CyberPower Liquid Gamer Infinity SLI

For what you're getting, the Liquid Gamer Infinity SLI is incredibly good value for money

Stunningly overclocked; Stability; Impressive price ; Water-cooled

Not the quietest kid on the block

The last great bit of news about this system is the price. Admittedly this could never be described as cheap, but for what you're getting, it's still incredibly good value for money

IT-Partner XTD 2450

The XTD has a touch of the pug-ugly Apache gunship about it, all angular lines and matte-black functionality

Decent price/performance; Quality choice of components; Solid aesthetics

Would have liked more storage

With a setup like this, it'll only be a matter of switching GPUs a little further down the line when a worthy successor arrives, but you'll be happy as Larry on Larry-Day until then

PC Specialist Apollo V930 Pro

This little lot is yours to take home for just £600 ? a fruitful investment!

Great value; Good selection of software; Quad core; Fantastic monitor

Basic case; Underwhelming power supply

We would have liked to have seen a better PSU and a 22-inch monitor, as sold with many other PC Specialist systems, but in the value-for-money stakes £600 gets you a lot of PC kit. Your total ownership cost of such a machine - making small upgrades and wh

Philips Media Centre PC LRPC7500

The effortlessly stylish Streamium LRPC7500 can be stacked either horizontally or vertically

Stylish; Easy and good quality streaming; DVD burner

Single DVB tuner; No HDMI output

Ultimately, the PVR integration within WMC is limited. Try and control set-top boxes and you'll enter a world of compatibility pain. Better options exist elsewhere. The single DVB tuner means you can't watch one channel via the PC while recording another

Computer Planet Intel Core 2 Duo System (Custom)

Where are the peripherals, you might be wondering- The simple -- if disappointing -- answer is that there aren-'t any

Quality components; Powerful performer

Pricey; Unattractive styling; Noisy cooling system

Gaming is possible here, but the latest and greatest creations are beyond it. Overall, some good components here, but it should be a whole lot cheaper

Shuttle XPC P2 3700G

Don't let the diminuitive size fool you, this system packs a wallop

Mini gamer; Quality chipset

Pricey full system; Better and cheaper GPUs

This XPC would be perfect as a gaming media centre with a slight change of graphics card and a newer, 45nm quad-core chip. The only real sticking point is the price; for £800 you can pick up the P35P2 Pro barebones and fill it yourself with cheaper, but e

Shuttle XPC Prima Series SX38P2 Pro

We'd recommend the SX38P2 for any gamer after a small rig

X38 Express chipset; Single height CrossFire; Cleverly designed

Limited PSU power

It's a powerhouse, simple to upgrade and easy to lug around for LAN gaming. Admittedly, you are shelling out £450 for just a case, motherboard and PSU, but you'd be hard pressed to find a better box

Advance Tec AT-FX Triple SLi rig

The case looks the part, and barely a whisper is heard thanks to the Coolermaster's neat acoustic design

Triple SLI goodness; Well-built, Excellent performance; Good value for the price???

--- but it--'s a hefty price

If you have the cash, it's a winner

PC Next Day Zoostorm Core 2 Duo E6550 zStyle

The all-white look is a bold style statement that the Zoostorm just about pulls off

Striking, sleek design; Brilliant monitor; TV tuner;

Dodgy wireless client; Basic graphics; Noisy

However, you may want to consider the upgrade options on the online build form before you commit, of which sellers like PCNextday are happy to discuss

CyberPower Gamer Infinity XT Elite

This system is a great gaming choice

Gorgeous styling; Great speakers; Powerful performance; 3 year warranty

Noisy; Keyboard and mouse could be better

Fortunately, this won't cost you too much. On the other hand, extras like the best warranty (three-year return-to-base) are more than adequate compensation, making this system a great gaming choice
