Alienware Area-51 X58 review
The Alienware Area-51 X58 has a name and a look that implies it's out of this world, and we would have to agree. With Intel's latest high-end processor and a pair of dual-chip ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 cards inside this desktop is a gamer's paradise. While the price may seem steep, compared to similarly specced models it's a bargain 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

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

Dell Studio XPS 435 review
Sporting Dell's strongest chassis design in years, our Studio XPS 435 review sample overcame our bias against jack-of-all-trades desktops. It's missing a few features, such as a second graphics card slot, but its decent performance means it's a good machine overall 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

If you don't have enough room in your flat or student pad for a TV, Freeview PVR, monitor and PC, this all in one computer from Advent is a handy and affordable solution. Its innards might not be powerful enough for epic gaming, but its nifty touch interface and usable Windows Media Centre software make it very versatile Read more

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
