    Bought this PC thinking that a pre-built may not be the best route, but I was wrong! This packaging it came in was extremely well done to ensure no damage. The PC performs well beyond my expectations! This PC has a monitor built into the side of the case and you can do anything on it! ITS FREAKING AWESOME, BUY IT ALREADY!!!!

    This computer requires a code application called rain meter that allows you to get the most out of the built in translucent side panel screen. (Like the old MySpace editor codes)

    Not only can this pc play any game with the highest graphic settings without any sort of struggle, hesitation or slow it down in the least bit. But it also has the unbelievable lcd screen case that has some mind blowing “videos” you can run on the case which makes it look like nothing you’ve ever seen before! It’s an instant attention getter and awes anyone who sees it! Plus having a 1080ti doesn’t hurt it either!

    Awesome PC but not for beginners

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I got this PC after I returned an Alienware R4 17 due to thermal issues. This pc has gone above and beyond any pc I have ever owned! It has absolutely no issues running any game I have at absolute max settings, all while never even exceeding 70'. I couldn't be more pleased with the performance, or with how sexy it is lol. The side panel is absolutely gorgeous, and I couldn't recommend this more for anyone looking for an absolute over the top pc with the best of everything. Only issue i had was that ibuypower sent me the wrong cable for the side panel display. My PC came with an ASUS FE 1080 TI which only has hdmi and displayport to hook up. They sent me a dvi to dvi cable which didnt work for me. I had to go to Best Buy again the next day to get a hdmi to dvi adapter to be able to use the side panel which was disapointing. However, due to everything else being flawless, i am still going to give this PC a big thumbs up and a five star review!

    Great PC, Damaged ports on GPU card and LCD

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    FOR SOME REASON the graphics card was hooked up the LCD side panel port IN BOX. When I removed the tower the ports got damaged (It's packed very snug, and why would I think cables would be hooked up) so the HDMI port on my graphics card is loose, and the port that goes to the LCD panel is bent out of shape...I've had the PC for a few days now and the LCD side panel no longer works. First off why were the cables hooked up in box? Is this a refurbished system advertised as new? I've already emailed ibuypower about this, so hopefully there is some solution that doesnt involve me sending my whole computer in to get fixed one other very minor problem, oil stains on the inside of the LCD panel.. I assume that can be cleaned but have not looked into that yet.

    Awesome computer. The side panel is amazing. Was disappointed that there are no instructions for it in the box. But a trip to the ibuypower website and I found the program to do as the display model does. Overall I love the computer and would recommend it to people, which I have already done.

    4/5 Stars from a 15+ year PC Gamer

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    My last pre-built was purchased in the early 2000's when I was but a wee little babby. It wasn't fancy and had no bells, nor whistles. I have built countless computers over the last 15 years, so let me say when I rate this sale it's from someone who HATES to purchase pre-built and feel you're an ignorant tool if you do. However due to the current GPU & memory crisis and desperation for a current build for work *and gaming* I decided to bite the bullet and try out this system for $1800 on sale. All out I'm just over 2k for the system and it would have cost me almost the same with the current market. Figure a $1-2 hundred increase for the current prices even with sales. That premium might deter some people and I get that. (Did I mention there is an LCD screen in the side panel?) before I purchased this system I was planning on doing this exact mod with another case and it being in the computer already was extremely convienant. Now everything isn't golden. I have a CPU temperature problem I'm hoping iBUYPOWER will help me with. The CPU Cooler isn't efficiently cooling the CPU and I'm hoping they supply me with a fix. I am not sure if this is consistant with all the systems but it's a problem when playing higher end games like Battlefield 1 or Star Citizen. The system didn't come with an m.2 screw and also the Wallpaper Engine key. However I also contacted them about those. All and all if they can fix my temperature problem somehow I'll come back and 5 star this. End-game you only buy pre-built for 2 reasons, 1. If you're ignorant and just haven't learned for whatever reason. & 2. If you're strapped for time and need an updated system. The market is there for these and if you can get a good deal I really do recommend this system. It's a good deal, there are a lot of companies out there and iBUYPOWER after this sale has gotten my trust and recommendation. I was full and willing to take this back to a local Best Buy for a return if I wasn't satisfied. 4/5 stars even with my problems, I'm willing to come back and 5/5 if they help me with my problems.

    The Best

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This computer has truly been the best PC I have ever bought. I have had a couple gaming computers like the Asus G20. Also the Alienware 17 R4 with Gtx 1080 which I returned because of thermal issues. I was very disgruntled when I saw the CPU temp at 97 C. So I quickly returned it and bought the Ibuypower. The Snowblind CPU 8700k never exceeds 80. This is truly a powerhouse. My only complaint was that iBuyPower sent a faulty mouse and dvi cable. They replaced both for me and it was not a big deal. I greatly appreciate iBuypower because they build the computer for you aka prebuilt. I would highly recommend. Game on my people! Also i would recommend getting this computer asap, they may raise the price on the Snowblind. The current GPU cryptomining phase has 1080 Ti’s easily over a grand. I bought the Snowblind when it was 1899. Thats a steal! Currently it is 2299. If cryptomining continues to suck the supply of GPUs then I would imagine them raising the price again on the Snowblind. Good luck eveyone!

    1080ti at this price is worth the prebuild. Bought separate liquid cooler but returned it cause fan cooler was not a disappointment. Suggest buying separate keyboard and mouse. Only major con is that the WiFi adaptor is trash. Suggest buying the ac 1900 tplink if you plan to use WiFi. Complete garbage adapter. Couldn’t even pay me to use that.

    This machine is a beast. Runs everything I throw at it coolly and quietly. The 1080 ti is amazing. The MSI mobo leaves plenty of room for improvement down the road. Sure you could build your own for cheaper but this saved me the headache of doing so. The screen on the side of the case is gorgeous as well and saves real estate on my monitor by allowing me to monitor temps etc from there .

    Cons: No instructions to help setup the snowblind screen on the tower but eventually I got it to work. Pros: This system is crazy powerful, any game you want to play it will run it on ultra no problem. I'm currently playing Dota2, PUBG, Fortnite, CSGO all on ultra with perfect fps.

    WATCH YOUR TEMPS

    So, firstly, this computer is a great value. Good specs for the money, especially with inflated GPU prices. I haven't checked the power supply manufacturer yet, although I expect it to be fairly low-quality. On to the main issue: WATCH YOUR CPU TEMPS!! I powered this on, and loaded up Destiny 2. Instantly, I began to see stutters, and frames dipping into the 50s, in light areas. I checked my settings, made some adjustments, and it still kept happening. After that, I checked my temps. CPU temps were hitting 100 degrees Celsius! Luckily, I keep a spare tube of thermal paste around, so I was able to repaste it quickly, but, there was very little thermal paste on the heatsink, and it was only on one side of the processor die. Be very careful to check your temps if you buy this model. Otherwise, it's been great.

    The build quality is very high with this set up. Plug in and play I did buy it a little over 2 years after it’s initial release so I had to update some graphic drivers. I did have to knock 1 start down for the side panel display. Very cool idea makes it stand out. Hardware was plugged in except no instructions into setting it up correctly not even online. It was very difficult to get it like the display at the store or what they advertise. Also you are paying more for that aesthetic so having it work how it should and just being slapped on was a shame.
