"Nice PC shame about the case"
What I like:
Fast, cheapish for a hi-end PC
What I don't like:
Dell's cases - yawn
Review:
Why can't the big manufacturers start offering some of the funkier case options? I end up (especially with Dells) reinstalling pCs into other cases e.g. the Sonata. If it's in your living room, you need it to be silent. Otherwise, no complaints at all.

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
