- iBuyPower Value 640
- It's not as trim and tidy as the Shuttle XPC X200M, nor does the iBuyPower Value 640 house as many features. This Vista-based home-theater PC provides better performance at a lower price, however, and it allows for easy upgrades--an important fact given the sparse configuration of our $1,001 review unit....

- eMachines T5226 - Pentium D 925 3GHz
- The only significant difference between the eMachines T5224 we reviewed earlier in the year and the new T5226 is the CPU. The newer $550 T5226 has a 3.0GHz Intel Pentium D 925 dual-core processor, a slight uptick over the older Intel chip in the T5224. And while we like eMachines'...

- Hewlett-Packard's new Pavilion SlimLine s3020n PC comes bearing HP's new glossy black vision for all of its PCs and laptops. We've long complained that HP gray was only a few boring steps removed from old-school desktop beige, and we're glad to see HP took some steps to make its PCs...

- You'll find HP's Pavilion a1740n on stores shelves at Best Buy, Circuit City, and other large PC retailers. We suggest you leave it there. The street price of this PC is roughly $850, depending on in-store rebates and other discount offers. Dell offers a much more compelling Dimension E521 for...

- Polywell Poly 690G-5200
- Polywell's low to midrange Poly 690G-5200 sounds like a decent desktop for the money. It's got a better-than-average dual core AMD processor, AMD's brand new 690G chipset, and it only costs $899. Its unassuming case neither offends nor impresses, and even though its performance lags a bit considering its specs,...

- eMachines T5224
- The eMachines T5224 is the first true budget-class PC we've seen with Windows Vista on it. We mostly like what we've seen so far, but we can't help but wonder what would happen if Gateway/eMachines took better advantage of AMD's aggressive chip pricing. This $580 PC (before $50 rebate) comes...

- WinBook PowerSpec T470
- By itself, WinBook's new PowerSpec T470 looks like a strong-enough machine for Windows Vista Home Premium. If it came in around $800 or so, we'd be happy with its overall price performance, too. The problem is that at $999, it's too close in price to the faster Dell Dimension E521....

- Dell Dimension E521
- Most of the hardware behind Dell's midrange Dimension E521 isn't that new. What is exciting is that Dell now offers it with Windows Vista Home Premium. The Dimension E521 in general is a typically customizable Dell PC, and the $1,029 configuration we received demonstrates that if you pick the right...
