HP dx5150 Small Form Factor review

For those on a tight budget, the HP dx5150 stands out from the abundance of cheap, ugly desktops that litter the market thanks to its promise of contemporary styling, solid build quality and quiet, efficient operation. In addition, it's a decent performer, making it very hard to ignore Read more

LG GBW-H10N review

The LG GBW-H10N is an easy-to-install internal optical drive. As well as being able to play Blu-ray movies, its main claim to fame is that it's the world's first 4x drive, meaning it can write up to 25GB of data to a Blu-ray Disc at 18MBps -- far quicker than the 4.5MBps achievable with 1x drives Read more

Evesham Mini PC review

A Mac Mini clone designed to cater to the Windows crowd, the Mini PC is petite, quiet and uses Windows XP Media Center Edition, so it's perfect for your living room. You'll need to upgrade the basic hard drive and buy a tuner for full PVR functionality, and don't expect to play anything more complicated than Solitaire on it Read more

Dell E207WFP review

Dell's E207WFP's design is pleasing to the eye -- it has a thin outer bezel finished in matte black and its controls are sensibly located. Under the surface, however, it's not all rosy. Its image quality lets it down and the colour reproduction is awful. And now priced at £272 rather than the £155 first listed, it's not so much of a bargain after all Read more

Acer Aspire E300 review

The 64-bit Gamer version of the Aspire E300 uses a single-core Athlon 64 3500+ CPU, Windows XP Home Edition and a 200GB hard drive. Particularly good value for money, it produces respectable gaming performance for only £600, a bargain in our book -- and it doesn't make you look like a car-modding chav Read more

Acer F-17 review

The smallest in Acer's Ferrari lineup, the F-17 is boldly styled, with a bright-red rear and a prominent prancing horse on the front. It offers a plethora of inputs, excellent image quality and Formula One-speed response time. It's not widescreen, though, and if you don't like sporting merchandise, steer clear Read more

Gateway DS50 review

The Gateway DS50 desktop PC will serve you well when it comes to office tasks. Our configuration is unlikely to set your pulse racing, but it's quick and has a decent specification for the price. Read more
