Austere is the new brash, and nothing yells 'look at me' more than understated elgance.

Gigabyte is much better known as a manufacturer of motherboards than it is 3D graphics cards. It has, however, tried its hand with reasonable success - in the consumer graphics market, and the GF-3200TF is its latest offering.

An adequate Media Centre PC, but Asus’ competitor blows it out of the water.

This monitor was physically identical in every way to the AOpen F75PS, aside from the Gigabyte badging on the front bezel.

John Gillooly takes a ride with the limousine version of ATI’s luxury card.

Compared with some other VIA KT400A boards, the Gigabyte 7VAXP Ultra is a little pricey; however it’s also the most feature-packed.

Gigabyte's new Canterwood-based GA-8KNXP is, without a doubt, one of the most full-featured motherboards we've ever seen. It incorporates all of the basics offered by the MSI 865PE Neo2 (see below) plus more. The differences between the older 845 and new 865 (Springdale) and 875 (Canterwood) chipsets are primarily feature-based – the 875P is designed to be the ultra-high-end option for extreme power users. As such, it's more expensive but has more niche capabilities.

Last month we reviewed Microsoft's Bluetooth-enabled keyboard and mouse (January 2002, page 52), and at $399 we deemed it more worthy as a Bluetooth starter kit than a wireless keyboard and mouse kit.

A quirky, tool-free case with decent features.

All hail the successor to the mighty mid-range 6600!

Given NVIDIA's close development with id Software on Doom 3 we weren't all that surprised to see a member of the undead emblazoned across the front of the packaging, but we were surprised to find a treat inside.

ATI is the current market leader in graphics chips, and offers four varieties of DirectX 9-capable video cards; these are the company's most sophisticated products when it comes to 3D rendering.

Another of the RADEON 9200 cards in this round-up. Returning almost identical results to the Auriga 9200, this is an average performer, bundled with an outdated game.

Rumours of an ASUS -Gigabyte takeover scotched, but this is the next best thing.

Designed with portability in mind, this notebook is slim, sexy and versatile, enabling basic office usage, DVD playback or even some weekend gaming.
