TheTechLounge crew have been hard at work (they were working so hard, they sent us the email twice ;) ) to get their mid-range buyer's guide up in time for the holidays. If the PC geek in your life is looking for an upgrade this holiday season, you're sure to find some ideas to stuff their stocking here.

"The goal of this guide is to outline an entire mid-range computer system for around $1,500. This includes the internal hardware, input devices, monitor and speakers (everything but an OS). The components we have chosen for this system are what we consider to be good all-around products with the best bang for the buck."
