This week, we look at five desktop computers that represent the best in their classes. Oh, yes! Desktop computers, my friend. They are still kicking! Don't let those Netbook-toting hipsters tell ya different.

As usual, there is a lame prize, and this one is quite special. And probably quite lame. So watch the video, and get the question, then post your answer below. If you are one of the first ten people to get it right, you're entered in the drawing to win.

Last week's answer: Rob Glaser.

Also, desktops get their due! Mine is custom but I routinely find myself drooling over such nice offerings from Maingear, VM, and Falcon NW.; Like this Reply to this comment
