Averatec’s D1200 all-in-one PC is literally a giant value–you’ll get a 25.5″ LCD, 2.5GHz Core 2 Duo, 320GB HDD, 4GB RAM, 1080p TV tuner, 2MP webcam and 802.11n for only $999.
Touted as the most energy efficient gaming PC, Maingear’s Pulse runs on NVIDIA ION graphics (with optional low-power GeForce 9600/9800 cards) and an 80%+ efficient 300W PSU.
It’s by no means a powerhouse, but it’s tough to beat the Lenovo IdeaCentre 300’s $450 price; essentially an all-in-one netbook, you’ll get a 20″ display, Atom 230 CPU, and 2GB RAM.
Their first SFF rig, iBuyPower’s LAN Warrior is a beast: it maxes out with a 1000W PSU, 5 fans, liquid cooling, Core i7, 4-way SLI/Crossfire, two Blu-ray writers, and 24GB RAM.
HP’s new Pavilion m9600 series provides Core i7 power for under $1,000; the base model includes 4GB RAM, a 500GB HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GS and DVD burner.
Ideal for LAN parties thanks to its light welded aluminum chassis, Panzerbox also sports three fans good for 300 CFM, dual radiator support, oversized heatsinks and a mobo tray.
Hang it on a wall, carry it around with its handle or prop it up like other all-in-one PCs: the Shuttle X50’s chief strength is its versatility, aided by a 15.6″ touchscreen and 36mm thickness.
Coming to the US later this spring, the Dell Studio One 19 is an all-in-one with an 18.5″ multi-touch display; it’ll top out with a Blu-ray drive, GeForce 9400, 4GB RAM and Core 2 Quad CPU.
Apple’s Mac mini gets a long-overdue refresh; nothing too revolutionary, but the extra 5th USB port, FireWire 800, GeForce 9400M and 2.0Ghz Core 2 Duo keep the tiniest Mac relevant.
Apple’s Mac Pro gets a $300 price drop and the Nehalem CPU, available in 4-core or 8-core flavors; both models come with the NVIDIA GT 120 (dual ATI Radeon HD 4870s are optional).
Asus’ Marine Cool is a concept motherboard with two key innovations: a micro-porous ceramic backplate designed to dissipate heat and SO-DIMM slots in place of DIMMs.
Billed as their flagship multimedia desktop, the Dell XPS 435 comes with a Core i7 965 running at 3.2GHz, up to 24GB of RAM, 7.1 channel audio and a spiffy crimson trim.
Shuttle squeezes a gaming rig into its signature small form factor cases with the SDXi Carbon; a QX9770 CPU, dual-slot GTX 280 and 16GB RAM are kept cool with Liquid I.C.E. tech.
iBuypower has added two relatively affordable gaming PCs running AMD’s Dragon platform; both use AMD Phenom II CPUs, AMD 790GX chipsets and Radeon HD 4000 series cards.
Made from cardboard, Recompute houses a working computer and is an exercise in sustainability; it ventilates thanks to corrugation and is both easy to disassemble and recycle.
While Patrick Dotimas’ gaming tablet/desktop Asus Stealth doesn’t exactly seem stealthy, his concept presents an interesting form factor: a keyboard that is stowed away when not in use.
Maingear’s Remix workstation is their first for creative professionals; powered by Nehalem/Core i7, buyers can choose between the Quadro FX or the CUDA-enabled CX.
Powered by AMD’s Black Edition processors, the Dell XPS 625 is a boon to AMD loyalists; max things out with a 3.0 GHz Phenom II, dual Radeon HD 4850s and up to 8 GB RAM.
HP’s Firebird desktop arrives 1/9 with two Nvidia 9800s cards in SLI, an integrated GPU for Windows, a Core 2 Quad CPU, liquid cooling system and external PSU to keep things quiet.
Lenovo isn’t known for its desktops, but their all-in-one IdeaCentre A600 makes a splash with a 21.5″ frameless screen a-la iMac, Blu-ray drive and remote that doubles as a VOIP handset.
The 2008 Olympics may be long over, but we’re loving this sweet case mod based off the Beijing Digital building; it’s made with aluminum, wood, UV blue acrylic and UV CCFLs.
