Cyberpower PC

Today, we use the power of the pr0n to discuss a new gaming PC on the market. It's called the Cyberpower, and we'll see just how much power it actually has.

What You Need to Know

  • First thing you notice is the LCD fan controller; this shows your fan RPMs and temperature in real time- it then automatically adjusts the fan speeds according to how hot it gets
  • The entire case is full aluminum to keep cool, but its way too heavy and too tall
  •  Six 120 millimeter fans and one 140 and the array of three fans in the middle was specially made for 3-way SLI
  • Even though the case is giant, due to all the components, there isn't much room to work
  • Intel 3.2 gigahertz Core 2 Extreme with Asetek Liquid cooling system
  • Dual thermaltake 1,000 watt power supplies
  • 4GB of Corsair DDR3 RAM
  • Two 32GB solid state drives
  • LG Blu-ray burner
  • Three! NVIDIA GTX 280 1GB video cards
  • In our 3D Mark Vantage tests, it scored a 25,450; to give you an idea of where that is, 10,250 is the lowest score and 29,650 is the highest- this Cyberpower rig is more than double the fastest computer we've benchmarked on the show so far
  • On Crysis, we have all settings at very high, 1280x1024 resolution with 8x anti-aliasing and it averages 42-50 frames per second
  • This is absolutely the best we've seen on both of these tests

 

Price

  • The configuration we have here is $5,600
  • You can customize the smallest detail and really get your price down to where you want it
  • They build out basically any configuration you want, and their price on parts is extremely reasonable

It's nice but way too expensive.

No, blackbird was expensive; this is Porsche Boxster money.

'On Crysis, we have all settings at very high, 1280x1024 resolution with 8x anti-aliasing and it averages 42-50 frames per second '

i played Crysis too, from the screen shot i can tell, it is very fast machine.

I think the SSD accelerate the PC a lot. Using hard drive to play Crysis is slow!

they tune the desktop to a real extreme game machine! i like it!

Triple SLi ain't nothing anymore, try Quad Crossfire 4870X2 and tell me what you get in Crysis Kevin! or tell me what Benchmark score you get Kevin! that 29K benchmark score is probably with the quad 4870X2

Posted by monkblue22 - Thursday, August 14, 2008 6:48 PM

Yeah its kinda pricey, but i'm wondering whats the link is to go on and buy your own????

They should look at the Mac Pro, capable of 8 cores, 32 Gigs of RAM, and more. But insanely expensive.

Can some one tell me if that space game is eve online?

Posted by xMecax - Friday, August 29, 2008 7:10 PM

Pretty awesome but, yeah, expensive. Although if I had the money I'd buy it.

darkgoth... gtx280's in 3-way SLI beats 4870X2's in CFx every time (even if marginally). look it up on driver heaven. but i wont argue that it is cheaper to get the 4870X2's.

zakams... mac pro? not for gaming, i hope?

TOTFC... "that space game"? lol

i know i might sound like a jerk but these comments were asking for it.
