Velocity Micro ProMagix A50 Desktop Review - CNET
CNET have published a review of the Velocity Micro ProMagix A50 gaming desktop. 'The ProMagix A50 comes in a new, all-black case that retains the clean design we've come to expect from Velocity Micro. The only fundamentally different feature is that the front panel USB 2.0 and microphone and headphone jacks now line the outer right edge of the front panel. Before, they hid behind the small front side door. Noticeably (and thankfully) missing is any kind of front-accessible bay for a removable, optional proprietary hard drive a la recent desktops from HP and Gateway.
Also absent from the ProMagix A50 is any significant attempt to dress this system up as a digital media hub. Among other features, HP's newer Pavilion Elite m9040n offers an HDMI output, a TV tuner card, front panel video inputs and wireless networking capability. For better or for worse, the ProMagix A50 has none of those things. It's certainly capable from a raw encoding and decoding perspective (as our performance charts show), but aside from the dual-layer LightScribe DVD burner, the ProMagix almost feels like a throwback system for its simplicity. Once you look at its specs, you'll realize that what you might miss in features, this system makes up for in performance and upgradeability.'
