hey guys,

im thinking of purchasing an IBuyPower computer (www.ibuypower.com)

 

if any one of you have purchased a system from them,

what was the experience like? - ive heard some very good things and some very bad things about them (like, they're too lazy to use Screws, so they use glue to put together their parts + horrible customer support)

 

The advantage of buying from them is that its very cheap.

Im getting an

 

Nvidia GeForce FX5700-XT 256 mb graphiucs card

Sound Blaster Live 5.1

asus motherbaord + 5.1 surround + Firewire + 8 USB ports

80gb - i don tneed that much space anyways

amazing lighted case (NZXT Guardian - www.nzxt.com)

512mb ram

logitech z-640 5.1 surround sound

(no monitor)

8x dvd +- RW and a CD RW

 

 

and more for only $1050 ish,

please let me know what you think of IBuyPower if you've bought from it

i dont want to start a flame war, but for anyone else who'se interested in buying a computer, i'd recommend IBUYPOWER.

 

i was a little bit shy about buying from it earlier becuase i was converned with the reliablity.. - but its all cool

 

btw the comptuer came in 1 piece :p works great - same comp costs almost double on HP

This is no pub, just a comment...

If you were in Portugal, or willing to pay the shipment, I would do you a better price... :eek:
