When you imagine of a budget desktop, what arrives to mind? Incorporated graphics, so some ports, and an largely boring case, correct? Well the Micro Express MicroFlex 23B does have an largely boring case, but it is otherwise a nice storm--with a distinct graphics card and USB slots to spare--regarding it is labeled "budget."


The MicroFlex 23B (as of 5/26/11), but has few telling characteristics for the cost. Sure, there is the 3.3GHz Sandy Bridge Intel Core iIII-2120 processor, the IV GB of RAM, and the 500GB hard drive, but none of these characteristics are especially out of the MicroFlex 23B's cost point. However, the Blu-ray drive and the AMD Radeon HD 6670 are well touches, not to state the 64-bit edition of Windows VII Home Premium and a couple of USB 3.0 slots.


This budget desktop delivers on function, as well: World Bench 6 benchmark tries, the system scored an effective 141. For comparison's interest, that is more than ten points higher than the Lenovo H320, which recently maintain the

number 1 spot on our list of top ten budget desktops. The Lenovo H320 is about more valuable than the MicroFlex 23B, but it too has an extra II GB of RAM and Core iV processor, though it is an elder, Clarkdale example.


Though this system is through no entails a gaming system, it even handles to blast through other budget Computers in conditions of graphics. In our Unreal Tournament III tries, the MicroFlex 23B handled a properly 42.6 frames each second (fps), functioning on highest quality at a display result of 2560 through 1600 pixels.


The Lenovo H320 handled an unplayable 16 fps on the similar circumstances, when the HP Pavilion s5660f (our number 2 budget Computer) could not ekes out 11 fps. In truth, the MicroFlex 23B's frame rates really insert the system within competing distance of our lower-end conventional desktops.


The MicroFlex 23B is housed in a instead evident black aluminum chassis--in truth, it is the similar chassis as the MicroFlex 25B. The front of the case is smooth and black and has attacked mesh edges with a some scattered blue lights. There are 5 expansion bays--one is concerned through the Blu-ray drive--power and reset keys, a multi-format card reader bay, and a some convenience slots.
