Reviews of the Maingear Pulse

CNET Review
The Good: Low-power components keep energy consumption to a minimum; unique ultracompact design; compelling default configuration.
The Bad: Competing power-efficient PC from HP available for less; slower performance than more affordable traditional gaming PCs; case layout and low wattage power supply limit upgrade path despite PCI Express slot.
The Bottom Line: We hate to criticize PCs that strive to balance performance and power efficiency, because the goal is noble. But despite its visual charm, Maingear's Pulse requires too many speed compromises to entice PC gamers, and too few benefits over a competing system from HP. Its base configuration may have some appeal as a digital entertainment system, but this higher-end Pulse needs the core technology to catch up to its aspirations.
