Hasta La Gadget!

Averatec’s 25.5-inch D1200 a bit too large for your tastes (or your bantam desk)? Fret not, as the very same company is today issuing a 22-inch version with similar specs. Speaking of which, the admittedly stylish all-in-one machine packs a 2.5GHz Core 2 Duo E5200 processor, a WXGA panel, 3GB of DDR2 RAM, a 320GB SATA hard drive, slot-loading DVD burner, X4500HD graphics, WiFi, gigabit Ethernet and a 2 megapixel webcam. Vista Home Premium is the OS included, but the whole rig will only set you back $799. If you’re already sold, you can place your order today at a variety of non-shady e-tailers.

Budget PC manufacturer eMachines has released a new all-white budget desktop in a mini-tower form factor, priced from $299 to $449. The computers come with a matching white-trim keyboard and LCD monitor with a 1366×768 resolution. There are three models in the line, from the cheapest ET1810-01 to the most expensive ET1300-02. As for computing power in these sleek desktops, these are exactly the type of computers that eMachines is known for. Expect budget performance and affordable prices.

Specs after the jump.

Just a few short weeks after eMachines outed its EL1300 line of SFF PCs, the company is hitting us up again with a new trio of full-size desktops. The ET1300-02, ET1810-01 and ET1810-03 are all encased within a luminous white mini-tower and ship with a matching LCD monitor, speakers and a keyboard. As for specs, the $449.99 ET1300-02 checks in with an AMD Athlon X2 4850e (2.5GHz) CPU, Vista Home Premium, NVIDIA’s GeForce G100 (512MB), 3GB of DDR2 memory, a 160GB hard drive, 18x SuperMulti DVD burner, multicard reader, HDMI / DVI / VGA outputs and an 18-inch E182H display. The $369.99 ET1810-03 steps to a 2.2GHz Pentium E2210 CPU, GeForce 7500 integrated graphics and just a single VGA port, while the $299.99 ET1810-01 cranks it down to a 1.6GHz Celeron 420 and 2GB of DDR2 RAM. The trio should be filtering out to respected retailers as we speak.

Sure, these days, it can be pretty hard to get super-stoked over a casemod… after all, they’re basically a dime a dozen. We’re always impressed with the crazy ones though, and this one — the Edelweiss (possibly named after our least-favorite song and flower) really takes the crazy and turns it up to 11. We’re not even sure what’s going on, to be honest, but we can assure you of this much: we’re really, really fond of it. Two more shots after the break.

It’s the last day of Dell’s “10 Days of Deals” promotion, bringing you significant savings to start off the summer. (How’s that for alliteration?) The following offers can be had until June 25 at 6 a.m. Central Time.

I own a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop and absolutely love it. I bought it last year for around $600. But you’re going to get an even better deal than I did. Dell’s Inspiron 15 notebook is being offered for just $499. You get 3GB of memory, 320GB of hard drive space, and a 6-cell battery. You even have the option of sticking with Windows XP.

If what you’re looking for is a desktop with an Intel Pentium Dual-Core processor, 3GB of memory, and a 320GB hard drive, then look no further than the $349 Dell Inspiron 537 desktop.

Maybe my dream of owning an HDTV will come true sooner than I thought? Dell is also offering the Sony Bravia 46″ KDL46V5100 120Hz HDTV for $1,349. This energy-efficient HDTV offers 1080p, 1,920-by-1,080 resolution, a 50000:1 contrast ratio, and three HDMI inputs.

The final deal of the day is the Sony PSP 2000 for $110; that’s 35-percent off the original price. This handheld gaming console is equipped with 64MB of internal memory, a 4.3-inch LCD screen with a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, and built-in Wi-Fi. It’s also sleeker and lighter than the original PSP, and earned a rating of 4 out of 5 by PCMag.
