CYBERPOWERPC subsidiary SYBER introduced the Vapor Xtreme gaming console packed with Nvidia's freshly-baked GeForce GTX 980 graphics card. This "console" could have been deemed as a Steam Machine had it included SteamOS and the Steam Controller; however, this machine arrives with Windows 8.1 (64-bit) and Logitech's F710 Wireless Gamepad, and it boots directly into Steam's Big Picture mode.
"Thanks to the use of standard off the shelf components, with the SYBER Vapor line of PC Gaming consoles, you will never be locked in to your hardware specifications and experience degraded performance as games become more demanding," the press release said.
The specifications show that the default configuration includes Intel's quad-core Core i7-4790K clocked at 4 GHz, Nvidia's GeForce GTX 980 with 4 GB of GDDR5 VRAM, 8 GB of DDR3-1600 MHz memory and a 1 TB 7200 RPM SATA 3 hard drive. Powering this "console" is a 450 watt power supply.
The "Xtreme" model also comes equipped with one USB 3.0 port, two USB 2.0 ports and an audio/microphone jack on the front. On the back, the device includes headphone and SPDIF HD audio jacks, two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, HDMI 4.1 output and a DVI-D port. There's also a Gigabit Ethernet port for connecting to a wired network, and it has Wireless N connectivity.

This is a very nice looking console with nice specs. It's crazy that a console has a 4GHz CPU, and a GTX 980 4GB video card. I think these PC Consoles with Windows 8.1 64bit would be popular among gamers who want the best looking graphics, and lag-free gameplay at 1080P 60 frames per second video, and surround sound.
Plus, you can also use it as a regular computer because it runs on Windows 8.1 64bit which can run thousands of different software, games, and app titles from Steam, EA Origins, GOG, Humble Bundle, Microsoft,and Emulators of older consoles like the N64, PS2, PSX, SNES, and handheld consoles.
