PCPRO Recommended

Unfortunately, there is another machine that can rival the PC Specialist, and it costs less. Our A-listed Chillblast Fusion Sidewinder manages a truly impressive 2D benchmark score of 1.88, thanks to some clever overclocking of its 2.4GHZ processor to 3.2GHz. This manages to keep costs down, but speeds up, and all this power can be had for £700 - more than £200 cheaper than the PC Specialist. For this money you still get a perfectly respectable 22in screen and 750GB hard disk - a more than satisfactory compromise considering the far lower price, and racier performance.
