CyberPower Introduces New Z68-based Gaming Systems
Boutique system builder CyberPower PC rarely wastes any time implementing new technologies into its lineup, and the debut of Intel's Z68 Express chipset is no exception. CyberPower sent us word that they've put together a a series of high-end gaming desktops and graphics workstations based on the new chipset, all without breaking the bank.
Sneaking at at just under $700, you can pick up a budget-based Z68 system with the following:
- Thermaltake V3 mid-tower case
- Intel Core i5 2500K
- Gigabyte GA-Z68A-D3-B3
- 8GB of DDR3-1333
- GeForce GT 520 graphics card
- 1TB SATA III hard drive
- 500W PSU
- 24X DVD burner
- Keyboard/Mouse
Not a bad foundation, though you'll need to bring your own OS or add Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit for $104. The Z68 chipset also makes an appearance in CyberPower's new line of high performance graphics workstations, the Power Mega series. Pricing for the Power Mega workstation starts at $1,200 and includes many of the same components, with the following changes:
- Nvidia Quadro 600 graphics card
- NZXT H2 mid-tower case
- 700W power supply
- 12X Blu-ray player
- Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

Cyberpower usually has some pretty decent prices, but they can use some crapy parts to build their machines. I built a computer from Cyberpower last year and within 2-3 months the multicard reader failed and the PSU failed. Simpily because they were the cheapest of cheap parts. Just build it yourself and save yourself the hassle of having to deal with their tech support, cause it sucks.

Ahhh, the Corsair 650D, the design is a work of art.
Those prices are definitely affordable, but they could put better video cards in those builds for a very close price.
Back in 2008, I purchased a computer from CyberPowerPC for my boyfriend's birthday, and their service is brutal. Almost a nightmare. They would not build it for me unless I called my bank and told them I was going to buy from CyberPowerPC. A year later, there was trouble with the computer, they could not replace the parts, but kept it as equal, and not greater value. It is like they nevered care about my business transaction... Maybe because I am a girl, or a New Yorker, but never again will I buy from them. Now me and my boyfriend build our own computers, which is much fun than being put on hold from CyberPowerPC.
