I've purchased several Atlantic media centers in this same exact style and design in the past. They've always been a great value for the money, provided a solid product, and looked good enough on a wall to blend in with my other furniture. The capacity...

It's always a good sign when your reviewer expects your product to cost more than it does. The first thing we thought when we peeled this out of its protective packaging was "this'll probably be worth about £200." In fact, it will set you back just £130

Also unusual is the presence of S-video, composite video and analogue stereo inputs, and two sets to boot. They allow you to connect other video sources, such as a cable or Sky set-top box and, if you connect an IR blaster lead or two, you can...

For anyone who has already bought into the SageTV lifestyle, the HD Theater is a great way to connect more rooms to the media hub. However, we can’t recommend the HD Theater if you haven’t already purchased SageTV. We’d rather run the more-polished and...

This is an average storage tower. It worked fine for my needs, but if you have a lot of things you want stored buy a larger storage unit.

I have had this PC for about 8 months. So far I have been very happy with it. This is my first computer with an AMD Processor and I think it is better than any intel product I have owned. Came with 8 GB of Ram which is nice. All I have done is upgraded...

As we presented in the previous installment, the encoding quality performed by the studios that submit their content to download services like iTunes can vary greatly. Individual DVDs and Blu-Ray discs can also vary in quality between movies depending...

Overall, I like the machine. The one I bought came bundled with Office 2007 (Home and Student). I also like the media card reader. I was surprised to find an unadvertised function. There is a single IDE port hidden on the motherboard. This allows the...

We didn't like this system's monitor, but in other respects the T6536 delivered decent performance and a reasonable set of features at a very attractive price

After a few months, the computer failed to recognize Blu-Ray discs and customer service was of no help. In fact, they ended up telling me I should go out and buy another company's Blu-Ray software to use on the machine. They drop the ball and totally...

The 512MB of RAM is perhaps a little skimpy, and a WorldBench score of 87 is merely so-so. But the Hi-Grade DMS II is designed for its Media Center functionality rather than its general capabilities - and for that purpose, it's very effective and...

A cheap, small media centre that has a few problems with under-the-hood grunt, but mostly operates quite well.

I was a long-time fan of HP because they provided excellent warranty service and telephone tech support. Before you buy from them be aware this has changed. The quality of tech support has declined dramatically. Calls now automatically go to...

No help from its creator, HP. I am now seeking a replacement for this HP monster and avoid HP PC's at all cost.

The HP M9040N Elite appears to have the right mix of parts upon first inspection of the technical specifications, but the overall product is a disappointment at the performance level. I have a year old Dell Inspiron 530 Core2Quad that can run circles...

Inexpensive system contains low-end components that delivered lackluster performance.

This desktop is state of art as of 05/2009.Tons of memory and extremely fast. The graphics are superb. HP software makes setting up, securing, tranfering and storing data so simple that even the newest pc'er should be elated. Gamers will be happy with...
