Top 20 Budget Desktops

Price cuts keep Micro Express and Gateway among the Best Buys, while Dell and NEC fill out the fab five.

  

At first glance, the new budget chart might look like a twin of last month's chart: The same impressive systems from Micro Express, Gateway, Dell, and NEC still rule Best Buy territory, thanks partly to substantial price cuts. Just one new system, Micro Express's MicroFlex C400A, a Pentium II-400 machine, cracks the top five. It offers a winning combination of PII-400 speed, good features, and a low price. For the first time, meanwhile, a Pentium II-450 system finds its way onto the budget chart: Sneaking in at number 20, IDot.com's $1998 Entrepreneur BX450 is the second-cheapest PII-450 system we've seen. (The new ProGen Polaris PII-450 is priced at $1879, but it failed to make the Top 20.)
