Fast enough, but was not equipped with a simple DVD player /burner, OR a WiFi card. Rather useless that way for anything but gaming.

Eagleone,
Thank you for your review. This PC is built for moderate gaming out of the box. And though it does not come with WiFi or an optical drive (the chassis does not support an internal optical drive), it is fully compatible with both external and internal wireless options, as well as external optical drives, since the build does not use any proprietary parts!
If you require any assistance, or have any questions regarding your new CybertronPC, please don't hesitate to reach out to our friendly Customer Service Staff toll-free at 1-855-490-2569.
Thank you,

Second one of these I tried. Both had power supplies that went bad before the return window closed. I thought the first one might be a fluke. Tried another since I could return out and get a new one shipped before the three week window from manufacturer gave. Still no good. Avoid this one

This computer is nothing like cyber tron said it was. You can't play any games on it. I had to purchase a bigger graphics card and I am not sure if games will play on it yet also have to purchase a bigger sad card. Not worth the money for this computet

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This is very good for using low and somewhat high end games for example games like gta 5,witcher 3,and playerunkowngrounds. But there is a flaw, the graphics card, you can overclock it to only 2048 MB and 4.10 GHz which is great for a lot games but not enough to run games on ultra. The ram is terrific and the hard rive space is too. When getting this PC make sure to have money to switch out the CPU and graphics card to get way better performance in games.

Great starter PC

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This is a great starter PC. The only problem I had with this PC when I bought it was that it does not have a HDMI port on it. It has a DVI port and a D-sub Port. which means VGA port. You can either buy a DVI adapter or a VGA cable for this PC for your monitor. I did a little gaming on it and it is great. I will be upgrading the CPU and the graphics card on it next year to get a little better performance on it. :)

perfect performance, very quiet, and nice on space. I wish I could change the brightness of the inside light to be a bit brighter as it is kind of dark, and there is a faint whistle almost from one of the fans.

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I bought this as a gift for my self a lil something for working all though the summer and to be honest I wasn't expecting much but it's fast for the price and it can do some casual gaming on medium to low settings around 30 fps. Everything about this computer is solid for its price point but if you don't have access to a eathernet port and you have to go wireless but you want to add a video card go for a USB wifi adapter and not a wifi card because the wifi card will block most video cards. But with all of that aside the computer is good for the price just don't expect crazy performance from it. Also the fans can get a bit loud when idling if it has been left on for an exclusive amount of time.

Good Starting Out

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Good gaming PC for starting out. From someone who is into gaming, I have found this to be a perfect solution. I am glad the company keeps these affordable with just enough to power up my games.
I have tried some of my high-end games on this, and on low-med settings, does pretty well. I will look into upgrading the graphics card later, but I am happy with what this offers.
Pros: Runs quietly, no overheating, nice airflow, ample storage space, fast, upgradable.
Cons, None I could find as of yet.

Not what I thought

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I bought this PC to replace my 4 yr old Dell which was starting to crash playing my video game. UT99, a 17 year old fps game.
This PC wouldn't even play it until I installed my video card!
The onboard video (which is built into the motherboard) is totally inadequate for serious gaming.
This PC does not seem super fast, or extraordinary, about the same level as what it was replacing.
I will be bringing it back and putting my old Dell back in service, it's just as fast, and may be more reliable.

Buelligan,
Thank you for choosing a CybertronPC Electrum system; we regret that your experience was not what you expected it to be.
We would like to stress that we absolutely respect your opinion and observations. We would also like to respectfully point out that the majority of those who have reviewed the system have found it to be well suited for their needs. These differences are primarily due to what games and other programs any given individual runs on the system.
This brings us to UT99. Sometimes, due to the changes that occur in hardware and software over time, it can actually be more difficult to get a very old program to run on a newer system.
We are surprised that it would not run until you installed a video card. We suspect a driver version compatibility issue, as both the processing and graphics capabilities of the A6-7400K APU – an AMD processor chip with an AMD Radeon R5 graphics chip incorporated – in the system meet or exceed the minimum requirements for UT99, and can be found in compatibility lists for the program.
If you have not yet returned the system, we would humbly ask that you allow us to see if we can assist you, and get the game running and performing more as expected. Our Friendly Customer Service Team would be glad to help; simply contact us toll-free by phone at (855) 490-2569, or by email at: [email protected].
We firmly believe that should you provide us that opportunity, you would also be very pleased with the reliability of the system. Every computer we build has to pass through a strenuous testing checklist and burn-in period, prior to be packaged for shipment.
We are so confident in the systems we build, that we back each with not only a 1 Year Parts Warranty, but also a Lifetime Labor Warranty and Free Lifetime Technical Support.
Thank you again, Buelligan; we hope the above has been helpful, and we hope to hear from and assist you soon!

This Cybertron PC is perfect. Was shopping for a tower PC for home gaming, as well as home audio recording and processing. Works flawlessly, the fan is whisper quiet, which is perfect for audio work. Pair this with a nice monitor and you got a clean runnin gamin PC runnin wild in your house. Best RAM+processor power per buck value.

Awful price for an awful PC
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I got this PC expecting something for good low to mid-range gaming about a year and a half ago. Little did I know, this PC didn't even have a discrete graphics card, and an AMD A6 CPU is worse than most school laptops have. And of course, I couldn't top 20-30 fps on any game, even MINECRAFT. Not to mention, the internet on this PC was an utter disappointment. If I were you, I'd save $60 more and get the popular PC made by CyberPowerPC. It actually has a decent CPU and a real GPU.

Jack, we appreciate and thank you for your choice of an Electrum series system!
While as evidenced by the high rating that the system has at this time (01/26/2018), the vast majority of Electrum owners are pleased, we honestly regret that your experience has not been a satisfactory one.
As to gaming performance, the system as shipped runs many games quite well. However, as with most computers, there are those games that exceed the default capabilities of the machine.
Each game publisher provides minimum system requirements, and often recommended system requirements as well, for their games. It is important to compare those requirements to the specifications of the system, to determine how well it can be expected to run, if at all.
If the system meets the minimum system requirements, then it should run acceptably, but at low settings.
If the system meets or exceeds the recommended system requirements, then it should run very well, even with many features turned on, and at higher settings.
If someone has questions about whether a game will run or not, they are welcome to contact our Friendly Customer Service Team ([email protected], or 855.490.2569), and we will gladly help them.
You are correct, that the system does not have a discrete graphics card. However, one can easily be added if desired. In fact, because the system doesn’t use any proprietary parts, the computer is fully upgradeable, so it can evolve to meet the changing needs of its owner.
And because we feel very strongly that our customers should be in control of the configuration of their CybertronPC system, we take two very important measures: 1) Modifying the system configuration does *not* void the Warranty (1 Year Parts, Lifetime Labor)
2) Even if the system has been modified, for as long as someone owns a CybertronPC system, they can contact our Friendly Customer Service Team, and we will gladly assist them
In addition, there may be specific drivers that could be used, or settings that could be optimized, to improve game performance while maintaining good visuals.
There are also non-system related variables that can affect game performance as well. For example many games have ‘mods’ that can slow the game down, especially if multiples are installed, and if playing online, the internet connection and number of concurrent players can be factors as well.
So, if you would like us to assist you with settings / drivers that may allow the games you are wanting to play run faster and/or with more visual effects turned on, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you again, Jack – we hope to hear from you, so that we can try to make your overall experience with your Electrum a more positive one!
