Reviewed on September 2, 2008 The Acer Aspire X1200-U1520A is a speedy, compact, low-end desktop that's powerful enough to serve as a light-duty home theater PC. Expansion is limited by an especially cramped interior (even for a small PC), but the total package is worthwhile for PC shoppers on a budget. -

Pricing not availableIntel Core 2 Extreme QX6700
Reviewed on November 1, 2006 If you thought dual cores were over the top, get ready. Intel presents the Core 2 Extreme QX6700, a single CPU with four distinct processing cores. At $999, the first quad-core CPU will remain an enthusiast part for a while, but as a glimpse of the future, it's clear that clock speed is out and core counts are in. -

Pricing not availableeMachines T3642
Reviewed on February 11, 2008 eMachines nailed the $300-$400 desktop with the T3642. It has a faster CPU, a larger hard drive, and is generally more capable than any other system in this price category. We would recommend it over anything else out there for the same price. -
Pricing not availableAMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+
Reviewed on June 1, 2006 AMD's new high-end dual-core CPU offers plenty of bang for the buck, outpacing Intel's Pentium 965 Extreme Edition, which costs $200 more. Sounds like a good deal, but wait to see what Intel's next-gen Core 2 Duo chips have to offer when they debut later this year. -

Reviewed on June 13, 2008 The Gateway GT5674 is a low-cost quad-core desktop that delivers excellent bang for the buck. The problem is, most mainstream users don't need four processing cores and can get away with a dual-core PC for even less. -

Check prices$239.99-$295.99AMD Phenom 9600 (2.3GHz)
Reviewed on December 10, 2007 AMD's new Phenom quad-core CPU has little to recommend it over competing chips from Intel. The Phenom is marginally less-expensive, but not enough to make up for its subpar performance. Unless AMD drops prices more aggressively, it looks like Intel will maintain its grasp on the CPU market for the foreseeable future. -

Reviewed on October 10, 2006 If you're looking for a pure budget desktop and aren't too worried about looks, even this new updated Mac Mini with its 1.66GHz dual-core CPU is a hard sell. But if you want a small, innocuous computer for sending or receiving media or other files between rooms, no other computer offers the deal that Apple has with this one. -
Pricing not availableDell Dimension 5100 (Pentium 4 3.4GHz, 256MB RAM, 80GB HDD, XP Home)
Reviewed on August 29, 2005 Dell's mainstream Dimension 5100 looks good from the outside, but surprisingly limited configuration options dampen our enthusiasm. -
Pricing not availableVelocity Micro ProMagix A50
Reviewed on October 19, 2007 Velocity Micro keeps to its performance ethic with this new ProMagix A50 desktop. This PC doesn't have a quad-core chip, nor does it want to serve as the hub of your "digital lifestyle." Instead, it promises fast 3D and overall performance, with room to grow. Dedicated PC gamers will appreciate what this system has to offer. -

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
Reviewed on July 13, 2006 Intel's Core 2 Duo line marks the end of AMD's run of dominance through the dual-core desktop-processor landscape. Not only are Intel's new chips fast, efficient, and well designed, but they're also aggressively priced and sure to send ripples though the desktop PC industry. If you are buying or building a new computer, we recommend that a Core 2 Duo chip be at its center.Check prices$288.13-$372.00 -
Pricing not availableDell PowerEdge SC430
Reviewed on August 15, 2005 This server's solid components, economical price, and lack of manageability software make it most appropriate for budget-minded small businesses with just a few employees.
