ReviewsDell XPS 630
Reviewed on February 26, 2008 With 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. -
ReviewsGateway GT5674
Reviewed on June 13, 2008 The Gateway GT5674 is a low-cost quad-core desktop that delivers excellent bang for the buck. The problem is, most mainstream users don't need four processing cores and can get away with a dual-core PC for even less. -
ReviewsGateway FX7020
Reviewed on January 29, 2008 Gateway's FX7020 matches an AMD quad-core CPU and a fast Nvidia graphics card to make a compelling gaming PC, with some basic multimedia features to boot. Upgraders looking for a deal might wish Gateway had added a beefier power supply, but as is, this is a fine PC for its price. -
ReviewsGateway FX7026
Reviewed on June 25, 2008 The Gateway FX7026 offers a quad-core processor at a modest price tag with specifications that any high-end gamer will be satisfied with. You might want to replace the peripherals and the video card down the road, but this system is an excellent option for a nonconfigurable, off the shelf desktop. -
ReviewsHP Pavilion m8120n Media Center TV
Reviewed on July 11, 2007 The HP Pavilion Media Center m8120n boasts a quad-core Intel processor and outstanding overall performance, particularly for the price. Media consumers and creators alike will love its speed and AV connections but may rue the lack of a next-gen optical drive. -
ReviewsVelocity Micro ProMagix E2240
Reviewed on November 5, 2007 Velocity Micro's ProMagix E2240 is perhaps the fastest preconfigured gaming desktop you can find on store shelves. It might not offer all of the features you want in a PC to anchor your digital lifestyle, but that's not really its point. Instead, this system lives up to its admirable goal of providing solid 3D gaming performance, and also offering room to grow. -
ReviewsAVADirect Core 2 Duo SLI Gaming System (Intel Core 2 Duo E6700)
Reviewed on August 10, 2007 AVADirect's newest Core 2 Duo SLI desktop would be a great buy for a gamer looking to dominate on a current-generation title. We wish it had a quad-core chip, and we'd also rather that tweaking this configuration didn't involve choosing from such a vast array of parts. AVADirect seems to build quality PCs, including this one, but you should definitely go to its Web site knowing what you're looking for. -
ReviewsVelocity Micro ProMagix E2055
Reviewed on February 25, 2008 Not 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. -
ReviewsVelocity Micro ProMagix A50
Reviewed on October 19, 2007 Velocity Micro keeps to its performance ethic with this new ProMagix A50 desktop. This PC doesn't have a quad-core chip, nor does it want to serve as the hub of your "digital lifestyle." Instead, it promises fast 3D and overall performance, with room to grow. Dedicated PC gamers will appreciate what this system has to offer. -
ReviewsAVADirect Core 2 Duo SLI
Reviewed on April 12, 2007 This is AVA Direct's debut PC with CNET, and we like what we see so far. A few minor design and config issues aside, the overclocked parts squeeze as much performance as possible, while helping to keep the price somewhat reasonable. We're eager to see more from this small vendor. -
ReviewsABS Ultimate X Striker Elite
Reviewed on April 10, 2007 We'd give ABS credit for the innovative, tinker-friendly case lighting advertised on its site, except that this model doesn't have it. For that, you need to order it with a special motherboard. That MIA feature aside, we like this gaming system for its bang-for-the-buck, tidy design, and overall robust set of features. Just get ready to spend a little. -
ReviewsVelocity ProMagix E2035
Reviewed on May 4, 2007 Velocity Micro's PCs are always easy on the eyes, and that trend continues with this midrange gaming model. We have some reservations about its performance for the cost, but if you're inclined toward upgrading you might be willing to forgive that it's a little slow today. -
ReviewsPolywell Poly i680SLI - Core 2 Extreme QX6700 2.66 GHz
Reviewed on November 8, 2006 We expect that we'll see better-looking and better-thought-out PCs with Nvidia's new GeForce 8800 GTX graphics card inside, but Polywell gets the distinction of having the first PC in our Labs with this next-gen part. And while its visuals and its power supply could use some attention, its price-performance ratio is hard to beat. -
ReviewsXtreme Notebooks 917V Accelerator
Reviewed on November 28, 2007 The Xtreme Notebooks 917V Accelerator is an unquestionably powerful laptop, but impressed as we are with its performance and 3D frame rates, it's hard to justify the sky-high price. This quad-core laptop seems suited only for those who want a true desktop gaming rig that's still moderately portable. -
ReviewsDell XPS 710
Reviewed on November 15, 2006 The XPS 710 brings quad-core processing to Dell's flagship desktop, but competing systems from others outshine this system in too many ways for us to recommend it. We still like the case and the build quality, and Dell has even beefed up its support, but among other issues, a $5,000 PC is not supposed to be slower than systems that cost nearly $2,000 less. -
NewsIntel's quad-core chip powerful but pricey
November 2, 2006 New Core 2 Extreme offers an overwhelming amount of performance that exceeds the demands of most PC users, according to reviews. -
ReviewsPC Club Enpower Velocity 05 SLI
Reviewed on December 5, 2006 PC Club's Enpower Velocity 05 SLI combines powerful hardware, a strong price, and a distinctive design into a compelling gaming PC. The design isn't for everyone, you'll need to do some research to pick the right power supply (hint: go 850 watts or higher), and PC Club's online support is comical, but on balance, this desktop will meet the needs of many gamers.
