It seems like every other CES 2017 announcement involves a new gaming system or accessory. If anyone ever thought that PC gaming was dead and that only mobile devices and consoles matter, this year’s selection of new PC gaming products should put those fears to rest.

The latest company to announce their upcoming gaming systems is CyberPower, which along with its Syber Gaming division is introducing a number of new and updated gaming PCs.

Syber XL-Series

First up is the Syber XL Series, which looks to focus on making sure that whether you choose a seventh-generation Intel Core, Intel Broadwell-E, or AMD Ryzen CPU, large cases with superior airflow will keep them cool. In addition to improved thermal management, the systems’ cases will support up to four GPUs, eight drives, and elaborate liquid cooling systems in customized systems that are checked by the company’s SyberLab technicians to make sure they’re correctly built and tested. The Syber XL Series machines will be shipping in the second quarter of 2017, and pricing will start at $999.

CyberPowerPC Hyper Cooling Series

The new liquid cooling systems will offer a 14 percent improvement over Corsair H55 coolers on overclocked CPUs, and a 27 percent improvement over standard GPU coolers.

CyberPowerPC will offer five models in the Hyper Liquid line, with a choice between AMD Ryzen of seventh-generation Intel Core processors. Pricing will start at $1,549 for Hyper Liquid Core systems and will top out at the Black Mamba configuration at $6,589.

CyberPowerPC’s Pro Streamer line will get a refresh at CES 2017. Currently part of the company’s Creator line of products, then updated systems will receive seventh-generation Intel Core processors and Intel Z270 chipsets. The Pro Streamer 1100 will start at $2,365 with a Core i5 processor.

How to set an ‘Out of Office’ message in Microsoft Teams
Person using Windows 11 laptop on their lap by the window.

Many people use Microsoft Teams regularly to communicate with colleagues both inside of the office and remotely. It is considered one of the most efficient ways to ensure you can stay in contact with the people on your team, but what if you need to let people know you’re not readily available? Microsoft Teams has a method for you to set up an "Out of Office" status for your profile to let staff members know when you’ll be gone for the afternoon, for several days on vacation, or for an extended period.
Where do I go to set up my ‘Out of Office’ status for Teams?
It is important to note that your Microsoft Teams and Outlook calendars are synced. This includes your out-of-office status and automatic replies. So, whatever you set up in Microsoft Teams will reflect in Outlook. Similarly, you can set up your out-of-office status in Outlook, and it will be reflected in Teams; however, the former has a more straightforward instruction.

First, you can click on your profile icon in Teams and go directly to Schedule an out of office, as a shortcut. This will take you to the settings area where you can proceed. You can also click the three-dot icon next to your profile icon, then go to Settings > General, then scroll down to the bottom of the page. There, you'll find out-of-office settings and click Schedule.
