Evesham Mini PC Plus review

The Mini PC is Evesham's second interpretation of the Apple Mac Mini. It's the same approximate shape and size but is now finished in black, and this time it comes with a host of newer and more powerful components that make it a more formidable multimedia PC Read more

HP Pavilion Elite m9000 series (m9065.uk-a) review

HP is ploughing ahead with another family-friendly PC in the Pavilion Elite m9000 series. It's designed to be a good all-rounder, with 3GB of RAM and a 320GB of memory. It's good for any task and particularly fares well as a Media Center. Fit it into the living room and gather the family Read more

Shuttle XPC mini X 200MA review

The Shuttle mini X 200 is the replacement for the mini X 100, a tiny, well designed desktop PC aimed at multimedia junkies. It packs a larger hard drive and more memory than its predecessor, but it has a slower CPU and graphics card Read more

Dell Studio Hybrid review

While there are a plethora of nettops on the market that offer -- at a basic level -- the same sort of package performance as the Dell Studio Hybrid, they are not as customiseable. You can alter the Studio Hybrid both internally and externally according to your personal preferences. The icing on the cake? It is eco-friendly Read more

Compaq Presario SR1729 review

The sheer number of mid-range desktops available makes it difficult to make a buying decision, but it also means you can pick up bargains such as this Presario SR1729. It's by no means the sexiest of PCs, but it is a competent all-rounder that Compaq has blessed with a generous specification and modern components Read more

rock's Meivo poses as a television, masquerades as a desktop and has the guts of feisty little laptop. It will no doubt please multimedia fans everywhere with its classy design, large hard drive and its ability to use up to four TV tuners simultaneously Read more

Shuttle XPC mini X 100 review

Shuttle's XPC mini X 100 is a lovely looking unit and a solid everyday machine -- it's the smallest, sleekest range the company has produced to date. Arguably the best aspect of its performance is its quiet operation. It's barely audible when idling and doesn't get much louder when running demanding applications Read more

Evesham Solar Storm review

The Vista-equipped Solar Storm is available for £999, which might seem like a big wodge for a PC nowadays, but you get what you pay for -- a gorgeous 20-inch widescreen monitor, capacious storage and strong multimedia capabilities Read more

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
