“If you’re looking for a system that will kick off the year with style and provide expandability as new parts become available, the F131 isn’t a bad choice at all. The case’s clean and spacious layout means you can add components without compromising airflow, and the existing parts handle today’s games without trouble. Maingear backs up the PC with a one-year warranty; this review unit’s price includes a three-year warranty”
