APHROS XS

The Aphros XS is one of the most powerful systems available. Powered by two Intel Core 2 QX9775 Quad CPUs means this system doesn’t just crunch numbers, it smashes them. Backing up the processors and bearing the graphical grunt is a pair of the most powerful GPUs available to gamers on the market today. The 4870X2 tames even the greediest graphical gluttons like Crysis and will offer you the best seat in the house to view thousands of gaming worlds at resolutions as high as 2560x1600.

Seeing as the Aphros XS comes with Beast’s Paraflow cooling solution, one of the most effective liquid cooling set-ups on the market. It would be a shame not to overclock the two CPUs and increase the amount of power that this system is capable of from unthinkable to unimaginable.

If you are a person with very little patience the XS is for you, download, encode and play all at the same time. The eight cores of pure CPU performance beating in the heart of this machine wont even break a sweat. In fact they will probably ask you for more.

Memory munching applications for video editing, 3D rendering and music creation are also taken into account, as the 8gb of memory is enough to wrestle the most demanding applications into submission.
