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

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

For those on a tight budget, the HP dx5150 stands out from the abundance of cheap, ugly desktops that litter the market thanks to its promise of contemporary styling, solid build quality and quiet, efficient operation. In addition, it's a decent performer, making it very hard to ignore 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
