    Take a look at that computer. I understand it’s not going to look quite that jet-black in real life, but come on. If you were an evil genius and you were outfitting headquarters, you can streamline both your hideout and your purchasing process by getting a bunch of these. Black and imposing, yet fast enough to crunch those evil numbers your henchmen are always dealing with.

    It’s no jaw-dropper spec-wise: a Core2 Duo E5200 at 2.5GHz, 3GB of RAM, and integrated graphics. For $799 you can’t expect too much, especially considering it comes with a 22″ display and slot loading DVD-R drive. It’s got wireless built-in, so you can just plug it in and you’re good to go.

    Honestly, for a quick-access PC in the living room or whatever, this would probably be a great choice. Nobody will ever tell you it’s ugly, and it’ll do anything you need to to do besides play games. I question its HD video capability, but it’s hard to say one way or the other.
