CNET editors' buying advice

We have not reviewed this product but here is CNET's buying advice on Desktops. This content was chosen based on the features included with this model of desktop.

Small-form-factor desktop computer

The small-form-factor (SFF) case is in a bit of a transition phase right now, because the bread-box-size design we normally think of is starting to look clunky compared to even smaller case designs that have cropped up, including that of the Mac Mini, the Asus Eee Box, and others. This doesn't mean that we expect the traditional SFF case to disappear, though. We've been surprised at the number of features desktop computer vendors have been able to cram into the ultra-SFF boxes, but what those ultrasmall cases can't accommodate is expansion cards. So for most gaming, digital video encoding, and other tasks normally aided by PCI and PCI Express cards, you'll need the bigger little box.

Energy Star compliant desktop computer

Energy Star compliant products use less energy to save money and the environment. Although Energy Star's criteria and compliance may be comparatively simple to other ecologically concerned standards, the categories are much broader. It may not be long until every electronic device sold in the U.S. is eligible for the Energy Star logo provided it has appropriate energy consumption.

Full tower desktops

If you are a serious speed junkie, then this is your hot rod. The interior space allows for plenty of expansion room, with many internal and external bays for both optical drives and hard drives. It should also include an x16 PCI Express slot or two for high-end 3D gaming cards, as well as at least five PCI or x1 PCI Express slots.
