"Fast but not reliable" on by holo3578
Pros: Good quality performance, simple design.
Cons: Mine kicked the bucket after a few years and constant problems. Just ended up scrapping all the internal components and building my own based on the case and keeping the drives while replacing all the major components. Now that I did it myself and spent
Summary: I don't see how reliability and the velocity micro brand can ever be related, and it looks like Velocity Micro gets special editorial mention in exchange for their advertising because it can't be possible to believe all the good reviews this product gets, especially those connecting the brand to reliability.

"Needs some changes" on by Wikiwow10
Pros: 1)CPU cooling is fantastic
2)raid 0/1 compatible
3)Price
4)Power supply is accessible and comes with excess sockets for future hookups.
5) Neat glowing features.Cons: 1) Graphics card fan is located right below the power supply so it is sucking in hot air which may cause overheating issues especially if your overclocking it.
2) Case design, will explain in summary.Summary: Explaination of case design flaws:
The hard drive bay is located right in front of the intake fan which slows overall CFM(Cubic feet a minute) flow.
Summary:
The cons are severe and might ward some off, but they can be solved simply by adding a few more fans.
Overall you can expect to pay roughly $1050 plus $80 dollars for cooling material(Cpu fan and two case fans). I'd recommend this computer to anyone on a budget. -
"Do not buy from this company" on by LB2009
Pros: Looks cool
Cons: The computer we got doesn't work. Within the first 3 weeks the video card went and now the power went. The company has a horrible return policy and an increasingly bad reputation for problems similar to the ones we have.
Summary: Go with a company that has better return and repair policies.
