Performance
Those comfortable with tinkering will have no problem adding more: there are three free USB headers on the motherboard, each capable of supporting two more USB ports. There is at least no sign of compromise in the optical drive, which can write all kinds of DVD and reads Blu-ray and HD DVD.
Unfortunately, the Infinity Gamer takes a hammering when it comes to value, not least because the price doesn't include a monitor or any peripherals. It also suffers in comparison to the Yoyotech Water Dragon.
The Water Dragon offers significantly better performance in applications and games, and only costs slightly more. It also offers more hard disk space, and those with a fondness for unusual cooling arrangements will appreciate Yoyotech's water-cooling. If it were totally silent, the Cyberpower would be well worth a closer look. But as it is, it's trumped by the competition.
