Advantages: Media Options, Hard Drive Space
Disadvantages: Price

I love my HP Media Center PC. When shopping for a new home PC, it is important that you take into consideration what you will be using it for and then pick the model that meets your needs the best. I use my PC to surf the web, download music, download and manage pictures, and edit videos. This PC is perfect for all of my needs. It is super fast, and has more than enough hard drive space than I will ever use. I have been super pleased wtih my media ... Read review

Advantages: Fast, Quiet, Dependable
Disadvantages: none

I am giving this HP a 5 star rating with reservation, because it just is one sweet little computer, probably one of the most powerful machines for the money your can find. It is fast, quiet and flawless in execution of operation. Vista 64 actually runs most of the old programs I enjoy including BF2 and COD4. Microsoft Flight Simulator X has to be seem to be believed with Direct X 10 on this machine! Havent loaded Crysis yet but I can imagine. So ... Read review

Advantages: sleek and small
Disadvantages: none

Wonderful, compact and sleek looking.I have had mine for a while now and I love the way you can put it right up there on your desk, not in floor like the other towers(because of weight).  This compact ,but all functional is great.You do not have to look at the back for any of your media drives they are all on front.   I actually have mine setting on the top shelf of my desk with my monitor and a printer/fax/copier. I believe you will get the same ...

Advantages: Fast, reliable, double layer disk drive.
Disadvantages: An occasional freeze up.

I purchased the Emachines T3958 four or five years ago, and it is still the best computer in our house. We have two desktop computers and three laptops in our home, but the T3958 is everybody's favorite. I bought my computer at Circuit City. Trust me, I am not a computer geek, so I welcome the aid of a knowledgeable sales clerk. They patiently walk around with me while I ask questions about different computers. Then, based on my needs, I make a ...
...is how I picked the Emachines T3958. It has an Intel Celeron D340 processor, 512 MB memory, double layer drive, and 80 GB hard drive. (For further details, please see the product description). We all use this computer everyday. I use it for my business and for writing reviews. My daughters use it for school, music, and Myspace. My husband uses it to look at investment property, research home improvement projects and for Nascar.com. This computer ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, runs well even with many applications open, much much better than size and price
Disadvantages: Sometimes applications crashes, suddenly turns off when you touch power cord

This Mac mini is for people who want a Mac, but can't afford one. It's about $600, half the price of an iMac. But, unlike the price and the size, it unbelievably works well. I have had this about over an year, and it's still perfect. I ran Flash CS3, Photoshop CS3, Safari, and iWeb all at once, and it still worked great. Sometimes, not often though, an application crashes (suddenly quitting or not responding). But that doesn't effect you much. Also, ... Read review
