Chillblast Fusion Infinity review
Our Rating :
Price when reviewed : £999
inc VAT Well built, with an excellent monitor, the Fusion Infinity isn't the fastest Sandy Bridge i5 PC around, but it's still a superb performer and a well-rounded package.
Specifications
4.6GHz Intel Core i5-2500K, 8GB RAM, 24in 1,920×1,080 display, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

The PC comes with a 24in Iiyama E2410HDS monitor. It looks great, with even backlighting vibrant, natural colours. It’s virtually identical to the E2409HDS we reviewed recently and has the same VGA, DVI and HDMI inputs. The keyboard and mouse are a generic Logitech MK250 wireless set. They work well enough but the keyboard feels a little rattly. The Logitech S220 2.1 speaker set is also basic but it sounds surprisingly rich for its compact size.
The Fusion Infinity is well built and comes with a great monitor and a two-year collect-and-return warranty. It performed well but it couldn’t quite rival Wired2Fire’s massively overclocked Hellspawn XFire.
