Cyber ​​Power Gamer Xtreme 9000

Cyber ​​Power Gamer Xtreme 9000 will have two desktops, Maingear F131 Super Stock (2300 $ directly, to 4 stars), and choosing the current Editors Digital Storm ODE for level 3 ($ 2,399 direct, 4.5 stars) is which is better than the previous one, but can t quite match the second game of power. But for those of us do, that most of us, who do not have $ 2,399 to save a typical high-end desktop gaming, Cyber ​​Power of $ 1799 (direct) price is a good substitute for those who want some games seriously without going broke.

Design and features

The Gamer Xtreme 9000 uses a solid metal case with black brushed aluminum front panel, then compared with the elegant white frames at level 3 ODE is not much to write home about. At first glance, the facade seems to have only one vent, Blu-ray / DVD-R / W optical drive, and the power button. The two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, audio and microphone and FireWire 400 are hidden behind a discreet door clicked open and close by pressing one of its corners. The upper deck has an internal hard disk location that converts a 2.5-inch drive in an external storage unit, according to recycling nice for those with extra hard drives around.

Audio connections include standard audio and microphone jack and SPDIF output for speakers. There are seven USB 2.0 ports, eSATA and two USB 3.0 ports, but they are obsessed with the son who meander through the chassis to provide you with the USB 3.0 connection at the front. This solution pass-through is common, such cases are not usually associate these ports to the motherboard headers, but it is still awkward and unattractive. A wired Ethernet connection is also there, but there is no Wi-Fi you need to install a card if you want to connect wirelessly to the Internet. An additional feature is the Bluetooth 2.1 wireless technology that allows you to pair with a wide range of Bluetooth devices.

The side of the Gamer Xtreme 9000 has a transparent window for your friends, or maybe a potential date, you can admire in the dual SLI Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 graphics cards and attractive Ti enormous amount of energy a 850W! The internal wiring is well organized, allowing adequate ventilation vent drilled in the front, back and top of the chassis, with some fans, of course.

However, the complexity in the kidnapping and the choice of these components in the configuration page may deter some users, especially if they are not as well read what he refers to the PC.
