Desktops Reviews

• Lenovo ThinkStation S10 Power Desktop This system's quad-core Intel QC6700 CPU gives it decent computing oomph, but we were unimpressed after pitting it against other power PCs.
• Micro Express MicroFlex 92B Power Desktop The MicroFlex 92B is one of the fastest power PCs we've tested to date; its speed, price and upgradability make it a winner.
• Acer Aspire Predator Power Desktop A good machine, the Predator delivers solid performance for its price; a little reconfiguring could wonders, however.
• iBuyPower Video Pro Power Desktop The Video Pro offers midrange performance at an excellent price, though we would upgrade the peripherals.
• Xi Mtower HAF-SLI This rig sacrifices some graphical prowess to achieve blazing overclocked performance at a killer price.
