Digital Storm 950Si (Intel Core i7)

The $3,636 950Si is the first PC we've reviewed from Digital Storm, and for the most part we've come away impressed. The system itself came with an overclocked, but more importantly stable Intel CPU, and but for a minor design flaw it seems competently built. Digital Storm could have pushed...

AVADirect Custom Gaming PC

A dirty secret of gaming PC reviews is that vendors frequently try to submit systems with aggressive overclocking that they won't actually sell because of poor reliability, but that will last long enough to score well on our benchmarks. Imagine our skepticism when this $2,900 AVADirect Custom Gaming PC showed...

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.

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...

Even though lots of vendors offer the capability, we've resisted reviewing a three-way SLI PC until now. Our hesitation had to do with a desire to keep the high-end PCs we reviewed at or around the $6,000 mark, hard to do with $1,800 worth of graphics cards alone. But last...
