The Cyberpower Infinity X66 GTX Gaming PC is a Mid-Tower system, using the sleek In Win 101 chassis with a large tempered glass panel to display the hardware inside.
The offset top panel I/O consists of two USB 3.0 ports and headphone/microphone inputs. The power button is separated from the traditional ports, placing it below the In Win logo on the right-hand side that emits a red glow when powered on.
The tempered glass panel is easily removed via pop-out thumbscrews rather than the traditional turn screw, showcasing what the Infinity X66 GTX has to offer. To the top right of the motherboard sits two 8GB sticks of ADATA memory, sporting a striking red theme to match that of the rear fan LED and In Win logo.
The spaciousness In Win 101 case has given Cyberpower a lot to work with, resulting in an extremely clean build, helping with the unusual airflow that the chassis presents. There is no intake fans on the front of the case, with the pre-built system instead giving the option to add two more 140mm fans to back side, although these are not included.
The fans which are present in the build are two intake fans at the bottom, connected to the CPU radiator and an exhaust at the back of the chassis.
Powering the system is Cooler Master's MasterWatt 600W 80Plus, contained in the upper left portion of the chassis in a neat shroud. To the right of this are two drive bays, housing the primary solid state drive above and the secondary hard drive below.
Both bays are easily removable, however the cable management is so tightly packed that it might initially be a struggle.
The Infinity X66 GTX keeps its Intel Core i5-8600K cool with a Cooler Maser Seidon, housing the 240mm radiator at the bottom of the chassis.
While there are many GPU options to choose from, Cyberpower's Infinity X66 GTX flagship £999 model includes an MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, which is a relatively small card for the sizeable mid-tower. With two DisplayPorts, two HDMIs and a DVI-D connection, there's no shortage of display options for multiple monitors.
Removing the rear panel with its two easy-to-turn thumbscrews reveals that Cyberpower has refrained from stuffing its cabling behind the motherboard. This is surprising considering only one side sports a tempered glass panel, but the results are excellent cable management all around.
Finally, we have the rear I/O, which offers a fair amount of inputs, with four additional USB 3.1 Type-A ports and two more USB 2.0 ports. For audio/visuals when not using the graphics card, there is a choice between DVI, VGA and even a DisplayPort. There is also an Ethernet and a PS2 port for keyboard compatibility.
It's clear that while £1199 might carry a slight premium price tag over that of its individual parts being bought separately, Cyberpower has shown finesse with its build quality, shown through exceptional cable management and presentation.
