If you are someone who doesn\'t have the time, patience or perhaps even expertise to build a system then the Novatech Brawler Pro is an ideal candidate to take you to gaming paradise. Novatech have done well to select some great components that gell very well together for under £900, offering some fantastic gaming performance that is reliable and consistent. In all the tests this system was put through it had no hiccups and sailed on through.

The only negative comments I would have to mention regarding this system is the ability to control the fans. The 120mm Hiper fans installed in the case aren\'t amongst the quietest of case fans out there and with the absence of any fan controller this might cause some frustration for those who thrive on a near silent setup. The Hitachi HDD did seem to contribute to this noise also.

Those small niggly points aside this system is very impressive, its enclosure is solid and has great build quality as I\'ve already mentioned the components inside are reliable and efficient. I really like the fact that you can remove the side panels without any screwdriver being needed, you can take the panels off in less than a minute. Similarly the bootup sequence took just 50 seconds to fully load into Vista and a hasty 14 seconds to shutdown.

Overall I\'m very impressed with this system and I award it the Vortez Silver Award.
