3. PC Specialist MPC-2100

• Reviewed on: 11 May 12
• RRP: £539 inc. VAT
• Rating:

The PC Specialist MPC-2100's performance is more than adequate and feels very speedy thanks to that 120GB SSD. It is however a little pricey compared to the competition.

2. Apple Mac mini (MId 2011)

• Reviewed on: 12 January 12
• RRP: £896 inc. VAT
• Rating:

Ultra-compact in size, ultra-low in power consumption, and crucially quiet to use, the Apple Mac mini makes a compelling media centre when matched with the right peripherals and software. Its performance is much faster than a box this size deserves and the built-in graphics card provides gaming horsepower too.

The Fusion Obsidian combines a long-term favourite budget motherboard with the latest Ivy Bridge processor from Intel allowing the PC to achieve superb performance at an excellent price.
