Pro Softnet iBackup for Windows 9.5 review Its design and plentiful options may please experienced users, but iBackup is expensive and its ability to recover older versions of files is limited.

Logitech Z-5500 Digital This outstanding PC speaker set gives the home cinema speakers a run for their money. It's affordable and sounds great.

Mission M-Cube 5.1 review If you can afford them, these speakers are stunning in both their looks and their audio quality. We've never heard so much detail in films.

KEF KHT1005.2 review Classy-looking speakers that produce well-balanced treble and mid-range tones, but a weak bass and lack of intensity make them poor value.

Tannoy SFX 5.1 review Tannoy's silver SFX 5.1 speakers may not be much to look at but they're great value, with fantastic audio quality.

Yamaha NS-P280 review These inexpensive speakers have a powerful bass but are let down by a fuzzy mid-range and lightweight build quality.

Panasonic SA-BX500 review With a fiddly configuration and a bright sound that can become harsh on the wrong speakers, the SA-BX500 is overpriced.

Onkyo TX-SR577 review With stunning audio quality that brings out the best in any set of speakers, this is the AV receiver we'd have in our home. It's a Best Buy.

Yamaha RX-V465 review The only 5.1 model here, this low-cost and easy-to-use AV receiver has good audio quality, produces great directional audio and is superb value.

Mesh Nero 9950HD review An amazing PC with stunning performance, huge upgrade potential and a fantastic monitor. The 9950HD is incredible value.

Ginger6 G6 Studio 9600GTi review The 9600GTi is a decent budget PC, but doesn't have the expansion options or performance to compete with Mesh's Nero 9950HD.

RL Supplies Modula 9040IHD review A desktop case that can save space, with bundled speakers, a large hard disk and good quality peripherals. However, upgrades are limited.

Eclipse Eco a50 review A well-equipped PC with decent upgrade potential and good performance at a bargain price; only the low-resolution display is a disappointment.
