Reviews of the Polywell Poly i570SLI

    CNET Review

    September 25, 2006

    The Good: Competitive configuration for the price; gigantic fan keeps collective noise down; CPU overclocking bolsters performance.

    The Bad: Motherboard only has two memory slots; boring design.

    The Bottom Line: It's not particularly attractive, and the motherboard limits you to two memory modules, but Polywell's Poly i570SLI PC is a capable gaming box at a fair price. Its CPU is even overclocked to give it that extra edge. We don't recommend it if you anticipate needing strong vendor support, but if you're a confident PC user looking for a good deal, it's a solid, no-frills choice.
