Boutique system vendor CyberPower today unveiled its new LAN Party EVO series of small form factor (SFF) desktop gaming systems. These configurable portable PCs come housed in either a Silverstone SG-07B Mini ITX case (LAN Party EVO Mini) or In-Win's chain-link armor inspired Dragonslayer mini tower (LAN Party EVO Xtreme, Commander, and Ultra models).
The mini-ITX version is perhaps the most interesting, if only because CyberPower manages to cram an impressive amount of hardware in such a small space. This one comes with an Intel Core i7 870 processor, 4GB of DDR3 memory, ATI HD 5770 videocard, and a 1TB hard drive for $1,079. These can all be upgraded.
"The LAN Party EVO Mini is known as one of the smallest footprint gaming systems but can accommodate even the monstrous ATI Radeon 5970 graphics card," CyberPower says.
All four baseline configurations include a liquid cooling solution and low dBA fans. In addition, CyberPower says users have the option of outfitting the Ultra model with sound absorbing foam, anti-vibration fan mounts, and power supply gaskets.

I wonder if they create special builds for MaximumPC or pay closer attention to the details of the build when they know they are shipping it to the corparate office. Everything I have read on the internet suggests their build quality is less than optimal.

I paid for expert wiring and I have to admit I wasn't as impressed as I had hoped. It was just small things I didn't like. For one, in my all black case and with all black wires they used white wire ties and didn't clip the extra plastic off once the wiring was secured. My case also had temperature probes (3) and they just kind of haphazardly placed them. After installing black wire ties and rearranging my temperature probes everything was fine. This computer has been a beast so far and I have no complaints overall.
I would give Cyberpower a 4 out of 5 rating. You can't build a identical PC through Newegg as cheap as Cyberpower. I tried over a 6 month period and always came up 50-150 dollars over trying to build one myself.
I have my hands in computers all day and built every computer I owned up until a few years ago. My next computer will be from Cyberpower, as will the one after that.
