Top 20 Budget Desktops

From Unicent's spartan $999 Avanta E333 to Micron's loaded, network-ready ClientPro 400 for $1999, this month's economy machines run the gamut.

This month's budget systems range in price from the bare-bones, 16th-place Unicent Avanta E333 at $999 to the Micron ClientPro 400, which barely missed winning a Best Buy at $1999. Price cuts have turned former power-chart contestants like the ClientPro and the NextPC N6-350 into affordable budget machines. But of the budget Best Buys, only the Micro Express MicroFlex-35A comes in at under $1600, indicating that cheapness alone won't boost a system to the top. The seventh-place CyberMax Enthusiast KII 350 is our top-rated new system this month, thanks to a big 8.4GB hard disk, a DVD-ROM drive, and a low $1149 price. Slow performance and a poor monitor keep it from rising higher.
