PC Configs - November 2009 Edition

As with any other tech media, we're constantly asked about the best desktop configurations to go for when buying an assembled PC. So instead of answering every question individually, here are some of our recommended configurations, with prices for various types of Home Desktop PCs.

Of course none of the configurations are an absolute, so please feel free to add, remove or change components according to your needs or preferences. All configs are clearly specific to the category we've put them under.
