Excellent Machine - Poor Keyboard, Mouse
I bought this as a treat to myself for general use and for moderate gaming (currently playing Dragon Age: Origins). The system arrived over night and seemed to be as advertised. However, the box which was to contain the fancy gaming keyboard and gaming mouse only contained an accessory bag, a portfolio containing Windows 7 and drivers, and a T-shirt - no KB or mouse. The tech support web site would not let me contact tech support until I had submitted a request to be allowed to connect to their support hub and the request was accepted. That took two phone calls and a week. During the second phone call I was told a new keyboard and mouse would be shipped right away. The call was made on Friday and the shipment was received the following Thursday. Quite acceptable. However, instead of the advertised gaming keyboard and gaming mouse, I received a Logitech keyboard and a Kensington mouse. When I called Tech Support to report the mistake, I was informed that there was no mistake at all and that all "retail" VelocityMicro gaming systems now ship with that keyboard/mouse combination. Very disappointing in a 00 system.
That being said, the system mostly performs as advertised. After upgrading the video drivers and a patch to Dragon Age, it plays smoothly and looks great even at 1680x1050. I am experiencing a sporadic reboot for a driver issue during normal use, but have not had time to debug yet.
I threw the keyboard and mouse away and bought a Logitech gaming KB and mouse and am quite happy with the system. I just wish VM didn't cheap out on the product. They saved a few bucks, but have lost a customer.
