Most computers for gaming should just run away, the Velocity Micro Raptor Signature Edition Review

Most computers for gaming should just run away, the Velocity Micro Raptor Signature Edition

The velocity Micro Raptor Signature Edition is on nice piece of work. We have reviewed several gaming PCs, and even the most cavernous of housing seldom contain the punch that this mini tower is filled with. While the Intel Core 2 Extreme CPU is of course to be expected and to have a little over a TB of drive space is nice, the real secret sauce to the Velocity Raptor gaming PC that makes me actual look forward to shelling out $7000 or a little more, is in the graphics card and extreme overclocking setup. Behind the 3 "cute" little blue, lit up, vent fans on the side of the Velocity Raptor is a mean machine, built to bully. The 3d thrashing it dishes out is served by an nVidia GeForce GTX Triple SLI set and sucks info through 4 GB of memory attached to an insanely overclocked quad core QX9650 tweaked to 4.4GHz. This does come with a slight expense, heat. Luckily the whole shebang is kept from melting itself with a Peltier and sealed liquid cooling unit.

This is a box made for fragging, this gaming computer will shove aside nearly any other competitor in its class, and do it without hesitation. $7 Gs is a lot of money to put out for a PC, but for a gaming PC of this caliber, you should just be happy that it did not cost you more and that you had the cash to get yourself the gaming computer that everyone else will just be wishing they had, as you chew them up and spit them out during game play.

Some people might question the decision to have only 2 32GB drives to serve C:, but there is an explanation, these are not simple a couple of low capacity drives. These are SSD drives, and cost around $250 each. They are simply faster, beating out 10,000 rpm drives in day to day usage. As for the size of the drives, you have a whole other TB to play with on your data drive, and as slash and burn rebuilds are common in computers for gaming, the small size of the drive just makes this all the easier.

If you want it powerful, and you want it fast, you love to game, and only the best will do, then you need the Velocity Raptor Signature Edition. You don't even have to tell them the money you saved as your competitors drool.
