Minotaur X4 - $2999

Noise Reducing FoamCan you hear it?
The GBuys Minotaur is built from the quietest components on the market. With sound dampening foam troughout the case, silicone-mounted case fans, the most powerful fanless video card, and multiple heat pipes, the Minotaur only produces half the noise of its "silent" competitors but it is also one of the most powerful air-cooled machines on the market. Our machines are rated at a true 22.8 decibel rating which means you won’t even know it’s on!

Intelligent Design
 Using fans strategically placed within the case, a wind tunnel is created to rid the excess heat as efficiently as possible. The powerful quad-core processor’s heat is dissipated using 6 heat pipes with a heatsink almost three times the size and volume of our competitors’ OEM heatsink. The GTX 280, one of the most powerful graphic cards available on the market today, is also layered with a massive 410g aluminum heatsink mounted with 6 heat pipes which transfer the heat to a completely silent 19.2 decibel 92mm fan. The powerful nVidia video processor is not only whisper quiet, it also runs much cooler at a full 10ºC to 20ºC cooler than stock under idle and load.

Powerful Components
Why settle for anything less? The Minotaur is built from the most powerful components available today. We want you to make a smart investment by getting a computer that will last you years on end, not just months. As an added bonus, every GBuys computer is backed by an upgrade service: When you feel that it’s time to upgrade, send us an e-mail and we’ll quote you the parts and upgrade, service, and clean your machine for you with no labor fees!

Power, Noise, Heat and Value

Minotaur: Silent, Cool, and Powerful
The Minotaur offers processing performance and gaming graphics that surpass the vast majority of gaming computers currently sold. In reality, some competitors do offer similar gaming power. For that price, however, their machines run hot and noisy. No competitor can match the heat dissipation and silence of the Minotaur. As a result, their machines vibrate and overheat. The Minotaur solves these issues, giving you an all-around better computer... for the same price.
