    The Good: Best performance in its price category; decent budget gaming PC.

    The Bad: Clunky exterior you'll want to hide under a desk.

    The Bottom Line: Acer's Aspire M5800-U5802A could use some visual polish, but get past its appearance and you'll find a fast, affordable computer that will handle any task you care to throw at it. It's even a decent low-end gaming box. We'd only recommend against this desktop if you demand a computer's appearance match its capabilities.
