Panrix Magnum 650T

Verdict

The Magnum's new AMD Thunderbird processor is clearly an improvement on existing Athlons, and Panrix has put together a good-value, generously specified system around it.

Overall Rating
5 stars out of 6

PCPRO Recommended

This puts the Magnum in a pretty strong position, since it's very well specified for the price and, with two memory sockets, four PCI slots and two front-opening drive bays (one of each size) free for expansion, it has plenty of potential too. While companies like Mesh and Panrix are turning out Athlon-based machines as good as these, for this kind of money there's no reason for Intel to have it all its own way.
