CyberPower Crams 6-Core Gulftown into High-End Gaming Rigs
Do-it-yourself (DIY) enthusiasts aren't the only ones stoked about Intel's latest 6-core monster, boutique system builders want in on the action too. Among them is CyberPower, who today announced that all of its high-end gaming rigs are getting the Gulftown treatment.
"Intel's Gulftown will enable you to crush the most intense 3D games and applications with ease," CyberPower said. "CyberPower's top of the line Black Pearl, Gamer Xtreme 3D, and Fang Series Black Mamba gaming systems will all be powered by Intel's 6-core monster. Additionally, CyberPower will integrate the Core i7-980X option across its entire X58 line of systems giving you the power of the Gulftown processor with your dream configuration."
As a refresher, Intel's Core i7-980X Extreme Edition chips bring to the table six processing cores clocked at 3.33GHz, and 12 threads when enabling HyperThreading. The chip runs about $1,000 retail, or a $720 upgrade over the Core i7-930 when configuring a gaming system through CyberPower.

The Raven RV01 is an awesome case. I have it. I wish my cabling looked as good as the one in the pic, tho'.

I think it looks pretty cool. If I every built a dream machine I'd defiantly use this case, or the NZXT Tempest EVO. Plenty of room in each.

I actually like the raven 01 case. I just wish it could have some of the polish and refinement of the corsair obsidian. The top case exit for the motherboard makes complete sense. It just needs a little better lay out for drives and cable management. Also the plastic in the front feels cheap/flimsy.
