In the eTeknix office today we have the X2 6018 (although I'll refer to it as "X2" for this review), from Spire and with a price of around £50 / $70 it's set to take on the more budget friendly side of the market, the sweet spot for the general consumer and mid range performance systems. Spire is not the biggest name in the tech world, at least not here in England and that's fine, big reputations don't exactly happen over night, but that does mean I'm going into this review unaware of what to expect from Spire in terms of quality and features. However, Spire do have a good team behind them and I have heard of them a few times before, as well as seen a couple of their chassis in use while at LAN gaming events, so I'll take that as a sign of some good things to come.
