FIC Condor SFF @ Viper Lair

“FIC put together a nice little barebone PC, but missed on some important features that enthusiasts have come to expect. While it’s no slouch in gaming, it does not stand out in the performance department which is a shame as the design itself was well thought out. A change in motherboard and PSU selection is certainly in order, and hopefully FIC thinks about this with their next Condor revision.”

Chaintech Zenith VE 915P Review @ OCC

“With the Zenith VE V915P motherboard, Chaintech is all about economy with class. They have produced a motherboard that won’t break the bank, but still has plenty of umph to it. Those of you looking to run RAID configurations will be disappointed. This is perhaps the only true drawback to the motherboard.”
