Apple iMac 800MHz PowerPC G4 review

		Product	Date	Editors' Rating	Members' Rating	Price
		ASUS Eee Box Despite a few useful features, the ASUS Eee Box is a novelty at best. It can't come close to the performance and robustness of even the most basic standard budget PC, while a low-end notebook can do everything it can do and more. The appeal of the Eee PC does not carry over to the Eee Box.	04 Aug 2008	5.8		£199
		NComputing L230 NComputing's L230 thin client is an option if you need to add a group of low-impact users to an existing Ethernet LAN. However, you'll need to ensure that the host PC is adequately specified to deliver acceptable performance to the terminals attached to it.	10 Mar 2008	7.0		£129
		Aleutia E1 The Aleutia E1 is a creditable effort at creating a compact, low-power desktop computer. However, the current hardware platform seems a little underpowered for anything other than the most basic tasks.	21 Feb 2008	6.0		£179
		Inveneo Computing Station The Inveneo Computing Station delivers reasonably good performance for a low-power PC. It's small, but an untidy assembly means it could be more convenient to handle.	19 Feb 2008	7.0		£241
		NComputing X300 NComputing's X300 provides a cost-effective way to hang up to six terminals off a single desktop PC using low-power, secure, easy to administer and quiet access terminals. It's not for power users, but is well suited to schools, business workgroups, libraries, internet cafés and suchlike.	14 Feb 2008	7.0		£149
		NEC PowerMate VL370 NEC's PowerMate VL370 is a solid and reasonably priced business PC, although plenty of other vendors offer similar products at similar prices.	25 Jan 2008	7.0		£329

		Shuttle SD39P2 A barebone PC isn’t for everyone, but Shuttle has made the SD39P2 almost foolproof by supporting good components, although the lack of support for AMD processors will disappoint some.	31 Jul 2007	8.0		£271.5
		Alienware MJ-12 8550i Available in single- and dual-processor configurations and featuring up to eight total processing cores, the Xeon-based MJ-12 8550i should deliver plenty of performance. But although it’s a solid system with immaculate build quality, similar-specified workstations can be had for less money.	27 Jun 2007	8.0		£1497
