New HP Desktop with 1TB of storage and Wi-Fi
If you have a home network and share out your internet to multiple PCs at the same time and would like to get a new PC that can take advantage of Wi-Fi then take a look at the new HP Pavilion P6512 from John Lewis (link) for £549.95.

High capacity and high speed – VelociRaptor 6Gb/s
Solid state disk drives are great if you want super fast storage but once you leave the 128GB mark they just get into silly money (at least for most people).
So what if you are a enthusiast PC gamer who wants the fastest load times but wants to keep the budget at around £1,000?
It must be time for the new and greatly improved 6Gb/s Western Digital VelociRaptors.
Available now from Computer Planet (link) in any compatible PC and from Novatech (link) as a upgrade to your PC these new hard drives have double the transfer speed of the previous generation and a capacity of up to 600GB.
So what makes the VelociRaptor so special?
While most normal Desktop PC hard drives would spin at either 5,400rpm or 7,200rpm the VelociRaptor spins at a massive 10,000rpm; furthermore it comes with the latest SATA-III connector (which is why you need to be sure your motherboard is compatible) allowing for up to 6GB/s of transfer speed.
Asus goes into the world of i7 Notebook Gaming
If you are looking for a portable gaming PC with a large 17.3” LED screen and all the latest technology (including Blu Ray and e-SATA) then the Asus N71JQ Notebook PC is the quad core powered monster PC you are looking for.
As you might expect such performance comes at a price however with a complementary 2 year warranty included Laptops Direct (link) still manage to keep the price down to £118.96.
Core features include the powerful Intel i7 Quad Core processor, dedicated ATI gaming graphics and 4GB of high speed DDR3 RAM making this PC designed for the world of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and future games like Crysis 2.
Budget quad core processing from AMD
If you are looking for a PC with a AMD quad core Processor and plenty of storage space then look no further than the Sigma GT3 from Cube 247 (link).

Storage comes in the form of a 500GB hard drive and there is always the option to upgrade to a even larger 2TB if you think you need that much storage space.
The 4GB of RAM gives you plenty of room to keep multiple applications open at the same time and while it would be nice to see the latest DDR3 RAM in this PC some allowance does need to be made for the low price.
