- ZT Affinity 7221Xa
- The $600 ZT Affinity 7221Xa is the cheaper sibling of the recently reviewed ZT Affinity 7225Xi-35. Its fixed configuration includes most of what we expect to find in a system in this price range. Like the 7225Xi-35, the 7221Xa is geared toward those who need a simple desktop with basic...

- Velocity Micro Vector Campus Edition
- We normally have good things to say about Velocity Micro's Campus Edition back-to-school desktops. This year's model, the $999 Vector Campus Edition, leaves us disappointed because of its uninspired configuration. We still find Velocity Micro's desktop design among the best in the industry, and this system's visual appeal and...

- AMD Phenom gets (a little) faster
- AMD has rounded out both the high and low ends of its desktop processor line with three new Phenoms. Though the chips have the same basic design, they are targeted at very different audiences by virtue of frequency, power consumption and price. The Phenom X4 9950 Black Edition--now AMD's fastest...

- Gateway FX7026
- Continuing in their line of desktop computers with quad-core processors, the Gateway FX7026 offers a loaded computer that can go head-to-head with other high end gaming and media heavy machines. The $1,099 price tag is more than fair for the amount of high performance features and comparable to a similar...

- Gateway FX541XT
- Gateway's FX541XT occupies a strange gaming PC middle ground. At $3,500, it's not in the same price category as high-end PCs such as Dell's XPS 730 H2C, but it's also about $2,000 more than the emergent $1,500 gaming desktop we've seen this year, most recently in the Maingear Prelude....

- Gateway GT5674
- The Gateway GT5674 is the second mainstream desktop we've reviewed with a quad-core processor, following the Acer Aspire M5100 we tested in March. We've seen our share of high-end, high-priced gaming boxes with quad-core CPUs recently, but this technology has quickly trickled down to much more affordable desktops for mainstream...

- Maingear Prelude (AMD Phenom X4 9850)
- Maingear's AMD midrange Prelude desktop clearly has the Dell XPS 630 in its sights. The Prelude is faster almost across the board and at $1,499 it's less expensive. Our only reservation is with its interior. The Prelude case is very attractive on the outside, but to achieve its unique,...
