Reviews of the Maingear X-Cube (Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6800)

CNET Review
The Good: Crisp, clean system design inside and out; fast application performance; fast Vista gaming performance, depending on the title.
The Bad: Not quite fast enough Vista gaming performance, depending on the title; no built-in Wi-Fi; no memory card reader; uncertain PC gaming future makes it hard to purchase an expensive PC like this one right now.
The Bottom Line: Maingear's sharp, tidy X-Cube packs a mostly powerful gaming punch. It loses a few steps due to Vista, and we wish it had a few more features. With so much in PC gaming in flux, we're also reluctant to recommend such a pricey purchase now. But if you need a fast, small gaming PC today, the X-Cube mostly delivers.
