Expert Technologies Fusion Multi Media PC review

A Media Center PC with extensive PVR functions, the Fusion blends in with your under-TV tech, and its hybrid digital/analogue tuner lets you watch and record a host of terrestrial Freeview channels -- all for under £800. But it's badly let down by very noisy fans Read more

Elonex Artisan review

The Artisan looks like a clunky old VCR and as such, looks perfectly at home under a TV -- unlike many Media Center PCs. And with a huge range of connectivity options and relatively easy setup, it could well infiltrate more than a few living rooms Read more

Elonex Lumina review

By integrating a monitor, the niggling screen configuration problems that plague most Media Center PCs have been done away with. There's no need to open control panels and hunt through screen resolutions -- everything works straight out of the box Read more

Evesham ebox review

More so than any other Media Center we've tested, the Evesham ebox looks the part. Its minimalist silver fascia and slot-loading DVD drive give it living-room credentials -- but the frustrations we've experienced with other Media Centers were matched here Read more

Hi-Grade DMS II review

Someone at Hi-Grade boiled the eye of a newt and the tongue of a toad together, resurrected the designer of the Sony Betamax and forced him to sculpt the DMS II's chassis. It's the perfect PVR for watching Star Wars, The Goonies or Labyrinth -- you’ll be in retro heaven Read more

Moore Medio review

The Medio definitely looks the part -- a Robocop of the PVR world. The chassis won't be to everyone's taste, but it looks right at home stacked on top of THX power amps. Quality components and incredible attention to detail make this a very desirable Media Center Read more

Sony Vaio VGC-V2M review

The VAIO VGC-V2M's jet-black chassis wouldn't seem out of place on Darth Vader's desk. If arch-villain is the look you're going for this season, this is definitely the most evil-chic looking computer we've ever reviewed Read more
