    CNET Review

    August 28, 2006

    The Good: Inexpensive; plenty of room for expansion.

    The Bad: Outdated drivers; ugly case design; wonky warranty support.

    The Bottom Line: While the Systemax Venture C2D offers a decent set of specs for a Core 2 Duo system in this price range, serious graphics driver issues and a bad case design make us think you can do a lot better without spending much more.
