Reviewed on March 14, 2008HP's Pavilion Elite m9100t is an expensive, fully featured desktop that doesn't quite have enough personality to distinguish it from its competitors at Dell. Between that missing personality and some poor design choices from HP, we can't get too excited about this desktop.TAGS:HP Pavilion, HP, TV Tuner, NVidia, Nvidia GeForce, Intel Core 2 Duo, TV, CPU, Intel, hard drive, PC
Reviewed on November 8, 2006We expect that we'll see better-looking and better-thought-out PCs with Nvidia's new GeForce 8800 GTX graphics card inside, but Polywell gets the distinction of having the first PC in our Labs with this next-gen part. And while its visuals and its power supply could use some attention, its price-performance ratio is hard to beat.TAGS:Nvidia GeForce, power supply, NVidia, Dell XPS, quad-core, video card, card, PC, games, Intel, hard drive
Reviewed on July 27, 2006The Velocity Micro Raptor DCX delivers the fastest performance we've ever seen, thanks to an aggressively overclocked Core 2 Extreme CPU. Because its price is $1,000 above that of the competition, however, we can't help but feel as though Velocity is buying a championship. That and recent case innovations from other vendors prevent us from giving it a higher rating.TAGS:Velocity Micro, Intel Core 2 Duo, Radeon, Dell XPS, video card, NVidia, vendor, high-performance, chipset, Intel, hard drive, PC, video, games
