We set the specs and the price and had a look at what Australia's PC vendors could come up with in terms of performance.
Featuring Intel's new 865 chipset, the Dimension 4600C's case is big on features, though future upgrades are limited.
The GX270 isn't cutting edge, but it's enough ahead of the game to make it a worthwhile buy for enterprise customers.
Developed under the name Springdale, the 865 chipset brings the same high-end Intel desktop technology to mainstream PCs and corporate systems.
Dell's new mainstream Dimension 4700 is an affordable, forward-looking PC that's well suited for the home or the small office.
Dell's OptiPlex SX280 is a business desktop PC featuring Intel's 915G Express Chipset, PCI Express, DDR2 memory and an optional "all-in-one" stand for its small form factor.
