Velocity Micro Gamer��s Edge 1500

William O’Neal

Price: $3,190 rating: 4.2

Like Vicious, Velocity Micro opted for the less expensive AMD Athlon 64 3200+ processor, which kept the cost down. This rig is one of three that shipped with ATI��s 256MB Radeon 9800XT graphics card, which may not be the fastest card available but is still plenty fast and stable, and has great image quality.

In terms of performance, the Velocity Micro rig is right in the thick of things. What I really like is that, by using conservative parts, the company had dollars saved to put toward three hard drives: a 72GB RAID-0 configuration for the OS and system files, and a 120GB hard drive for data. Velocity rounds out the package with ViewSonic��s crystal-clear 21-inch G220B monitor and Klipsch Promedia 5.1 Ultra speakers, which are both excellent choices.

What's Unique?

A RAID-0 config for system files and a single drive for data combines performance with safety.
