Futuremark released 3DMark Vantage, on April 28, 2008. It is a benchmark based upon DirectX 10, and therefore will only run under Windows Vista (Service Pack 1 is stated as a requirement) and Windows 7. This is the first edition where the feature-restricted, free of charge version could not be used any number of times. 1280×1024 resolution was used with performance settings.
Another impressive result from the Black Mamba.

The Game Awards have been around for well over a decade and at this point, the TGAs have cemented themselves as the biggest awards show for the industry. Keighley knows how to draw people in with promises of new game trailers and other announcements, leading to huge moments like Bethesda's reveal for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, or Microsoft's Xbox Series X reveal. Winning the show's GOTY award is considered to be a badge of honour, so let's take a look back at the last ten GOTY winners and whether or not they deserved it.

I am impressed to be honest, as I know how difficult this build is. If they had opted for a larger SSD and the 3960X I would be more impressed.
3930k in a 4k system? id want the extra cache im afraid, even if its not really noticed. so its a good system in some areas (build) and surprisingly novice in others (components).
I like the case, but id swap out for bequiet fans, would solve the problem, at a little extra cost.
as a talking point its interesting, but the build has a lot of flaws. I think the review needed to be more negative, although most of the problem areas were mentioned.
my main gripe? it has two systems. cool concept.
but.
its a big but.
why would you use a media center in this system with a blasting of fan noise in the room? do the fans all turn off when the media center is on? if so, thats cool, if not. useless.
I have maybe missed this, how do you turn either system on? are there two power buttons? can both be turned on together?
Not for me, ive heard this case and its almost the same as buying a helicopter and putting it in the garden.
Im splitting hairs, but why dont Cyberpower replace the fans in the case with quality stealth units? there are quite a few so i doubt air flow would be an issue, especially with the huge physical dimensions.
I like the case, its a talking point due to the size and two systems is a great idea, but I have an issue with cyberpower. my friend in london bought a system and it was troubled from day one. perhaps he got a bad system, but the motherboard failed in a week and it took some time to get it back.
I still believe its best buying your own system.
For this money I would get
3960X with corsair H100
32GB of 2400mhz ram
asus rampage IV extreme
corsair 1200i PSU
silverstone case (same as henry said in conclusion).
256GB SSD boot – vertex 4 or patriot wildfire
2x2TB HDD for storage
ASUS GTX680 (one is enough) and maybe add another later.
I worked this out at close to 3k, not 4k.
