Reviews of the Maingear Ephex (Intel Core i7 965)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Aggressive overclocking leads to record-setting application and games performance; tri-SLI 3D cards give you lots of headroom for games down the road; fast solid-state boot drive and plenty of secondary storage space; expertly assembled.
The Bad: Most expensive desktop we've reviewed; service and support not quite as comprehensive as its boutique PC competition.
The Bottom Line: Maingear's Ephex is the fastest PC we've reviewed, and also the most expensive. You can find better service policies from other boutique PC vendors, but the Ephex's overall speed and build quality are enough for us to recommend it to those in the market for the best desktop they can find.
