- Dell Studio Desktop
- With its new Studio Desktop, Dell finally brings its mainstream desktop line into the 64-bit era. The glossy black midtower PC presents little in the way of innovative design, but by offering the 64-bit version of Windows Vista, Dell now competes on even footing with HP, Gateway, and other vendors...

- HP Pavilion Elite m9300t
- At its core, our $1,100 HP Pavilion Elite m9300t review unit is a reasonably priced example of HP's midrange desktop. It gives you about $900 worth of basic computer, and an extra $200 in home theater-style extras. The good news is that this system is configurable, so if, like us,...

- Gateway DX4200-UB001A
- We didn't love Gateway's new FX4710 performance desktop because it sacrificed extra features (say, a faster 3D card?) for the sake of plumping its memory specs. We felt the same trepidation with the $750 DX4200, but the fact is that this desktop is the best-equipped mainstream midtower on the...

- Dell Inspiron 518
- The Inspiron 518 is a welcome update to Dell's traditional, mainstream desktop line. Basic configurations start at $399, although our $784 review unit is a competitive showcase of some of Dell's more advanced configuration options. We wish Dell sold this system with 64-bit Windows Vista, as competing mainstream PCs from...

- ZT Affinity 7225Xi-35
- The $750 ZT Affinity 7225Xi-35 is a fairly ambitious lower-midrange PC. This fixed configuration includes a lower-end quad-core chip, 4GB of memory, and a discrete graphics card. The result is solid everyday performance, and if you need a basic, capable desktop, this system will serve. Its lack of 64-bit Windows...

- Apple iMac (24-inch, 2.8Ghz)
- The 24-inch iMac's striking design and impressive performance compare favorably to its smaller 20-inch sibling. In addition to a larger screen size, the 24-inch model offers higher-end configuration options and, of course, a higher price tag. The 24-inch iMac comes in two standard configurations. The $1,799 system includes a 2.4GHz...

- HP Pavilion Elite m9040n
- HP's Pavilion Elite m9040n frustrates us because, but for a seemingly greedy design decision, we actually like it quite a bit. This $1,190 desktop comes with a quad core chip and a cleaner profile than older HP desktops, thanks to its integrated remote-control receiver and wireless networking antenna. Our issue...

- Apple Mac Mini (2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)
- At the same time it revamped its iMac, Apple also more quietly updated its smaller-scale Mac Mini desktops, adding a faster Intel Core 2 Duo processor in place of the old Core Duo chips. The result is more or less competitive performance compared to similar Windows PCs. The problem is...

- Velocity Micro Vector GX Campus Edition (overclocked Core 2 Duo E6320)
- Velocity Micro made a name for itself by turning out custom-crafted, finely tuned, high-end desktops, a few of which it has slipped into Best Buy and, more recently, Circuit City. The company found success by occupying the middle ground between ludicrously expensive PCs from gaming boutiques and cookie-cutter systems from...

- 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...
