    CNET Review

    February 17, 2006

    The Good: Stylish case; excellent productivity performance; inexpensive; highly configurable, including SLI capability; three-year warranty.

    The Bad: Wimpy graphics card for a gaming PC; some of the fans are noisy; poor documentation.

    The Bottom Line: The Cyberpower Gamer Ultra 8500 SE offers passable gaming performance and plenty of power for your boring everyday apps; spring for a faster video card if you want to play the latest games with the graphics maxed out.
