We get to wrap up the school/work week with a look at a pair of prebuilt systems that take different approaches to computing. The first system is the iBUYPOWER Paladin XLC Phantom Series which comes equipped with a water-cooled Intel Core i7-930 and ATI Radeon HD 5830 1GB video card in its base configuration. The other system is an all-in-one from Lenovo called the ThinkCenter M90z with integrated graphics and a 3.2GHz Core i5-650 processor. If building a quiet system, such as a home theater PC, is on your list of things to do, check out the Seasonic X Series 400W fanless power supply.
