End the gadget madness and put the iPod down

Digital Living Nobody actually spends £2,000 on an Alienware PC "for gaming purposes". We keep gaming handhelds in locked cabinets at home, where they belong. It's not a craze. It's an arms race, and it's going to end badly.

What's the best budget PC for all the family?

Digital Living My kids are asking for a gaming computer this Christmas. They are not big gamers but are approaching teenage years so could be in time. Our stereo is broken so I thought we might as well get one to store CDs on, too.
