Thanks for the review

Thanks for the review, unfortunately there is an error (as in Shopper). The system has 4GB of RAM so it will in no way stifle Win 7 or gaming performance.

The hum can be addressed by upgrading to one of the after-market CPU coolers, a passively cooled graphics card or BeQuiet PSUs we offer in the configurator.

Should you need more gaming grunt the full range of 5000 series cards is available now that the availability problems on the 5800s are over.

If there's anything more you'd like to know about our systems then have a look at our forum.

Completely misleading pricing

Looking on the CyberPower website, the only incarnation of this machine I can *easily* find costs a whopping £775 inc VAT!!! Quite a contrast to the quoted £644. VERY SURPRISED that this wasn't picked up in the comment from CyberpowersystemUK. I may be wrong about this; maybe the search on their website just isn't returning the right model.

Wizball - thanks for your comment. The system is listed on Cyberpower's website with a monitor, which accounts for the high price - the model we reviewed was a base unit, so if you remove the monitor then the price is similar to it was when reviewed. It's also even cheaper if you stick with 2GB of RAM rather than 4GB.
