It’s not the first Dragon-based gaming rig out there but, according to ComputerShopper, Cyberpower’s new Gamer Dragon 9500 may just be one of the best bargains around, with it even able to do double duty as a media PC if you’re looking to keep your number of boxes to a minimum. That latter attribute comes larger from its addition of a Blu-ray drive, but the system expectedly really delivers the goods when it comes to gaming, with the ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 graphics (with 2GB of DDR5 memory) helping to pump out some respectable frame rates at even ridiculous resolutions. The $1,499 base price will also get you a generous 1TB hard drive, 4GB of RAM and, of course, the 3.6GHz AMD Phenom II X4 940 processor at the heart of the rig. Hit up the link below for the full rundown, and a few benchmark numbers.

For those of you who spent the better part of Super Bowl Sunday setting one of these crazy contraptions up in your domicile, we’re eager to hear of your experiences. Has it made you want to throw away your cellphone? Are you already regretting the contract you’re now locked into? Are the widgets sufficiently useful? We found ourselves a bit torn as to whether or not the Hub was even a device worth considering given the monthly fee attached, but now that it’s sat in your place for well over a month, we’re anticipating some better feedback from those who’ve used it a time or two. Spill your guts below.
