Reviews of the Velocity Micro ProMagix E2240
-
CNET Review
The Good: Clean design; speedy gaming and overall performance; allows for upgrade to dual 3D graphics cards.
The Bad: Short on digital-media-oriented features; newer graphics cards offer more bang-for-the-buck.
The Bottom Line: 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.
