Gamer Ultra System Overview
CyberPower has many case options you can choose from, but they went with the Cooler Master Elite 430 case on this system. We actually reviewed this case not that long ago. The case is pretty plain and does not have much going on. Checking out the front of the case you can see the Blu-ray drive and card reader are black to match the front of the case.
Moving around to the side of the case you can see that CyberPower has installed a white fan, which is not standard on the Elite 430 case. There is also a small CyberPower logo on the bottom left part of the window.
The back of the case is pretty plain, but CyberPower has installed an exhaust fan, which also is not standard on the Elite 430. Another thing that we look at when we receive a custom system is the I/O shield. We make sure it is installed correctly and that nothing is bent. CyberPower has done a nice job with the I/O shield.
Opening the system up and taking a look inside we can see that everything is nicely organized and the cable management is awesome! Most of the power supply cables are tied and hidden.
The thing that stands out most in the system is the GeForce GTX 460 video card. CyberPower has decided to go with the EVGA 1GB version of the card. Above the card we can see the Asetek 510LC 120mm watercooler. Asetek watercoolers are pretty much standard on most custom builds these days.
There is only 4GB of memory in this system, which is Kingston HyperX 1600MHz DDR3. It is finally nice to see system builders using SATA 6G hard drives in their systems. This system is using a Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 7200RPM 64MB cache SATA 6G drive. We’ve only looked at one other SATA 6G drive and it was a solid state drive so it will be interesting to see how this drive performs.
You listed 4GB in the specs 2x2GB – which doesnt make sense for the
– Would have liked to see more than 2GB of memory on the base system
Ah our spec sheet said 2GB, but the system actually had 4GB in it. The review has been updated.
I would buy this pre-configured like this. I love the case and the Asetek liquid cooling. great video card and a wonderful price! I am however waiting for the AMD 6770 to come out in October before I make my final decision.

I also should have mentioned that I liek the fact that they did not skimp int he most important area: the Power supply! i wish they had taken a picture with the system on with the front fan that lights up Blue. Also did they pay extra for that nice wiring job? Why on Earth would anyone use the windows index experience to get a benchmark? it tells people nothing. Secondly why not runt he games at 1920×1200? This set up is more than capable for that. If I could get it from newegg and just wait 3 days for shipping. I’d buy this today!
last?
