Nvidia graphics card to skew toward those looking for a decent gaming...

- HP Compaq Presario Media Center SR2050NX PC
- Six hundred nine dollars is too much to pay for a PC that uses a first-generation Intel dual-core CPU. Even after you mail in the $50 rebate, you're still paying too much for the HP Compaq Presario Media Center SR2050NX. CompUSA has it for a more reasonable $399 (after a...

- HP's Slimline Pavilion s7600e has a major advantage over previous incarnations of HP's small-form-factor design: a dual-core CPU. Thanks to AMD's new line of energy-efficient Athlon 64 X2 chips, HP can now compete with the Mac Mini as a powerful, feature-rich tiny PC. The Mac Mini has a size and...

- Apple Mac Mini Core Duo (1.66GHz)
- Given its price, Apple's most basic Mac Mini config (recently updated to a dual-core 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo CPU) belongs squarely in the budget category, but Apple's entry-level desktop is far from your typical budget PC. For comparison, we've included the Cyberpower Back to School 2006, and the eMachines T5212...
