ViewSonic's 19-inch VG920 anti-glare LCD monitor sports 1280x1024-pixel resolution for vibrant colors, sharp text and clear pictures. It also features 270-nit brightness and 550:1 contrast ratio, and the 8 ms video response time is designed to deliver superior clarity and focus when viewing moving images. It includes a swivel base, but the VG920 is also VESA 100 mm wall-mount compliant for ease in setup and presentation. It also comes with a Kensington security port. All these features are combined with 3-watt, bezel-integrated speakers.

Belkin's Flip lets users share one monitor, keyboard and mouse -- and even one set of speakers -- between two computers, allowing professionals to easily plug their work laptop into their home computer setup. By pressing a small remote, users can switch from one computer to the other. The remote stays on the desk, and the base and cables stay hidden. The unit features a two-color LED that indicates which computer Flip is accessing. It also supports high video resolutions of up to 2048x1536 pixels and monitors with VGA connections.

MPC Computers' ClientPro 212 desktop computer contains an Intel Celeron D, Pentium D or Pentium 4 processor 631 with hyper-threading technology. It has an 80 GB Serial ATA-150 hard drive and up to 667 MHz dual channel DDR2 SDRAM memory. It sports a 24x CDRW/DVD combo drive, integrated gigabit Ethernet, as well as eight USB 2.0, one IEEE1394, one parallel, one serial, PS/2 (keyboard and mouse), one RJ45, VGA, microphone input and stereo in/out ports. The PC's picoBTX ultra-small form factor means its dimensions are just 3.4(H)x11.5(W)x12.6(D) inches.
