The CyberPower Achilles Pro is a very quiet system, generally not audible at all in a ‘normal' environment. Under heavy load the fans do speed up a little, however it is still a very quiet system and ideal for a living room environment – for instance connected to a high definition television.
Its a nice build, a little dull as you can’t overclock the CPU, but nice to see the new in win case, thats pretty sexy
I love the case, interested in buying it – any prices for the case? (alerady entered the competition for this pc :))
Yes you can buy the case here: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-037-IW
Great review. I was sure it will have higher temperatures, bcoz the airflow in the case is a bit weak. But they are much better than expected
