Systemax V7C2 Review
PCs from Systemax are not as common as other brands, so we found only a handful of Systemax V7C2 reviews. However, user comments on Tiger Direct.com are generally positive and note that the system is a very good value.
The Systemax V7C2 only uses an Intel Celeron CPU, which is a lower performance CPU. It includes Windows 7 Home, which is a plus, as well as 3GB of RAM. The hard drive is smaller than average at 320GB. The Systemax V7C2 does have six USB 2.0 ports and support for a 5.1 speaker system, as well as the typical 10/100 Ethernet jack.
If the Systemax V7C2 had an Intel Pentium CPU and a larger hard drive, it would be competitive with other PCs that we discuss in the buying guide. However, at $400, this desktop PC isn't quite as good a value as others we've seen in the same cheap price range.

The Dell Inspiron 580s is a little light on some features but is still a pretty good value overall. The star of this system is the Intel i3-530 CPU but the 320GB hard drive is small compared to most budget PCs. Its six USB ports and 4GB of RAM are pretty standard for desktops in this price range.

In most respects the HP p6710f is an average PC, but this system does sport an ATI Radeon 4200 integrated graphics chip, which is better than what you'll find in most budget desktops. It also has a beefy 1TB hard drive for those who never seem to have enough storage room. Read more »
