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

Apple Mac mini review
Apple's Mac mini offers plenty of power in a very small and attractive chassis. If you're after a small desktop computer or a machine to use as a home-cinema PC, the mini could be a good choice. Read more

Dell Dimension XPS 600 review
Playing Peter Jackson's King Kong on the XPS 600 is like strapping on a Kong suit and parachuting into the Amazon -- this is premium, rip-snorting performance. For your £3,000, you get a 3.2GHz processor, 1TB -- a terabyte -- of memory and 1GB of RAM Read more

Dell Dimension 5150c review
One of the first desktop PCs to use Intel's Viiv platform, the Dimension 5150c offers cool, quiet operation thanks to its tiny BTX chassis. It's not just a pretty face either: it uses a dual-core CPU, has plenty of memory and comes with an optional 24-inch widescreen TFT Read more

Sony Vaio VGC-JS2E review
In terms of design, the gorgeous 20.1-inch Vaio VGC-JS2E all-in-one desktop PC gives Apple's iMac a serious run for its money. It's a real shame that it lacks a Blu-ray drive and TV tuner, but, if you can overlook that, you'll get good performance and a beautiful screen Read more

Shuttle XPC P 2500G review
The small, sleek but hugely powerful Shuttle XPC P 2500G is perfect if you want a gaming PC without the boy-racer frills. Gaming performance is impressive considering the single graphics card, not far behind the Mesh X-treme FX60 PC with its dual-graphics card -- if you want a tiny box with the latest components in, it's hard to beat Read more

Apple iMac (2008 Edition) review
The iMac, Apple's iconic all-in-one desktop, is back. It's only been about half a year since the last upgrade, but we're pleased to see the inclusion of Intel's latest Core 2 Duo 'Penryn' CPU. It helps to make the insides of this attractive machine move much more quickly Read more

Sony Vaio VGX-XL302 review
Sony's VGX-XL302 is a beast of a Media Center PC -- in more ways than one. It features dual tuners, so you can record one channel while watching another, and a pair of 250GB hard drives, but it'll gouge a huge hole in your wallet Read more

Dell XPS 420 review
You know what to expect when you buy an XPS: good looks, high performance, and a substantially lighter wallet. Dell's latest effort, the XPS 420, delivers all these things and should appeal to anyone with a desire to edit video and images, and play games Read more
