PC makers have moved way beyond the old beige box. Here are three machines that offer both megapower and gorgeous design.

ASSETS: Striking brushed aluminum shell with ultraquiet fans. Some pricier models pack dual 2.0GHz G5 processors.
LIABILITIES: All that firepower needs a big, space-eating body to house it.
BOTTOM LINE: Even if you’re not a graphics pro, the G5 makes a power-ful workmate.

POLYWELL POLY 880NF2-2800,
$800-$1,800 ASSETS: With a window in the case and a neon light inside, you can’t get much cooler than this. LIABILITIES: Music fans will want to upgrade the mediocre speakers. BOTTOM LINE: Forget the awkward secret-code name, this system’s a steal.
