    CNET Review

    June 16, 2006

    The Good: Dual-core AMD processor; dual video cards and a TV tuner in a tiny package; peripherals included in price.

    The Bad: Generic case is a bore; online support is skimpy; older socket 939 CPU.

    The Bottom Line: If you need a small-form-factor PC that can play 3D games and record TV while also giving you the ability to tinker, don't let the PC Club Enpower Media Center Xpress Special Edition's plain exterior fool you--this is one little system that comes up big in many areas.
