Top 100 Intro: Entertainment PCs Take Center Stage

Our new Top 5 Entertainment PCs chart features one model with a lot of flash--and a sky-high price.

  

Increasingly, the line separating office PCs from home PCs has become blurred. That's why, starting this month, we've revised our desktops coverage to focus on one Top 15 chart--split into power and value sections--for all mainstream desktop computers. In addition, each month we will feature a supplemental Top 5; this second chart will rotate among entertainment, corporate, and budget systems.

The Voodoo Egad Obsidian Black, with its eye-catching case and fluorescent blue light, is one of the flashier models to make our first Top 5 Entertainment PCs chart. But at nearly $6000, it is also the costliest.

Freelance writers Dan Littman, Mick Lockey, and Carla Thornton, and PC World reviews editors Richard Baguley, Tracey Capen, Seán Captain, Lisa Cekan, Rebecca Freed, Alexandra Krasne, Kalpana Narayanamurthi, and Melissa J. Perenson contributed to the Top 100 section this month. Ulrike Diehlmann, Julio Giannobile, Elliott Kirschling, Jeff Kuta, Tony K. Leung, and Thomas Luong of the PC World Test Center performed testing on the products reviewed in this section, with logistical support provided by Julian Weatherby.
