review
The Raptor is usually portrayed as a predator, whether it is a bird of prey, dinosaur, or military jet. The Velocity Micro Raptor DCX ($5,834 direct, $6,283 with 20-inch widescreen LCD monitor) works well with the analogy: It's a powerful all-around system, with specialized hardware that makes it particularly adept on the gaming grid. Evolving out of past Raptor systems from Velocity Micro, the DCX now has the new Intel Core 2 Extreme processor and dual ATI CrossFire graphics. It is a member of the $5G club, which means it's a system for the highly demanding user who intends to play games and run computation-intensive multimedia projects.
