| Review summary | The Meivo isn't quite large enough for our tastes, but it's a great example of an all-in-one Media Center PC. If you want a second PC with a contemporary, unintrusive design, and you're all about the multimedia, the Meivo is worth checking out Read full review |
The Acer Aspire iDea 500 is the best Media Center PC we've seen. Aesthetically it's inspired by traditional AV equipment, so it'll sit alongside or replace your existing DVD player without looking out of place. It's not very upgradeable, but it's packed with just the right multimedia components to make the most of the Intel Viiv platform Read full review |
It's gorgeous to look at, easy and fun to use, and is also affordable. If you're looking for a second PC for multimedia, Web surfing or general tinkering, we'd definitely recommend it. Keep in mind that it slows down when multitasking, but that's rarely a problem Read full review |
It's difficult to find fault with the VGX-XL202. It's powerful, looks good and is packed to the brim with high-performing, but quiet-running components. It's the ideal Media Center PC for anyone who wants to get an early ride on the Blu-ray bandwagon Read full review |

Apple iMac (27-inch, unibody, 2009)
Although not much faster than its predecessor, the LED-backlit display and spec tweaks are welcome
ViewSonic VPC100
Not particularly exciting, but it's cheap and offers a relatively large display for a nettop
Dell Studio XPS 435
Despite some missing features, it's a decent all-rounder, and it looks good for a Dell desktop too
