I heard Velocity Micro is pretty good. I also heard they were mainly for gamming.

You could have built this (copy pasted from a post I made last week):
for $200 less.
Still, if you're not looking to build a computer yourself, I suppose it's a decent buy. But then again, if it's a computer, if it's not a custom build, I'm generally biased to hate it.

It's a good computer, but you should have built it yourself.

| About $950 before tax, I suppose they could earn some money, so $1,100 at the max.
