Shuttle XPC M1000 review
The M1000 is one of the most painstakingly well designed desktops we've seen, and provided you don't mind its slightly retro looks, its list of features suggests it's the most complete implementation of Windows XP Media Center Edition on the market Read more

Apple iMac (24-inch, 2.8GHz) review
The 24-inch iMac's striking design and impressive performance compare favourably to its smaller 20-inch sibling. In addition to a larger screen size, the 24-inch model offers higher-end configuration options and, of course, a higher price tag. Check out how the 2.8GHz processor performed Read more

Alienware Aurora Star Wars Edition review
Alienware's Special Edition Star Wars Aurora makes you want to yell, "Prepare to make the jump to lightspeed!" and slap the side of the chassis. Strictly for Lucas completists, this PC comes in Dark and Light Side flavours and offers blistering Nvidia GeForce-powered graphical performance for an eye-watering price 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

Asus A33 review
The Asus A33 fulfills all the Media Center PC requirements. It's designed for the living room, looks more like a DVD player than a computer and it's fairly quiet. It also comes with a 300W amplifier for extra flexibility, and its 4GB of memory will launch videos in a snap Read more

Alienware Aurora 7500 SLI review
She's ported and relieved, and she's stroked and bored -- she'll do a hundred and forty with the top end floored. A 60s muscle car of a PC, the Alienware Aurora 7500 SLI will knock your bobby socks off. It's horribly expensive, but if you need a reliable, plug-and-play super-gaming platform, accept no substitute Read more

Apple Mac Pro review
Apple's new Mac Pro (£1,699 for the base model) is a winner on multiple levels. From the outside, it looks great -- far more put together than any Windows-based box. Inside, it boasts powerful specs, including two dual-core Intel Xeon processors, for a total of four processing cores. And to top it off, it's a great value 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
