With Windows 7 just around the corner you’re bound to be hit with the deluge of new computing hardware hitting the market that makes use of many of the operating system’s features.

The Dell Studio One goes for the all-in-one approach and tosses in a touchscreen so you can smudge your screen and not get so worked up about it. It even packs an Intel Pentium E5200 processor paired along side Nvidia’s GeForce 9400M so you can expect decent performance…just not anything ground breaking.

A nifty machine that mixes decent hardware which makes it a nice office/productivity/stick in the kitchen PC.

The all-in-one computer design goes through two distinct phases: popular and forgotten, of course with a whole host of new hardware floating around the new AIO lineup is looking more interesting than ever should you want computing in every nook and cranny.

HardwareZone takes a look at the Dell Vostro 320 All-In-One computer which is more than powerful enough to handle the sort of tasks you’d expect out of this sort of machine:

Billed as an All-in-One desktop, the Dell Vostro 320 packs in an Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 Wolfdale processor that’s clocked at 2.80GHz. Also, the unit comes packed with 2GB DDR2 RAM and a puny 160GB HDD. That’s not a lot of space for sure, but it’s designed for the regular office users and should be sufficient for daily work use.

A nice enough design and it even sports a VESA mount so you can truly clear off your desktop.

Shuttle has had a long string of successful mini-PC designs and could be counted on creating something powerful, and quite toasty, in an insanely small form factor. This time around they’ve taken a different approach.

The Shuttle X50 All-In-One PC crams Intel’s Atom 330 dual-core CPU into a rather svelte machine that would fit into most any location. Think Computers has a look:

This is for sure an All-in-One computer! The entire thing basically looks like an overly-large monitor or TV. Let’s start with the screen on the X50 it is a 15.6-inch widescreen panel giving you a maximum resolution of 1366 x 768. One thing that set’s the X50 apart from other nettop’s is that this screen is actually a touch screen, although it is single touch, unlike the HP TouchSmart PC.

Perfect for the kitchen or…well anywhere you need a bit of computing action.

Cooling off your computer’s processor provides plenty of benefits, namely extending the chip’s life and, for the enthusiast, a bit of extra headroom before a processor overheats during yet another overclocking session. Years ago, most people struggled with massive air-cooled heatsinks but, increasingly, water cooling is entering as a solid cooling alternative that is nearly free of the fear of liquids mingling near expensive electronics.

CoolIT Systems specializes in creating pre-assembled water cooling kits. The company’s Domino A.L.C. is an entry level kit designed to cool off your system’s processor and represents an interesting and inexpensive introduction into the water cooling world. We’ll be taking a look at the cooler and what it can do for your PC.
