Falcon Northwest Talon review

Falcon Northwest’s mid-sized tower desktop, the Talon, has been in production continuously since 1999. Over the years, it has been reinvented several times, but with competitors like Origin and Maingear hot on Falcon’s heels, there’s no shortage of alternatives. Does the Talon reign supreme here, or have newcomers passed it by?
