Computer Shopper reviews the Cyberpower Gamer Dragon 9500. Why "Dragon," you ask? The name is not caprice on the part of Cyberpower. Like "Maui," AMD's media platform, "Dragon" is another of AMD's synergistic compilations of parts, this time combining the new Phenom II processors, motherboards using AMD's 790 chipset, and Radeon HD 4800-series graphics cards. The end result is cohesive set of components that AMD hopes will be the equivalent of a computing race car in a box.
When the Dragon arrived, there was a puncture through its outer box, through an inch and a half of gray foam, and a break in the skin on the inner packing box. The lift from the floor to our test bench revealed a rattle inside the Thermaltake Element S midtower case, but a quick visual check showed no apparent damage to the case itself.
