Handy Computer Guide

CNET previews the "most up-to-date small-form-factor gaming PC on the market; great-looking PC inside and out". 'We don't usually get to make sweeping declarative statements, but Maingear has given us the opportunity. Its small-form-factor (SFF) X-Cube gaming desktop is the most advanced PC in its class. No other vendor of a pseudo-portable gaming computer offers a more up-to-date system. This $3,300 PC is by no means inexpensive, but its price is in line with the rest of the market. Due to a number of high-profile tech releases over the next six months, it's hard to recommend spending that much on this exact configuration right now. But based on the X-Cube's strong craftsmanship and its heads-up parts selection, Maingear's Web site should be your first stop whenever you're ready to make a high-end, small-form-factor purchase.'
