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 530
Reviewed on April 18, 2008 PC vendors have very few tricks remaining to differentiate their systems from the competition, which makes the built-in Bluetooth in the Dell Inspiron 530 unique. There's little else that makes this system stand out, but if you need Bluetooth in your budget desktop, we can recommend no other. -
ReviewsDell XPS 420
Reviewed on October 23, 2007 Dell's new XPS 420 offers almost all of the latest in PC-based digital-video capability, as well as a few unique features you won't find elsewhere. The default configuration fares poorly against the other new PCs, but if you're willing to spend money on upgrades, you can turn this system into a powerful digital-media nerve center. -
ReviewsPinnacle PCTV To Go HD Wireless
Reviewed on April 25, 2007 The combination of built-in wireless and limited Windows Media Center integration makes the Pinnacle PCTV To Go HD Wireless one of the more promising Slingbox competitors for advanced users. -
ReviewsVelocity Micro CineMagix Grand Theater
Reviewed on February 12, 2007 Velocity Micro's first full-fledged home theater PC pulls very few punches in providing a complete digital media experience. It's big, it lacks a built-in audio receiver, and it invites PC gaming into the living room, which has never been the best fit. It's also the victim of a few Vista-related growing pains. On balance, though, Velocity Micro has as complete a home theater PC as we've seen. -
ReviewsCreative Live Cam Optia AF
Reviewed on November 12, 2007 If remote video surveillance or time-lapse photography is something you want to do with a Webcam, the Creative Live Cam Optia AF is a good pick. For all others, Logitech has a better (and slightly cheaper) Webcam. -
ReviewsEVGA e-GeForce 8600 GTS (PCI-e, 256MB)
Reviewed on April 17, 2007 If you care more about HD movie watching than gaming and you need a new video card for the task today, we recommend a 3D card like this EVGA with Nvidia's newest mainstream graphics chip. Gamers can get more performance value from Nvidia's higher-end 8800 cards, but for anyone, it would be a good idea to wait to see what's new from ATI in just a few short weeks. -
ReviewsAVerTV Hybrid Ultra USB
Reviewed on June 4, 2007 While there are more portable TV tuner/antenna combos for frequent travelers, the AVerTV Hybrid Ultra USB is a good choice for more sedentary Media Center users looking for an affordable and easy way to watch and record TV. The kit would be more useful, however, if the included antenna were bigger. -

ReviewsWindows Vista RC2
Reviewed on October 11, 2006 We think the overall quality of this $399 Windows Vista Ultimate edition is not deserving of final release candidate status, and we expect to see at least one more interim build, or perhaps even another release candidate, soon. -

ReviewsShuttle XPC X200M
Reviewed on January 22, 2007 Shuttle's updated supersmall home theater PC introduces a few new features to bring it inline with similar diminutive living room PCs. It also came to us with Windows Vista Home Premium. If you're in it for the looks (and you don't want HD video), you'll find a system to like here, but we think you'll be able to find more capable PCs on the market soon. -
