ReviewsGateway DX4200-UB001A
Reviewed on August 8, 2008 We can forgive Gateway for cramming the DX4200 with more memory than it needs simply because its specs and overall performance are the best in its price class. Of the various do-it-all lower midrange PCs out there, this one gets our nod. -
ReviewsAcer Aspire X1200-U1520A
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. -
ReviewsDell Inspiron 518
Reviewed on July 31, 2008 Dell's Inspiron 518 is the latest in a long line of utilitarian, midrange Windows PCs. We wish Dell offered a bit more flexibility with its configuration, as well as a 64-bit Windows option, but for a straightforward PC, this is one of the more powerful systems for the dollar. -

ReviewsDell Studio MT
Reviewed on October 24, 2008 This off-the-shelf version of the Dell Studio Desktop reminds us of a classic Dell computer. This system is faster and better equipped than its competition, and at a better price. You can certainly get away with a cheaper everyday PC, but this one is a bargain among lower midrange desktops. -
ReviewsVelocity Micro Edge Z-55 (Intel Core i7-920)
Reviewed on November 11, 2008 Velocity Micro's Edge Z55 provides a powerful example of the leap ahead in performance afforded by Intel's new Core i7 CPUs. Velocity Micro's own overclocking efforts don't hurt either. Any PC gamer would love to make this upper midrange desktop their own. -
ReviewsDell Studio Desktop
Reviewed on September 24, 2008 Dell's new Studio Desktop introduces 64-bit Windows Vista to the Dell desktop line-up, but that's about the only thing this system does well. Its biggest, and deal-killing, fault is the overpriced and less than aggressive selection of configuration options. -
ReviewsAcer Aspire AX3200-U3600A
Reviewed on October 20, 2008 As much as Acer's Aspire X3200 surpasses other pricier PCs with its wide array of useful inputs and outputs, you'll have a hard time choosing between it and its otherwise identical dual-core Acer linemate of the same price. If you're a multitasker on a budget, you'll likely prefer this model's triple-core CPU. -
ReviewsGateway GT5692
Reviewed on August 6, 2008 The Gateway GT5692 is a reliable PC that will easily get you around all the standard tasks of a budget desktop. This triple-core system also includes 64-bit Windows and enough RAM to make it a very strong photo-editing desktop for its price. -
ReviewsGateway DX 4720-03 - Pentium Dual Core E5200 2.5 GHz
Reviewed on October 31, 2008 The Gateway DX4720-03 performs admirably and actually holds its own against triple-core computers thanks to its impressive list of features. It also has plenty of room for internal expansion, so we recommend this budget system if you need the speed but don't crave a ton of CPU power. -
ReviewsGateway FX4710
Reviewed on July 23, 2008 The Gateway FX4710 provides enough performance to get you through most of today's games and multimedia software, but the ahead-of-its time memory is wasted on current applications. You can make your PC dollar go further today on a desktop with a more balanced configuration. -
ReviewsGateway FX7026
Reviewed on June 25, 2008 The Gateway FX7026 offers a quad-core processor at a modest price tag with specifications that any high-end gamer will be satisfied with. You might want to replace the peripherals and the video card down the road, but this system is an excellent option for a nonconfigurable, off the shelf desktop. -
ReviewsGateway P-6860FX
Reviewed on May 19, 2008 The Gateway P-6860FX offers GeForce 8800 gaming muscle and plenty of memory in a midprice laptop, making it a great choice for gamers who fall just short of hard-core. -
ReviewsFalcon Northwest FragBox 2 (Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650)
Reviewed on October 14, 2008 Falcon Northwest's high-end, preconfigured FragBox 2 leans on a pair of top-of-the-line ATI 3D cards to achieve some of the fastest 3D scores we've seen. You might rightly wait for Intel's new CPUs to ship before making a pricey PC purchase, but if you buy this system now, you'll be treated to a superfast little desktop. -
ReviewsHP Pavilion Elite m9402f
Reviewed on October 31, 2008 HP's Pavilion Elite m9402f continues to frustrate us in its core design. This off-the-shelf Best Buy system is also overpriced compared with faster, more feature-rich PCs from its competition. With little to recommend this desktop, we suggest you keep shopping. -
ReviewsVelocity Micro Vector Campus Edition
Reviewed on July 10, 2008 As much as we like the look and feel of Velocity Micro's Vector Campus Edition desktop, we can't recommend it. It suffers from poor bang-for-the-buck, a lack of configurable options, and a narrow upgrade path. -
ReviewsAlienware Area-51 ALX (Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770)
Reviewed on June 5, 2008 Alienware delivers most of what we expect in a high-end gaming PC, but without 64-bit Vista support, the Area-51 ALX's overall performance is limited. It's the fastest thing going for PC gaming, but at this price we expect the complete package. -
ReviewsAVADirect Core 2 SLI DDR3 Gaming System
Reviewed on July 2, 2008 AVADirect has a very strong value proposition in its Core 2 SLI DDR3 Gaming System. Assuming you can navigate the daunting shopping Web site, we recommend this system to tech-savvy shoppers who know exactly the components they want. -

ReviewsVelocity Micro Edge E2250
Reviewed on May 1, 2008 The Velocity Micro Edge E2250 is a very fast midrange PC, and it's one of the best PCs in its class for digital media editors. Gamers will find a strong foundation with some upgrade potential, but they can get better performance for the dollar elsewhere.
