- 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...

- 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...

- WinBook PowerSpec 7501
- Like many $999 and under PCs this year, WinBook's PowerSpec 7150 aims for a bare-essentials sweet spot, combining an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and a discrete graphics card into an affordable Windows Vista-ready desktop. At its core, its configuration is almost identical to the Velocity Micro Vector GX Campus...

- 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 Pavilion Media Center a1640n
- We wish that HP would update the visual design of its PCs, because the gray plastic box is only a shade or two removed from the bleak sea of beige we thought we left behind five years ago. Case color aside, when you head to the store and find HP's...

- Dell Dimension C521
- After so much buildup, you might think that the Dell Dimension C521 would make a more dramatic entrance. It is, after all, one of the first two Dell consumer desktops to include a processor from AMD. But rather than rolling out the new partnership at the top of the desktop...

- Lenovo ThinkCentre A60
- Even with the current round of ThinkCentre PCs, Lenovo has yet to cast off the final remnants of the IBM name. The logo of the brand's former owner is still stamped onto the cases of Lenovo's desktops, along with the familiar ThinkCentre name. Designed for small and medium-size businesses, our...

Systemax is essentially the house brand for TigerDirect, a large online retailer of tech products, and the company offers a wide variety of both fixed-config and configurable PCs. The Systemax...

- Velocity Micro is something of a rarity in the world of performance PCs--a boutique vendor that has managed to gain a foothold on the mainstream retail market without excessively stripping down its products. The $1,299 ProMagix E2010 is the least expensive of a handful of fixed-configuration Velocity Micro systems you...

- HP Compaq Presario SR1910NX
- We'd like to thank HP and its $400 Compaq Presario SR1910NX for helping us illustrate an important point: the gap between a $400 PC and the $600 PC is a wide one. If you're considering a budget PC purchase and can find a way to make the extra $200 leap,...

- HP Pavilion Slimline s7500y
- HP is getting better at small-form-factor computing. We liked the original HP Pavilion Slimline s7220n and its successor, the s7320m, despite their wimpy notebook processors and lack of configuration options. Now HP tries it again, with the $830 (after a $50 mail-in rebate) HP Pavilion Slimline s7500y. The new system,...

- Shuttle XPC X100
- If the Shuttle XPC X100 had come out back in February when it was first announced, we'd be pretty excited. But finally shuffling into view past the midyear mark, it's a case of too little, too late for what initially seemed like a very promising system. The smallest Shuttle we've...

- Dell XPS 410 (Core 2 Duo E6600)
- Dell is jumping aboard the Core 2 Duo bandwagon, sticking Intel's new Core 2 Duo E6600 CPU inside its XPS 410, a sequel to the company's midrange XPS 400. While our XPS 410 review unit's $2,405 price, which includes a 20-inch wide-screen LCD, may seem a bit high, especially compared...
