MPC Millennia 940i Dream Machine

The Millennia 940i Dream Machine is a strong performer that will appeal to power users and gamers who are satisfied with bland case design.

Breathtaking 30-inch LCD display. Eight-piece speaker set. Dual optical burners. Seemingly endless amounts of disk space. Great software bundle. Three-year warranty with on-site service

Not quite as easy to repair and upgrade as it could be. Lacks music and photo software and PVR equipment

With its dual burners, bundled version of Pinnacle, and extra-large screen, the 940i is a great option for those looking to create their own DVD movies. It's expensive at $5,999, but if you opt for a 21-inch monitor instead of a 30-inch one, you can...

Lots of storage space; top-of-the-line components; strong 3D performance.

Expensive; noisy.

On the outside, MPC's Millennia 940i Dream Machine looks like a typical tower system, but under the hood, it's all about performance.
