As you can see, NextComputing’s strategy for creating an all-in-one PC is simple: just stick a monitor and a handle on the tower, and you’re done. The integrated display is a 17″ LCD screen with a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200. An additional clip-on display is also available, as well as a touchscreen. Specs-wise, NextComputing offers quad-core Intel Core i7 and Xeon CPUs, as well as the 3.33GHz hexa-core Intel Core i7 CPU, and AMD’s Phenom II X4 CPUs. The Radius can be equipped with up to 24GB of DDR3 RAM, and up to 9TB worth of non-hot swappable hard drives, or two hot-swappable drives up to 500GB each. Unfortunately NextComputing didn’t specify which GPUs they have in stock, although they did say that they’re offering both ATI and NVIDIA cards.

Their powerful guts and their monitor means that Radius PCs still have desktop class weight – expect a Radius PC to weigh at least 15lbs. The Radius PC is available in four models – The highly customizable Radius, the gaming-oriented Radius XG, the video-editing machine Radius with Rocket Fuel, and the budget edition Radius LE.

If you’ve never seen the X50 before, it’s really a nice looking little PC. The 1.4-inch (36mm) thick system has a dual-core Intel Atom 330 CPU, and thanks to a pop-out handle, it’s portable enough to carry around like a laptop.

The system has a 15.6-inch diagonal display with a touchscreen that can be used with either your fingertip or a stylus. There’s also a built-in webcam and microphone, stereo speakers, gigabit ethernet, 802.b/g/n wireless networking, and a media card reader. And if you don’t want to put the X50 on your desktop, the system can be easily hung on the wall thanks to a flexible VESA mount.

You can find the barebones version of the Shuttle X50 over at Provantage for $423 (USD). If you’d rather just have one ready to go, they’ve got complete systems, with the Linux version selling for $543, and the Windows version for $634.

The Hybred Gaming PC takes up residence in a custom-built aluminum box, housing both the PC’s motherboard and a 17-inch LCD panel. The system runs on a reasonably speedy Athlon64 3500+ CPU, with graphics powered by an ample nVidia GeForce 6800GT on a PCI-e bus.

In order to keep things cool, Willek separated the power supply from the computer, placing it inside an industrial-strength external case, complete with matching accent lighting.

The whole machine is illuminated by tons of LEDs, which makes it glow a bright orange when the lights go down. I especially dig the glowing Titan aluminum fans which provide plenty of visual interest from the back of the case.

iMac, eat your heart out.

The Averatec All-in-One (AIO) PC looks much like an iMac dressed in black. But under the hood, it’s all about Windows. The system sports a built-in 22-inch LCD monitor and houses all of its brains inside the box, which is only about 2 inches deep.

The AIO is powered by a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E4600 CPU, and comes pre-loaded with Vista Home Premium. The standard config also includes a 320GB hard drive, 2GB of DDR2 RAM and an nVidia GeForce 8400 GPU. There’s also a built-in 1.3 megapixel webcam, and the system includes a wireless keyboard, mouse and MCE remote control in the box.

Expect the Averatec All-in-One PC to start showing up at retailers in the next couple of months, with a MSRP of $1299 USD, $100 more than Apple’s bottom-of-the-line 20-inch iMac.

Leave it to those shmancy European designers to come up with something with a little more style. Designed by Marcel Wanders, the minimal “Theatre + DVD” system, is a simple black wooden table with a full home theatre receiver hidden beneath its surface. The system features a 5.1 surround amplifier, subwoofer and a DVD player. The surround speakers are housed in black “pebble” enclosures that make the whole system seem very “zen.” The subwoofer amplifier is rated at 30 watts RMS and the satellites are rated at just 5 watts per channel. While this certainly won’t blow the roof off your media room, it’s probably sufficient for most smaller living spaces.

Available from Dutch electronic manufacturer, Holland Electro (click on the “Marcel Wanders” link to view the online catalog,) the system is priced at 299 Euros (about $389 USD).

The sets each have a 1366×768 native resolution panel (supporting 480i/p, 576i/p, 720p and 1080i) and an over the air ATSC tuner. Inputs include HDMI, DVI, component, composite and s-video. The 40-inch model is $2899 and the 46-inch model runs $3599. No details were available what kind of on board storage is included or if the sets can be upgraded to Vista.

The first system in the series is the TouchSmart IQ770, featuring a fast, dual-core AMD Turion 64-X2 TL-52 CPU, 2GB of DDR RAM, a 320 GB hard drive and a SuperMulti DVD burner with LightScribe capability. The system comes with Windows Vista Home Premium pre-installed. Also included are a wireless keyboard and mouse, and built in WiFi and Bluetooth network interfaces.

The TouchSmart’s robust media capabilities include NTSC and ATSC tuners for both standard and high-definition (yay!) over-the-air television broadcasts. But the real unique feature of the show is the touch-sensitive 19-inch widescreen LCD screen (1440 x 900 resolution). This allows many of the features of the TouchSmart to be controlled without a mouse or keyboard. The system also integrates a 1.3 megapixel web cam, microphone, stereo speakers, and an 8-in-1 memory card reader.

The system’s dimensions – 18.88″ (l) x 21.77″ (w) x 11.37″ (h) are pretty comparable to those of the 20″ iMac, and unlike the iMac, the display can be adjusted in both angle and height. Apple still may win on styling and OS elegance, but in terms of on-board hardware, the TouchSmart might actually give the iMac a run for its money, with its powerful processing capabilities and more robust on-board media capabilities than the iMac currently offers.

The only real question is whether or not the TouchSmart will be priced competitively, since pricing has not yet been announced.
