Reviews of the Velocity ProMagix E2230
-
CNET Review
The Good: Solid build quality; strong performance in both games and day-to-day apps; plenty of room for expansion.
The Bad: Power supply comes in under Nvidia's specs for adding two cards.
The Bottom Line: Its competition's prices range in all directions, but Velocity Micro's E2230 strikes the right balance of performance, expandability and features. We wonder if the power supply is strong enough to withstand many aftermarket upgrades, but even as is, you'll be happy with this strong midrange desktop.
