Buying this computer from ibuypower

[Blonde]

yeah, a lot of people have told me that they're getting a system there since I posted this. Hope my system doesn't take extra long cause of all of the extra business.

Delete the POST? Or get commision... 3weeks is long. Fvckers.

a note, the power supplies they give are generic (you pay $60 extra for enermax). At the time you order, they can tell you the exact brand of memory or video card you would get depending on what they have in stock.

Definitely, the extras spent on a good board = well worth it.

Hard drive, you could probably get the lowest one they offer then put the $ towards getting one locally since you can frequently find 120GB's for $60 or 160GB's for $80. See Hot Deals once in a while

Blonde, NO THEY CAN'T!!! They can't even tell you what BRAND of memory they are going to send with your computer! I just called them and the guy "richard" aka the asshole, told me he can't tell me. what a flame. And he says it will take 3 weeks to deliver what a crock.. this company is quickly starting to blow.

I talked to a few guys so far, but I just spoke to Lee x118, and he said he can tell me what memory they have available when I order.

Hey, I bought from ibuypower before and let me tell you......they AREN'T the best company out there. Let me start out first of all by saying their support sucks! There are so many bad things to say about this company I don't even know where to start...

I recommend you spend the extra money for the enermax PSU or don't get one and buy one on your own. They give you a turbolink 420 watt PSU, I wouldn't recommend this esp since your gettin a 9800...

Second, on my system they sent me sihtty ram, it's GEIL and it's bad...DO NOT buy a gig of this crap, you'll regret it.

The DVD player is good, it's a sony and its pretty quiet and performs well.

The CD-RW they send is crap, it's loud and takes a while to spin up.

The monitor I originally ordered was pretty good, they are very good painters IMO.

Now onto their service....it's terrible especially when you order, they don't contact you and you don't know when your system will go out. Here's my full story

If you have any other questions, PM me

Just checked with the BBB, and they have a good rating. Plus good reviews, and a gold rating at resellerratings.com, so I'm taking the chance, so I'll let you guys know what I think in a few weeks I guess. BTW, when I placed my order, I chose the Kingston memory out of what they had.

Good Luck...hope you don't get screwed like I did...

BTW: how did you get to choose Kingston memory? I thought they just sent whatever they pick....

2 thumbs up i refered this company to a friend that doesn't know or wants to build computers and he ordered his computer and so far its running perfect only problem is that some of their stuff aren't adverised as a brand name.


And i also suggest building ur own computer you might get it a little cheaper and the exact components you want and really want use HEY im 14 and i did my own

Just to make sure I was getting something good, I called and checked what was available in inventory.
