- 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...

- eMachines T3626
- Of the super budget PCs currently available from mainstream retailers and Dell.com, the $399 eMachines T3626 is the second best deal available. We found a system from Acer that has more features for the money, but the eMachines edges that one out by offering a $50 rebate. If that deferred...

- eMachines T5234
- eMachines is merely treading water with its T-series line of fixed-configuration, budget PCs. The latest, the T5234, offers no improvement to last quarter's T5230 system. If anything, the T5234 represents a step back, using a slightly slower CPU than the model it replaces. The only upgrade to be found is...

- HP Compaq 2710p (Core 2 Duo 1.2GHz, 2GB RAM, 100GB HDD, Vista Business)
- Hewlett-Packard has struggled for years to find a way to define its dueling Compaq and HP brand names. The company tags its HP Pavilion systems as multimedia-friendly consumer devices, while the Compaq name is used for the company's line of business-oriented laptops and desktops (although some cheaper consumer desktops use...

- Dell Inspiron 531s
- The new Inspiron 531S is the slimmed-down desktop we've been waiting for from Dell. By finally offering a wireless networking adapter option, Dell lets this small PC preserve the tidy profile lacking in its past attempts at the category. Our $659 config, while a decent enough performer, doesn't distance itself...

- We'll make this quick. If you're considering the eMachines T5062, don't. Do yourself a favor and spend an additional $50 on the eMachines T5230. That extra bit of money buys you a lot more budget PC. The two systems are identical in outward appearance, and inside they nearly match component...

- eMachines T5230
- The $500 eMachines T5230 sits on the top-end of eMachines' new systems for the third quarter of 2007. It's also the strongest of the company's new batch of nonconfigurable, retail-only PCs--which you might imagine given that it's the most expensive of the bunch. Our major gripes are that it doesn't...
