ReviewsMaingear Ephex (Intel and ATI)
Reviewed on February 21, 2008 Maingear's Ephex combines aggressive overclocking and a refined sense of what gamers want in a high-end PC. Crysis remains a challenge for even a top-of-the-line PC like this one, but if you can get past that hitch (and the multi-thousand-dollar price tag), we'd recommend this system in a second. -
ReviewsZT Affinity 7225Xi-35
Reviewed on July 14, 2008 ZT's Affinity 7225Xi-35 is a cleanly built midrange PC that will get you through all of your everyday tasks with ease. It's not a particularly flashy desktop, and you may be able to find more aggressively configured PCs for the same price, but if you need an affordable workhorse, this system will do the job. -
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. -
ReviewsATI All-In-Wonder X800 XL (256MB, PCI)
Reviewed on November 10, 2005 The ATI All-In-Wonder X800 XL will have you gaming, watching TV, and listening to FM radio, but it doesn't stand out in any one area. -
ReviewsHP Pavilion Media Center A1640n (Core 2 Duo 1.86 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB HDD)
Reviewed on October 26, 2006 We have a few nitpicks about this midrange desktop from HP, but its strong core configuration overrides most of them. All this PC really needs is an inexpensive 3D graphics card, and it'll be ready for Windows Vista bliss. -
ReviewseMachines T6524
Reviewed on October 20, 2005 The versatile, expandable, reasonably powerful eMachines T6524 is a solid family computer and a perfect dorm-room companion that gets mainstream jobs done with aplomb. -
ReviewseMachines T6520 Media Center PC
Reviewed on August 3, 2005 The versatile, expandable, reasonably powerful eMachines T6520 is a solid family computer and a perfect dorm-room companion that gets mainstream jobs done with aplomb. -
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. -
ReviewsHP Pavilion a1740n
Reviewed on March 14, 2007 HP's lower midrange (or is it upper budget?) Pavilion a1740n desktop will run Windows Vista well enough, but too many other PCs have stronger core hardware for the money. Between that issue and the overall feeling that this system is trying to sell you something prevent us from recommending it. -
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 Digital Entertainment Center z560 - Pentium D 925 3 GHz
Reviewed on November 17, 2006 With all the talk of HD video, you might scratch your head when you learn that HP's Digital Entertainment Center z560 only has a standard-definition DVD player. But when you learn what else it has and that its price is pretty reasonable, you might not care. This is a perfect home theater PC for riding out the HD format wars. -
ReviewsVelocity ProMagix E2035
Reviewed on May 4, 2007 Velocity Micro's PCs are always easy on the eyes, and that trend continues with this midrange gaming model. We have some reservations about its performance for the cost, but if you're inclined toward upgrading you might be willing to forgive that it's a little slow today. -
ReviewsSony VAIO RC310G
Reviewed on June 9, 2006 If you absolutely must be the first on the block with a Blu-ray device, the Sony VAIO RC310G is your pick by virtue of it being the first Blu-ray PC to hit the street. Slow burning speeds and the high cost of blank media, however, dampen our enthusiasm. -
ReviewsVelocity ProMagix E2200
Reviewed on August 30, 2006 You'll find Velocity Micro's higher-end midrange PC at your local Best Buy, and it's one of the best off-the-shelf PCs around. Dell and HP have slightly better deals online, but if you don't want to wait for shipping, the ProMagix E2200 brings a strong combination of design and capability you won't find from any other in-store PC. -
ReviewsUltimate X8 III
Reviewed on March 19, 2007 ABS's Ultimate X8 Stealth Extreme is most definitely not stealthy thanks to its loud cooling hardware, but for sheer bang-for-the-buck, this high-end gaming PC has a lot to recommend it. Whether you like it as is, or plan to make upgrades later, this PC makes a strong gaming box. Just don't expect it to win any design awards. -
ReviewsPinball Builder: A Construction Kit (PC)
Reviewed on December 23, 1996 -
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. -
ReviewsSony VAIO R series
Reviewed on June 14, 2004 -
ReviewsHP Compaq Presario Media Center SR2050NX (Pentium D 2.8 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 250 GB HDD)
Reviewed on November 7, 2006 We don't recommend paying list price for HP's budget Compaq Presario Media Center SR2050NX, but if you can find it for less, this desktop makes a fine choice as a cheap second PC. -
ReviewsPolywell MiniBox 900VX-2800
Reviewed on September 27, 2004 Polywell's attempt at creating a media-center PC falls flat, with a weak software bundle, poor 3D performance, and a puny LCD monitor.
