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

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

AJP Neo64 review
The Neo64 is an all-in-one device that bears a similarity to the Apple iMac, but it's much more than just a cheap imitation. Not only is it a semi-portable PC, but it's also a dedicated instant-on television and DVD player, which makes it a likely candidate for style-conscious multimedia enthusiasts 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 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

Asus Eee Box review
Asus has performed a minor miracle in the laptop market with its Eee PC, so it stands to reason that it would try the same trick in the desktop arena. The Eee Box is tiny, attractive, requires little power to run, and most importantly it costs just £199 Read more

Shuttle x27D review
The X27D is the fastest nettop-style machine we've ever tested. Its dual-core Atom 330 CPU makes it a far more robust solution than PCs such as the Eee Box. It's a little too noisy for our liking, but it's affordable, attractive and perfect for lightweight computing tasks like surfing the Web or watching digital movies Read more

Advent Eco PC review
With petrol prices skyrocketing, there's no question: the cost of powering your electrical goods is getting higher and higher, too. Advent has released its Eco PC, a desktop computer that uses just 25W when idle. It comes in recycled packaging and has a few other features to help it run more efficiently, but it isn't cheap Read more
