THE GOOD
Decent performance for the money; case provides plenty of room for future upgrades; lots of configuration options means you can tailor the system to your specific needs.

THE BAD
iBuyPower neglected to include a Wi-Fi card, which is a standard feature; no option for Blu-ray or HD DVD drive; larger than other living-room PCs, so it might be a cramped fit with you're A/V rack; an auxiliary display on the case would be useful.

THE BOTTOM LINE
The Vista-based iBuyPower 640 is a good bet for PC enthusiasts on a shoestring budget who are looking to add a PC to their home theater and don't mind (or look forward to) tweaking and upgrading the system as they go.
