Intel might officially scoff at the thought of OEMs shoving Core i7 processors and X58 chipets into full fledged desktop replacement notebooks, but that hasn't stopped a handful of system builders from doing so anyway. The latest to enter the 'mobile' Core i7 fray is CyberPower, which today introduced its Xtreme S1 notebook.

Available in a variety of configurations, the base model includes an Intel Core i7 920 (2.66GHz) processor, Intel's X58 chipset, 6GB of DDR3-1066 memory, Nvidia GeForce GTX 280M graphics with a 1GB frame buffer, 320GB hard drive sputtering along at 5400RPM (7200RPM and SSD options available), and 8X DVD burner all wrapped in a 17-inch package with a 1920x1200 resolution LCD display.

The Xtreme S1 is available now starting at $2,335 (Protip: Enter coupon code 'INSTANT' for 5 percent off).

Summer's fast approaching, and that means (hopefully) more free time for gaming (who needs sunshine?). To help you do that, CyberPower today announces the LAN Party Commander, a new system built around the Core i7 platform and housed in Cooler Master's recently released Scout enclosure.

"CyberPower offers a true LAN party solution that combines gaming performance quality and style," CyberPower wrote in a press release. "This all-around LAN Party case embodies CM’s 'Storm Tactics' approach to extreme gaming systems that gives you Strength, Security, and Control."

We were half expecting CyberPower to throw an 'Army Strong' quote somewhere in the press release, but marketing eccentricities asides, the self-proclaimed "Perfect LAN Party Rig" seeks to get you gaming on the go with an Intel Core i7 920 processor, Gigabyte X58 motherboard, 6GB of DDR3-1333 tri-channel memory, AMD's ATI HD4870 videocard, 1TB hard drive, DVD burner, 680W power supply, and Windows Vista 64-bit. Several upgrades are available, each of which will add to the base configuration's $1,130 price tag.

For security duties, CyberPower says the Commander's StormGuard security solution will allow you to lock down peripherals from mischievous passerbys.

The Commander is available now starting at the aforementioned $1,130 price point, though you can knock 5 percent off with coupon code "Instant."
