Mesh Ice3 530CS review An expandable design, with a decent processor and a Full HD monitor, but just enough room to upgrade memory and graphics to create a powerful gaming PC

Arbico P250 CS review There's nothing particularly wrong with Arbico's P250 CS, but for similar money you can get a PC with more memory and a faster processor.

Cooler Master Hyper TX 3 review It's a brilliant choice if you're on a tight budget, but for a little more money you can buy a better model.

PC Specialist Aurea i3-530X review The lack of a Full HD monitor makes this poor value compared to other PCs here, but we're more concerned by the lack of extra cooling for the overclocked CPU, coupled with the minimal warranty.

Eclipse Matrix i75R577 review A well-made, quiet PC with potential for overclocking, the 24in, Full HD monitor and 1TB hard disk tip the scales in its favour against stiff competition.

AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition review Far cheaper than Intel's first six-core effort, but it's still too expensive given its all-round performance.

Mesh MatriX6 Ti review AMD’s new six-core processor isn’t as exciting as we’d hoped, but the MatriX6 Ti remains a powerful, well-built computer

Thermaltake Contac 29 review Excellent value and relatively quiet, this cooler kept our processor incredibly cool.

RaidSonic IcyBox IB-318StU3-B review RaidSonic's USB3-capable IcyBox looks good and is straightforward to assemble, but its performance is disappointing.

HP TouchSmart 600-1050UK review The screen's fantastic and it's a decent all round PC, but you can buy similarly-specified all-in-one computers with slightly smaller screens for a lot less.

HP Pavillion MS228uk review This all-in-one PC has everything you need for basic computing, but is underpowered for the price.

Advent Centurion CBE1401 review A well-designed case and quiet water-cooling can't make up for the poor choice of motherboard, and it's much too expensive.

PC Nextday Zoostorm 72-4301 Core i3 Advanced HD PC review The Zoostorm 72-4301 just doesn't do enough to justify its price when there are much more powerful PCs available for the same money.
