Introduction:

Small Form Factor (SFF) systems are making a big splash in the PC market as consumers demand something more sleek and stylish than a full sized PC, and can also fit on their desk. With popularity at an all time high, many companies are jumping on the SFF bandwagon presenting systems with loads of features packed inside a little box. In steps Syntax with their latest high-end SFF system, the EZ-Clocker I-Series, based on the Intel 865G (Springdale) chipset to support the latest 800FSB P4 processors.

The EZ-Clocker's most prominent feature is the dial on the front panel to allow for easy overclocking of the CPU, but that is just one of the many features packed inside this little tower of power. Some other nice features are an all aluminum chassis, 7-in-1 card reader, USB 2.0 & Firewire, and gigabit Ethernet.

Here's what Syntax has to say about the EZ-Clocker:
"Full throttle forward, in both design form and function, Syntax is a worthy of mention. With innovation driven design such as the EZ Clocker, Syntax manages to appease the overclocking crowd with an easy turn dial on the chassis bezel that pumps the clock speed up as it is turned. All that goodness developed in an aluminum case that will turn heads as well."
