I'm very happy to have purchased this as my first ever PC. If you want to play anything extensive you'll have to buy a new graphics card, but there's plenty of room for upgrading and the rest of the computer runs like a charm. The extra components are a lot sturdier than I expected and setting it up was super easy and exciting. I felt like a kid on Christmas when I opened it up for the first time. I've had it for almost two years now and there hasn't been any change in quality of performance.

First, the computer came a few days late... not that big of a deal. Second, I unboxed the computer to find that whoever built the machine didn't secure the hard drive properly, so it was loose in the case. I'm surprised it didn't break the glass side of the case during shipping. So, I thought, no big deal and screwed it into the bracket and attached the bracket to the inside of the case where it should have been. However, I turned it on, and the hard drive didn't work. Not a big surprise there. So I immediately called tech support at iBuyPower, and they issued me a code to enter to get an RMA to make a parts switch. I did as instructed online, and it said that it could take a day or two to issue the RMA, so I waited. Nothing. I finally bought a new drive myself and installed it so I can use the machine. The machine works fine now that I bought and installed a hard drive myself, but I'm still waiting for my RMA to replace the faulty one, AND FOR iBuyPower TO MAKE GOOD on the replacement. I will revise my rating if they do. This has been a huge hassle for me, and I am SUPER disappointed at this point with iBuyPower. Also, there was a card that came with the computer that said if I register the machine, I would get a gift of some sort. So I did. I entered my information along with the purchase and computer serial number. I submitted the form online, and it went to a "Thanks for registering" screen w/ no further instructions on how to get a gift. I don't expect a gift when I register a product, but if you say I am going to get one, then I do.
