Velocity Micro has produced a highly capable mid range gaming desktop with their Micro Edge Z30. This $1,349 system has strong and stable performance and high build quality. The system features a Core i7 860 chip CPU overclocked at 3.2GHz, 8GB 1,333MHz DDR3 SDRAM, a 1TB 7,200 rpm hard drive, and a 896MB Nvidia GeForce GTX video card. The machine comes with a second graphics slot which isn’t standard at the $1,300 price range.

Checkout this CNET review. They love the compact profile case, the expansion options, and lower power consumption scores. The biggest surprise is that Z30′s CPU outpaces systems from Asus and Maingear in at the $1,349  price. The Nvidia video card has enough power - Far Cry 2 runs at 60fps. The bottom line with this system is that you get the power of a $6,500 Alienware system with a budget of less than $1,400.
