Asus ET2700INTS
Asus' 27-inch all-in-one aims to be as flexible as possible: it's a desktop processor and a hard drive, but it has mobile graphics; it's a touchscreen, but with video inputs and a single TV tuner. We can't help but feel that all this flexing sprained it along the way. 1

Alienware X51
The X51 is a beast in a tiny box. You sacrifice on your upgrade path by getting something this small, but if you're after something tiny that still manages to be a decent gaming machine, this could pique your interest. 3

Toshiba Qosmio DX730
Unless you want the HDMI in, the Toshiba Qosmio DX730 simply doesn't do well enough for the asking price. HP's Touchsmart 520 is a better quality product — and AU$400 cheaper.

HighPoint RocketU 1144A
If you don't want to wait for Intel to catch up, HighPoint's RocketU 1144A is an excellent way to get into USB 3.0 now. 1

HP TouchSmart 520
The TouchSmart 520 doesn't achieve anything that TouchSmarts before it haven't already. Still, unimpressive touch capability aside, it makes a decent all-in-one touch product worth checking out if the size and price fit your needs.

Hitachi G-Drive Slim (500GB)
If you have limited physical storage space, the G-Drive slim will appeal greatly to you. Given the OS X focus, we'd imagine it'll be some time before we see this with a USB 3.0 interface — yet we await that day with baited breath.

Dell Inspiron One 2320
We can't say that touch on the desktop has ever appealed to us — but as a simple all-in-one, the Inspiron One does just fine.

Razer Naga (Molten Special Edition)
The Naga is aimed at a select crowd, but it definitely has its appeal. If you just can't get enough buttons for your WoW raids, this could be your ticket to success.

SteelSeries Sensei
The Sensei is a phenomenal mouse. It's a testament to its performance that despite having woefully horrible button customisation and macro support, it's still one of our favourite mice.
-
Razer DeathAdder
The DeathAdder is truly a classic, one that some hardcore players will never walk away from. Razer's software needs an update, however, to bring it into the current age, and if you have wrist problems you may wish to look for a smaller mouse. 1
