Medion M3Director 5100 Review

- The Medion M3Director 5100 is a gray minitower that would suit a den or a small home office. Even with integrated sound--no fancy audio card here--the M3Director still packs plenty of aural punch. The unit can handle surround sound, though our configuration included only a 2.1-channel speaker system with a mini-subwoofer. The latter sounds great; you can control it with a volume wheel on the multimedia keyboard.
