When it comes to getting a new computer not everyone knows how to build their own. They leave that job to the professionals. CyberPowerPC is one of the premier custom system builders out there and today we are taking a look at one of their latest gaming systems. CyberPowerPC always builds quality system that are not extremely overpriced. The Gamer Xtreme 4200 system we are looking at today features an Intel Core i7-4770K processor, GeForce GTX 770 graphics card, ASUS Z87-A motherboard, 16GB of DDR3 memory and much more. Read on as we take this custom system for a spin!

So what is it that makes the nVidia/Ivy Bridge-E this perfect storm of gaming? Well to start with, nVidia’s new GTX 7XX series is pumping out frame rates we have never seen before, and is doing it at higher resolutions and detail settings. Then there is the brute computational power of the Ivy Bridge-E which handles physics heavy games with greater ease and efficiency. But Ivy Bridge-E has also has architectural advantages for the GPU. To start, it ups PCIe lanes to 40 over the 16 seen in Haswell/Ivy Bridge/Sandy Bridge. With this advantage, SLI setups are not stepped down to 8x/8x and can operate at 16x/16x to reduce risk of bottlenecking.
ASUSTOR has recently released their AS-300T series represented with two NASes, one with 2 bays and the other with 4. These are powered by the latest Intel Atom CE5335 CPU at 1.6GHz, along with 1GB DDR3 of onboard memory and share the multimedia functions of their more expensive siblings, the AS-600T series. A remote can be also offered to navigate through the XBMC interface for extra cost, as an alternative to the USB mouse and keyboard.
The importance of SSD controllers often gets overlooked in the world of SSDs. Memory itself is front and center in the minds of most, simply because it is the most prominent component in any SSD. Most recently, we are even seeing Apple using the term ‘flash’ in its product literature , rather than ‘SSD’. Not only is the controller capable of providing lightning fast speeds and up to 256-bit encryption in today’s SSDs, but also, it extends the life of SSDs through wear leveling, garbage collection, and TRIM. To give you a small glimpse of how advanced the controller really is, it actually monitors each block of memory to ensure all wear equally. Now consider that a 256GB SSD contains 4.2 million of these blocks, each part of a constant ‘behind the scenes’ movement to ensure memory wears equally and prolongs the life of the SSD; it becomes quite an impressive feat.
The best Battlefield 4 performance from a single card comes from an AMD 7990 and that's what CyberPower built the Zeus EVO Lightning 3000 SE around.
Gigabyte makes very interesting mini-PCs along with their hardware components, but a special product in their Brix catalogue is the Brix Projector. We recently had the opportunity to try it out. The concept of the Gigabyte Brix Projector i3-4010 is a very original one, and the design looks good as well. In practice, however, it feels more like a showcase.
The VisionTek mSATA mini USB 3.0 Bus-Powered SSD Enclosure solves the problem of what to do with that leftover mSATA SSD. This small enclosure acts as a basic housing for a SATA I/II/III mSATA SSD and will allow you to use it like a USB 3.0 Flash Drive or storage drive. Read on to see how it performs!
Back in March we found some of the crazies network messes ever and since that time we’ve had quite a few submissions of really bad network messes. While most system administrators like a nice and clean cabled cabinet of servers, it does not always work out that way. So we have compiled another post of some of the most insane network messes ever! Enjoy!
The 70-200mm focal length has been one of the most versatile and popular zoom ranges available. First introduced in March of 1995 the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM has been one of the go to lenses for sports, portraiture, and journalism across the world. Canon has four 70-200mm lenses in their lineup, two f/2.8s and f/4s with and without IS. As a portrait photographer I find the f/2.8 aperture is a must have over the f/4 versions to completely isolate your subject and stray from any distractions or environmental flaws. Thus is why I sold my 70-200mm f/4L USM earlier this year and purchased this f/2.8 version. Though it lacks image stabilization and the weather sealing that its newer 70-200mm f/2.8L USM IS II brother has, it is around $1,000 cheaper and lighter, making it a much better bang for your buck.
Legit Reviews jumped onto the 4K bandwagon back in 2013 with the Sharp PN-K321 32-inch class 4K LED-Backlit display. At the time this monitor was around $3500 and the display defaulted to 30 Hz, which meant that games weren’t smooth. In order to produce a 4K Ultra HD display with a more user friendly 60Hz refresh rate, monitor makers are moving over to a single stream (single tile) implementation. This means that as long as you are using DisplayPort 1.2-capable graphics solution that you should be able to just plug and play. There is just a single stream to be had, so the video card driver issues that once plagued so many are gone and 3840x2160 at a 60 Hz refresh rate should be standard. One of the first displays to support for 4K resolutions at 60Hz via DisplayPort's Single-Stream Transport (SST) mode is the ASUS PB287Q. Read on to see what the ASUS PB287Q has to offer.
