Nowadays, desktop gaming rigs come in various shapes and sizes, providing gaming enthusiasts with a wide range of choices in terms of performance and exterior design. The latest product from CyberPower comes to further expand that offering with a new, small-form factor system that is said to have been designed as the perfect travel companion for enthusiasts attending various gaming parties. Dubbed LAN Mini H2o, the new SFF system has been fitted with some of the latest pieces of hardware on the market and a high-performance, liquid-cooling solution.

According to the PC vendor, the new system has been designed as one of the world's smallest, water-cooler desktop gaming rigs, providing users with a choice for a high-end system that can be packed and set to go. The LAN Mini H2o measures only 11.25 (L) x 8.75 (W) x 7 (H) inches and is said to weight just 10lbs, making it easier to carry around, when compared with a full-sized tower system. Inside the high-end PC, the outfit has integrated Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad processors, coupled with a number of graphics card choices from both NVIDIA and ATI.

The basic configuration will provide users with an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 processor, coupled with NVIDIA's mainstream GeForce GTS 250 graphics cards, delivering an impressive performance level to deal with some of the latest gaming applications available today. Additional features include WiFi support, optional Blu-ray and the built-in HDMI port to provide users with support for both gaming and home-entertainment systems.

Packed inside a compact Silverstone SST-SG05 chassis and featuring Asetek's LCLC water-cooling solution, the LAN Mini H2o is priced at US$965 for the basic configuration. The system can be ordered directly from the PC vendor and comes with a series of upgrade and customization options.
