Top 20 Budget Desktops

This month's new chart-toppers are fast, cheap, and in full control: Quantex's Celeron-400 is among the fastest budget PCs we've tested, while CyberMax's entry is the cheapest Celeron-400 yet.

  

It was a busy month in the budget segment, with seven new systems making the chart and two--Quantex's QP6/400 M-1c and CyberMax's Entrepreneur C-400--claiming Best Buys. The Quantex is among the fastest Celeron-400 machines we've tested and comes with a 19-inch monitor, a Zip drive, and a 4.8X DVD-ROM drive. The CyberMax, the lowest-price Celeron-400 PC on the chart, also packs a Zip drive. Skimpy documentation and a relatively high price narrowly prevent the speedy Xi 400A MTower SP from earning a Best Buy. Meanwhile, Pentium II­based systems are disappearing from the budget chart; the only new one to make this month's list is Micro Express's MicroFlex-PII/450LC, in eighth place.
