| Review summary | The ABS SPC 5 offers full-strength performance without the full-size case. | The Falcon Northwest FragBox is nicely built for gamers on the go, with its easy portability and capable, if not customizable, features. | A small-form-factor conversation piece, the Monarch Hornet is both full featured and affordable, but it's a bit cumbersome to upgrade. |
