ASUS Launches Trio of Ivy Bridge-Powered Desktops

ASUS launched a trio of Republic of Gamers TYTAN series gaming desktop models. These include the CG8580, CG8270 and CM6870. The TYTAN CG8580 utilizes ASUS' signature ROG chassis. It is powered by Intel Core i7-3770K quad-core processor overclocked to 4.60 GHz, with ROG Turbo Gear function that handles on-the-fly overclocking. Handling the graphics is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680. Up to 16 GB of dual-channel DDR3 memory, and up to 10 TB of storage are available as options. A Blu-ray ROM + DVD-RW combo drive is part of the package.

Next up is the CG8270, with a refreshing new slanted chassis design. It comes with a variety of Core i5 and Core i7 "Ivy Bridge" processor options. NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 comes standard, higher GeForce GTX models can be opted for. Up to 4 TB of storage, and BDR+DVD-RW combo drive can be opted for. Lastly, there's the CM6870, which is designed to strike a balance between gaming and media creation/consumption. It packs similar hardware loadout as the CM8270, but with a media-optimized chassis that packs a multi-format card reader; and apart from NVIDIA GeForce, AMD Radeon graphics options are available. With the latter two, ASUS-branded monitors, keyboards, and mice can be opted for.

That RoG case looks just plain silly. It doesn't make sense. I quite like their laptops for having an 'under the radar' design but still looks very nice. A sort of French car look. But this is just bonkers. IMO anyway.

Love Asus everything, but these chassis just seem like a mountain of plastic, well thought out though I am sure. Asus is outstanding!

I wish they sold the PC case of the last model alone. Not with prebuild configurations :)

Well, I dunno about your machine, but my TYTAN! is doing just fine. Just don't touch the front panel. Like anywhere. Or it hard reboots. And see the flimsy plastic power button? That piece of shit barely lasted longer than ten years before it just quit. So I just took the front of the case off and manually touch the contact using my hand-noodles. Don't worry, the contact is insulated. Mostly. Just don't accidentally touch any of the exposed metal. It sits on insulated plastic. And I have taken to wearing plastic crocs so that if I accidentally bump it with my foot it doesn't hard reboot. But everything else is just great.
