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

Alienware Aurora 7500 (FX-60) review
The Aurora 7500 is the perfect showcase for Alienware's ability to produce high-performance PCs. Its specification makes for impressive reading -- Alienware has equipped it with not one, but two of the latest graphics cards, 1 terabyte of physical storage and the fastest gaming processor available 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

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

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

Elonex Artisan review
The Artisan looks like a clunky old VCR and as such, looks perfectly at home under a TV -- unlike many Media Center PCs. And with a huge range of connectivity options and relatively easy setup, it could well infiltrate more than a few living rooms Read more

Dell Dimension XPS 600 review
Playing Peter Jackson's King Kong on the XPS 600 is like strapping on a Kong suit and parachuting into the Amazon -- this is premium, rip-snorting performance. For your £3,000, you get a 3.2GHz processor, 1TB -- a terabyte -- of memory and 1GB of RAM 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

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
