Dell Dimension 9100 review
Dell's formerly bland case offerings take an interesting new turn with the 9100. Changes here are more than skin-deep: the 9100 runs a 64-bit Pentium 4 dual-core processor and it's configurable with enough graphical power to keep gamers fairly happy without breaking the bank Read more

HP TouchSmart IQ500 review
We didn't think the original TouchSmart IQ770 was that ugly, but compared to HP's brand-new IQ500 series it's a total dog. The IQ500 has a bigger screen -- 22 inches instead of 19 -- has a better spec, and sports the same touch-sensitive panel that intrigued us about the original Read more

Hi-Grade DMS II review
Someone at Hi-Grade boiled the eye of a newt and the tongue of a toad together, resurrected the designer of the Sony Betamax and forced him to sculpt the DMS II's chassis. It's the perfect PVR for watching Star Wars, The Goonies or Labyrinth -- you’ll be in retro heaven Read more

Evesham Mini PC review
A Mac Mini clone designed to cater to the Windows crowd, the Mini PC is petite, quiet and uses Windows XP Media Center Edition, so it's perfect for your living room. You'll need to upgrade the basic hard drive and buy a tuner for full PVR functionality, and don't expect to play anything more complicated than Solitaire on it 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

Apple Mac mini 2010 review
The new Apple Mac mini is more expensive than ever, but it's also more attractive, more powerful and more capable. If you can afford one, it'll make a fabulous all-round machine, and it'll also turn your fellow nerds green with envy, which isn't something to be sniffed at Read more
