Alienware Aurora 7500 SLI review

She's ported and relieved, and she's stroked and bored -- she'll do a hundred and forty with the top end floored. A 60s muscle car of a PC, the Alienware Aurora 7500 SLI will knock your bobby socks off. It's horribly expensive, but if you need a reliable, plug-and-play super-gaming platform, accept no substitute 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

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

Eee Top review

The Eee Top is a strange departure from traditional Eee-branded products. This low-power, low-cost, all-in-one desktop PC features a touch-sensitive display, setting it apart from its rivals. Though Asus ships the Eee Top with Windows XP, it's conveniently put it in Large Fonts mode, making the touchscreen easier to use Read more

Sony Vaio VGC-RC204 review

The Sony Vaio VGC-RC204 is the first PC to come equipped with a Blu-ray disc drive. The long-awaited optical format allows dozens of gigabytes of data to be stored on a single disc. This makes the RC204 an attractive prospect for video editors or anyone who needs large backups, but sadly it won't play Blu-ray movies in full high definition 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 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

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
