- Maingear Pulse
- PC gamers demand speed, a pursuit that--at least with current technology--runs directly counter to the idea of saving energy.

- Shuttle XPC H7 5800
- You can find plenty of small form factor gaming systems out there, notably from Falcon Northwest and Maingear, but the Shuttle XPC H7 5800 might be the smallest chassis we know of that still supports multiple graphics cards. As much as we credit Shuttle for loading up its small H7...

- Falcon Northwest FragBox 2 (Intel Core i7)
- When we last left the FragBox 2, Falcon Northwest swore up and down that its small-form-factor gaming PC wouldn't use Intel's Core i7 chips due to a lack of compatible, appropriately sized motherboards. Based on this new, $3,261 version of the FragBox 2, which does indeed come equipped with a...

- Maingear X-Cube (AMD Phenom II X4 940)
- Rather than simply reissue the same case with updated specs, Maingear has redesigned its small form factor X-Cube gaming desktop wholesale. The result is a new, larger case that maintains the compact nature of PCs in this niche, but also lends this system a surprising degree of internal space. Our...

- HP Firebird 803 with VoodooDNA
- We suspect many hard-core PC gamers will be turned off by the HP Firebird 803 ("with VoodooDNA", according to the official product name) because it lacks upgradeability. Fair enough. For everyone else who might consider spending $2,099 on a gaming desktop, you will find it awfully hard to turn away...
