The editors liked
The Falcon Northwest Tiki innovates the slim-tower gaming PC
Jamming more hardware inside than you might have thought possible
Premium performance
Quiet while gaming
Classy design
Insanely powerful
Thanks to the very high-end parts in this configuration
Yet still compact enough to not hog your desk. Expert construction
A sturdy chassis
And a clean understated look
The editors didn't like
The granite base isn't for everyone
And the limitations of the slim-tower design seem harsh given the Tiki's high price tag
Fixed vertical position
16GB max memory
Very expensive
Even configured with lower-end parts. The internal components aren't as easily accessible as in a standard tower. New high-end graphics card hardware may (or may not) be right around the corner
Slim, attractive chassis, Powerful graphics and overall performance, Quiet cooling system
Expensive
The Falcon Northwest Tiki ($4,514 as reviewed, $2,459 starting) delivers beefy performance befitting a machine twice this PC's size. The desktop's Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti GPU and Intel i7 processor guarantee plenty of power — enough to play the most-dem...
Abstract: When it came time to perform, the Tiki stepped up to bat. It's Asetek-watercooled 5960X beat our zero point's equivalent 5960X by roughly 4-8 percent in our CPU tests. It didn't perform as well compared to our ZP in gaming tests, losing by about 40-45 per...
Small and light, 18-core Xeon, GeForce Titan X and Intel 750-series SSD
Expensive, Take big memory bandwidth hit
For the average power user, the Tiki is overkill.For the person who knows how to exploit it, though, you'd be hard pressed to find more hardware in a smaller box today. It's practically a small form factor workstation. And don't think Apple's Mac Pro will...
Abstract: If you want proof that micro-towers are getting to the point where they can threaten full-tilt-boogie gaming rigs, it's right here in front of your face with Falcon Northwest's Tiki Z.How else could you explain the moment of concern -- short though it was...

Overclocked Intel Core i7 quad-core processor. Potent EVGA GeForce GTX Titan Black graphics. Sweet paint job customizations. Compact design with a rock-solid stone base.

Whether you're planning to buy a full-size gaming PC or an SFF, many of your considerations will be the same. Performance is critical, of course. And, if you're looking at luxury rigs, then unique features and extras are important, too. You're paying for...
The Falcon Northwest Tiki is not a machine made for penny-pinchers. If you’re planning on working with any gaming PC packing an NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN GPU, you’re going to be paying quite a chunk of change – this isn’t the sort of situation where yo...
I like the Tiki chassis. It's big enough to accommodate the type of parts I'd want to integrate, yet it's small enough to feel more like a console than a huge gaming PC. The styling is simple and understated, allowing the system's size to be the main thin...
