- Velocity Micro NoteMagix M17 Ultra
- Velocity Micro reviewI had ordered a very expensive M17 Ultra gaming laptop from Velocity Micro as my little gift to myself this holiday season. Well, I got it last night...To start with, I was a returning customer. My desktop is a Velocity Micro rig, bought in 2007, and I've...

- Velocity Micro Edge Z30 (Intel Core i7)
- We've written about Falcon Northwest's new Core i7-based gaming PC, and now Velocity Micro gets a turn to showcase Intel's new mainstream-priced desktop chip. Our Velocity Micro Edge Z30 review unit comes in at $1,349 and features an overclocked Intel Core i7 860 chip. It also outperforms a pricier Dell...

- Velocity Micro Edge Z-5 (Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 Overclocked)
- Velocity Micro's $999 Edge Z5 is a worthy sub-$1,000 desktop, in particular for those looking for a capable--but affordable--gaming PC. Rather than relying on the off-the-shelf parts for this system, Velocity has applied its savvy as a performance PC vendor to this system, overclocking where appropriate and eschewing most nonessential...

- Dell Studio XPS-122B
- Dell's fixed-configuration Studio XPS-122B is essentially a showcase for Intel's relatively new Core i7 desktop processors. This $999 Dell provides all of the features we expect to find at this price, as well as very aggressive multitasking and multithreaded application performance. The Studio XPS-122B has few frills, but anyone looking...

- Velocity Micro Edge Z-55 (Intel Core i7-920)
- Velocity Micro's Edge Z55 is the second PC we've seen with Intel's new Core i7 processor. This $2,499 gaming desktop is not quite as ambitious as the $8,000 or so Falcon Northwest Mach V, but thanks to the new chip and a smart configuration, the Edge Z55 holds its own...

- Velocity Micro Edge Z15
- Velocity Micro's Edge Z15 midrange gaming desktop is a perfect example of what this mid-sized vendor does best. The sleek, sturdy chassis houses an expertly assembled selection of hardware, and the price and performance compete well with systems from both mainstream vendors and smaller specialty shops. Velocity Micro doesn't attempt...

- Velocity Micro Vector Campus Edition
- We normally have good things to say about Velocity Micro's Campus Edition back-to-school desktops. This year's model, the $999 Vector Campus Edition, leaves us disappointed because of its uninspired configuration. We still find Velocity Micro's desktop design among the best in the industry, and this system's visual appeal and...

- Velocity Micro Edge E2250
- The Velocity Micro Edge E2250 is a well-rounded $1,999 midrange performance PC. What it is not is the best gaming PC at this price, as much as its overclocked quad-core chip and SLI-capable motherboard want you to believe otherwise. The overclocked chip especially helps this system's multimedia performance, but its...

- Dell XPS 630
- We have a feeling that Dell is going to sell a lot of XPS 630 systems. This new midrange desktop brings over many of the features we like about Dell's XPS 720, but in a more manageable size. The price starts at $1,249 at launch, and for that you get...

- Velocity Micro ProMagix E2055
- Even though it has a sharp new case, we're under whelmed by Velocity Micro's $1,500 ProMagix E2055 desktop. Yes, it has a fast dual-core Intel processor that challenges the performance of many quad-core-based PCs, at least on certain tests. It doesn't, however, offer much in the gaming department, at least...

- Velocity Micro's Windows Home Server for power usersPerformance justification questionableIt's interesting that the individual from the Velociy Micro does not know that the Windows Home Server is only able to performe a single backup at a time, or that streaming to several PC's at once is limited by the network...

- HP's new home server is small, smart, and impressively simple
- Earlier this year, I looked at a beta release of Windows Home Server and called it a “home run†for Microsoft. This week, Hewlett Packard announced that it would begin taking orders for its new MediaSmart servers, which are built on the Windows Home Server platform, with actual shipments set to...

- Velocity Micro ProMagix E2240
- We've already reviewed Velocity Micro's ProMagix A50, which is the dual core, Circuit City version of this four-core Best Buy-only ProMagix E2240 midrange gaming system. The two are similar in price ($1,999), design, and configuration. Really, the only significant difference is the performance of the E2240, which, thanks to its...

- Velocity Micro ProMagix A50
- Velocity Micro's new, Circuit City-only ProMagix A50 is a $1,999 dual-core, midrange gaming desktop competing against a slew of quad-core, digital media-oriented PCs that cost significantly less. And while we generally advocate quad-core CPUs over their slightly faster dual-core counterparts, Velocity has equipped the A50 with a fast-enough Core 2...

- Velocity Micro NoteMagix x25
- Since the introduction of the Pentium M, which was designed specifically to lower the power consumption and heat output in mobile computers, the laptop that incorporates a desktop processor has become an extremely rare species. But not extinct: the $1,800 Velocity Micro NoteMagix X25, available in a single fixed configuration...

- Velocity Micro Vector GX Campus Edition (overclocked Core 2 Duo E6320)
- Velocity Micro made a name for itself by turning out custom-crafted, finely tuned, high-end desktops, a few of which it has slipped into Best Buy and, more recently, Circuit City. The company found success by occupying the middle ground between ludicrously expensive PCs from gaming boutiques and cookie-cutter systems from...

- AVADirect Core 2 Duo SLI Gaming System (Intel Core 2 Duo E6700)
- AVADirect's newly updated Core 2 Duo SLI system comes with a $3,600 price tag and a lot to like for a gaming PC. This particular configuration also has a few problems with it, mainly a dual-core rather than a quad-core CPU, as well as a seizure-inducing front-panel fan controller. You...

- Maingear F131 SLI (Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600)
- Maingear's new F131 SLI gaming PC comes at our recent Velocity Micro Editors' Choice winner strong and hard. Both are equally well-designed, and while the Maingear is a bit more expensive at $4,200, it also includes a few features the Velocity Micro lacks, at least in the PC it sent...

- Velocity Micro ProMagix E2230
- We've already written about Velocity Micro's lower-end Best Buy PC; now we take a look at the ProMagix E2230, a more ambitious $2,100 desktop. Like the less-expensive E2035, the higher-end E2230 combines a dual-core Intel CPU and a Nvidia graphics card to skew toward those looking for a decent gaming...
