Dell XPS 710 H2C review
Despite buying Alienware, Dell continues to produce outstanding gaming rigs, such as the brand-new XPS 710 HTC. This beast introduces two elements we've never seen on a Dell -- factory overclocking and a space-age water-cooling system Read more

Mesh X-treme FX60 review
The X-treme FX60 is Mesh's attempt to deliver the goods in both price and performance. It uses the fastest gaming CPU available and twin graphics cards, so we didn't expect it to be very cheap. As is often the case, however, Mesh has surprised us by selling the PC at a reasonable price point Read more

Shuttle XPC P2 3700G review
If you thought Shuttle small-form-factor PCs were dainty, then think again. The XPC P2 3700G provides enough grunt to embarrass most desktops twice its size. If you've ever fancied a miniature PC with Alienware-type performance, you're looking in the right place Read more

Alienware Aurora 7500 (FX-60) review
The Aurora 7500 is the perfect showcase for Alienware's ability to produce high-performance PCs.

Alienware Area-51 7500 review
Alienware has left the rickety build quality of its garish cases behind and created a truly menacing PC with the Area-51 7500, a brutally quick gaming system with top-of-the-line components and performance to match. It's very loud, but if you're after off-the-shelf gaming power there's none better 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

Sony Vaio VGX-XL202 review
Sony's Vaio VGX-XL202 looks like it means serious business. Tech-heads should love the Intel E6400 Core 2 Duo processor and multimedia freaks will love the inclusion of a Freeview TV tuner card, but the flagship component in this PC is a Matshita BD-MLT UJ-215S Blu-ray disc drive, which allows you to play glorious hi-def Blu-ray movies Read more

The Mesh Elite Quad 6600 FX is unbelievable value for money -- it has one of the fastest CPUs on the market, a ridiculous amount of memory and a fairly decent graphics card, all for under £700 Read more
