Velocity Micro Edge Z15
Editors' rating: 4
The good: Fast CPU and 3D-card combo; immaculate build quality; lots of room to upgrade.
The bad: Spare design may bore those looking for a flashy gaming PC; onsite support costs extra.
The bottom line: Velocity Micro's Edge Z15 represents one of the best deal's we've seen this year in midrange gaming PCs. It has all the power necessary to play current games (even Crysis) at smooth frame rates, and its clean, spacious interior gives you plenty of upgrade room. We recommend this system to any PC gamer looking for a sub-$2,000 desktop.
