2.4-GHz Celeron D 320 ,
40GB hard drive,
15-inch Dell LCD monitor,
Integrated Intel graphics,
48X CD-ROM,
Price when ranked: $505
Bottom Line: The bundled LCD monitor and printer make up for the system's feeble performance and limited upgrade options (for one thing, there's no AGP slot).

17-inch ViewSonic CRT monitor,
Integrated VIA graphics,
52X CD-RW drive, media card reader,

Bottom Line: It's a high-performance bargain. But the cramped interior would complicate the graphics card upgrade we recommend to help this PC live up to its name.

Integrated Intel graphics,
16X DVD-ROM/48X CD-RW combo drive, media card reader,

Integrated SIS graphics,
16X DVD-ROM/52X combo CD-RW drive, media card reader,

2.66-GHz Celeron D 330 ,
40GB hard drive,
17-inch Daewoo CRT monitor,
Integrated VIA graphics,
DVD±RW drive, 52X CD-RW drive,
Price when ranked: $745
Bottom Line: Having both a DVD burner and a CD burner doesn't make up for the PowerSpec 4988's abysmal performance and relatively high price.
