Work hard and play hard with the Velocity Micro Raptor Z95
Incredible customization options ; Great airflow ; Starting price isn't terrible for a custom PC
Gets very expensive pretty fast ; No Threadripper or Ada options

A high-powered desktop sporting top-of-the-line components
Powerful components for top-notch performance ; Solid build quality and sleek design ; Fast storage and memory ensure efficient multitasking
Expensive compared to other desktops
The Velocity Micro Raptor Z95 is a high-performing desktop well-suited for those who want the best in terms of components and performance. Its solid build quality and sleek design are also notable, but this does mean it comes at a premium price.

A subtle design and high-end parts for both Oculus and Vive, plus plenty of room for expansion later on.
The Raptor has a subtle, discreet black design that fades into the background. It offers excellent high-end performance and a separate front panel for connecting VR headsets.
It's still a little plain-looking for such an expensive PC, and it takes up a ton of space. The front-mounted VR connection panel isn't sturdy enough.
The Velocity Micro Raptor Z55 is a VR-ready desktop with a very conservative look, but excellent performance and plenty of configuration options.

Fast processor ; Excellent gaming performance ; Lightning-fast SSD
Awkward internals ; Not a great price
Despite a few flaws, the Velocity Micro Raptor M60 is a solid gaming desktop. Aside from its problematic internal layout, it stands up to its nearest competitors and performs well for the price — but does it perform well enough?

The Velocity Micro Raptor Z55a is a clean, straightforward gaming desktop with excellent performance. It's a bit pricey, though, and doesn't do a lot to differentiate itself from its rivals.

It isn't a major head-turner, but Velocity Micro's Raptor Z55 gaming desktop is highly configurable, well built, and low-fuss. As tested, with a unique Intel CPU and top graphics, it's blazing-fast for 4K gaming—and all other tasks.
Breakneck performance. Capable of 60fps 4K gaming. Case is easy to work with. Test model uses unique factory-overclocked, limited-edition Core i7 chip.
Plain design and interior layout for such a pricey system.
