ReviewsDell Inspiron 531s
Reviewed on July 18, 2007 Dell may not have the most bang for the buck in its new, trim Inspiron 531S, but it offers more options than the competition in this new, small-scale Windows desktop. For systems in its slimmed down class, we recommend it. For budget PCs in general, you can find a better deal if you shop around. -
ReviewseMachines T5254
Reviewed on April 21, 2008 The eMachines T5254 costs less than similar systems from Dell and HP, and it outperforms them (in some cases), and uses less power while doing so. You can't configure it before making a purchase, but eMachines has chosen this system's specs wisely, and with a level of environmental consciousness that make it a very enticing deal. -
ReviewseMachines T5246
Reviewed on March 6, 2008 The eMachines T5246 is an imminently capable budget desktop, with pretty much every feature you'd want in a day-to-day PC. If you're inclined to bargain hunt you might find a better deal by a few dollars, but if you pick this one up you won't go wrong for the price. -
ReviewsLenovo ThinkCentre A61e
Reviewed on October 8, 2007 Any business interested in cutting its power bills generated by its work-a-day desktop fleet might be interested in the ThinkCentre A61e, but home office workers or anyone interested in a smaller PC should stay far away from this system that has a major performance and features deficit compared to other small desktops. -
ReviewseMachines T6212
Reviewed on April 20, 2005 The well-designed eMachines T6212 has all the features you'd want on a budget PC but is held back by its substandard performance. -
ReviewsHP Pavilion Media Center a6030n - Athlon 64 X2 4800+ 2.5 GHz
Reviewed on May 4, 2007 The new looks are nice, but we're more glad that HP has redesigned its new midtower Pavilion desktop with an eye on expandability. That and the robust service make this $760 desktop a solid buy for anyone in need of a straightforward day-to-day PC. -

ReviewsDell Dimension C521 Desktop Computer (Athlon 64 X2 4000+ 2.00GHz/250GB/1GB)
Reviewed on September 18, 2006 The Dimension C521 is significant because it's one of the first Dell PCs to include an AMD processor, and Dell uses it to good effect. Unfortunately, that doesn't save this system from Dell's failure to incorporate any of the virtues of a modern space-saving PC. -

ReviewsEMachines T6536 - Athlon 64 3800+ 2.4 GHz
Reviewed on June 29, 2006 eMachines has had a great run with its budget line of PCs, but thanks to aggressive pricing from some lesser-known competition, we can no longer give it the budget PC nod. The eMachines T6536 will serve you well as a basic computer for now, but its weak underpinnings limit its life span.
