Reviewed on September 8, 2008Velocity Micro's Edge Z15 represents one of the best deal's we've seen this year in midrange gaming PCs. It has all the power necessary to play current games (even Crysis) at smooth frame rates, and its clean, spacious interior gives you plenty of upgrade room. We recommend this system to any PC gamer looking for a sub-$2,000 desktop.TAGS:Maingear, Velocity Micro, Dell XPS, ATI Radeon, video card, ATI Technologies, PC
Reviewed on February 26, 2008With its second full-fledged gaming PC, Dell shows that it understands the mainstream gaming desktop as well as the high-end. The Dell XPS 630 delivers everything a gamer would want in a sub-$2,000 PC, from its components, to its case, to its powerful software. We've seen no better system in this newly competitive category.TAGS:Velocity Micro, quad-core, Intel Core 2 Duo, Dell XPS, CPU, Gateway Inc., dual-core, video card, games, Intel
Reviewed on February 1, 2004Aimed at performance-hungry gamers, with an overclocked processor and a host of impressive components, this is the most powerful Prescott system so far.TAGS:Velocity Micro, manual
Reviewed on February 8, 2006The Velocity Micro Raptor 64 DualX delivers the build quality, the component choices, and the value we hope to find in a high-end gaming PC, but due to some newly discovered power issues, you'll need to think carefully about your configuration and gaming demands.TAGS:Velocity Micro
Reviewed on May 16, 2005Featuring an overclocked, dual-core processor, a blazing graphics card, and a smart trio of hard drives, the Velocity Micro ProMagix DCX is a serious digital-content-creation PC with a serious price tag.TAGS:Velocity Micro
Reviewed on February 25, 2008Not every PC has to be a decent gaming box, but regardless, we expect them to be priced appropriately. Velocity Micro's ProMagix E2055 looks great and does well on some tests, but its gaming scores and its overall bang-for-the-buck fall short.TAGS:Velocity Micro, Intel Core 2 Duo, Dell XPS, quad-core, Nvidia GeForce, Intel, Gateway Inc., CPU, PC, games
Reviewed on October 31, 2003The Raptor Extreme Edition provides a delicious computing experience, provided you can stomach the price tag.TAGS:Velocity Micro
Reviewed on February 12, 2007Velocity Micro's first full-fledged home theater PC pulls very few punches in providing a complete digital media experience. It's big, it lacks a built-in audio receiver, and it invites PC gaming into the living room, which has never been the best fit. It's also the victim of a few Vista-related growing pains. On balance, though, Velocity Micro has as complete a home theater PC as we've seen.TAGS:Velocity Micro, home theater PC, CableCard, Blu-ray, NVidia, Microsoft Windows Vista, PC, movie, games, video, Microsoft Windows
Reviewed on January 5, 2007We have one major issue with the Velocity Micro Raptor Signature Edition (the price), and two minor ones (it's loud, for one), but those aside, this is one of the most feature-complete high-end desktops we've reviewed. Its performance is media-creation- and game-minded, and anyone buying it for those or almost any other purposes won't be disappointed.TAGS:Velocity Micro, quad-core, Alienware, video card, PC, hard drive
Reviewed on March 18, 2004The Velocity Micro Vision FX AVD serves up the features and the performance needed for digital-video creation.TAGS:Velocity Micro, manual
Reviewed on September 19, 2007With the same elegant design as its 20-inch, 2.4GHz sibling, the 24-inch, 2.8GHz iMac offers 30 percent more screen area and a modest performance boost. The iMac competes with the PC desktop market now better than perhaps any previous Mac to date, but the added cost of the larger, faster model might put off some buyers--especially if you are a gamer or an upgrade enthusiast.TAGS:Apple iMac, Velocity Micro, Apple Computer, configuration, hard drive, multimedia, Microsoft Windows, video
