The Cryo Arachnid takes full advantage of the AMD Phenom II true Quad core processing technology. With its uniquely scalable architecture of tiered cache, Hyper Transport and four independent cores it brings Enterprise Class models of design to the desktop at an incredibly low price compared to competitors offerings. With its unique internal design AMD are theoretically far less reliant on pure clock speeds for performance. 

The Cryo Arachnid is designed for those demanding the best value processing and graphics power from a highly scalable design.  All packed into the elegant Lian-Li V1010Z standard medium tower black anodised aluminium case, with ample room for a lot of expansion and any future upgrades without getting cramped or suffering excessive heat.
