- The eMachines W3653 is a bundled set that includes a preconfigured computer, an eMachines 17-inch wide-screen LCD, and the other peripherals needed for a complete desktop set up. For the purpose of this review, we'll be looking at the computer alone but factoring in the price of the monitor to...

- 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...

This particular configuration has an AMD Phenom X3 8450 triple-core processor, 4GB of memory, HDMI-out, and 64-bit Windows Vista.

- 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...

- Dell Studio Hybrid
- It's hard for us to recommend the Dell Studio Hybrid desktop for any practical purpose. As a desktop for productivity, you can get more bang-for-your-buck from a typical budget-priced midtower PC. And if your goal is either space-saving or using this system as a media PC, we'd instead point you...

- eMachines T5274
- The eMachines T5274 is eMachines' higher-end budget desktop for the back to school season. While it seems like a good deal for $400, the fact is that the low-end PC market has become increasingly competitive this year, which makes it hard for systems such as this one that straddle two...

- 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...

- 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...

- Killing project vampires
- Many failing IT projects are quiet, hanging around almost indefinitely like a form of annoying background noise. These purposeless ghosts consume time and resources, perhaps fulfilling a checklist on some bureaucrat's chart, while ultimately producing little return. Such project vampires should be stabbed through the heart...
