Reviews of the Velocity Micro Edge Z30 (Intel Core i7)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Best value among midrange gaming PCs; Velocity Micro's consistently high build quality; compact case makes few sacrifices; second graphics card slot previously uncommon at this price.
The Bad: Might need to dial down game image quality on 24-inch displays at full resolution
The Bottom Line: Velocity Micro's Edge Z30 is the best deal going right now for midlevel gaming PCs featuring Intel's new Core i7 chips. The overclocked Core i7 860, a fast Nvidia graphics card, and a solid selection of features all around make it easy for us to recommend this system to anyone looking for a capable gaming desktop.
