    * if you buy this it will be delivered in its original box not a basic brown box so just a FYI Incase you won’t be home for delivery. Parts list Msi RTX 2080 super Gigabyte z390 UD motherboard XPG gammix 16gb(8x2) Ram ddr4 3000 Didn’t get chance to check ssd/hdd/power supply All USB ports appear to be 3.0 ports(blue) Graphics card has 3 display ports and 1 hdmi Keyboard and mouse are cheap of course but they get the job done of basic computer use. Wouldn’t try to game with them. Motherboard has empty slot for m.2 ssd. Tight spot under the cpu cooler where it’s labeled m2a and you can see the mount screw (see pics for location) I was wanting to build a PC but with lack of available parts and options I decided to buy prebuilt. If you want performance this is definitely a PC to consider. I can get 240fps out of cod warzone easily with a safe overclock (see pics for setting) and with no overclock it was around 215fps. I can’t speak on the stock ram and how it performed. Only change I made was upgrading ram to gskill trident z neo 32gb 3600 on amazon for $180 and adding 1tb Samsung m.2 ssd in the available slot. It did come with a deepcool cpu cooler. I planned on changing to a kraken or corsair cooler but this one does the job so far. I’ll update with my temps Later on after playing for a few hours overclocked to give accurate examples. The LCD screen on the case is very nice. Looks very good and with a $4 wallpaper program you can change it to whatever you like. I just chose some random wallpapers to start off. I personally chose the LCD so I can monitor my GPU/CPU temps right on the tower with a clear white screen (see pics) Not sure the exact price if you were to build this yourself (I’ve heard there’s almost no difference) but with the availability of parts and the Parts cost markup of having ibuypower building one of your choosing I decided on this prebuilt. I regret not getting it sooner. Stays cool and runs 240fps while looking really cool if you care about that. Enough said If you decide on this PC make sure to have/get a 240hz monitor. I paired mine with the BenQ Zowie xl2740 and it’s great.

    Out of the box this PC works and is easy to set up, there are some cosmetic issues that are disappointing considering the computers price tag. I got the computer delivered yesterday and met the delivery guy outside of my house. The box was a little beat up and keyboard box was smashed in. Keyboard and mouse that comes with it are of basic quality, but are aesthetically pleasing just like the Snowblind itself. Biggest issue is LCD screen itself, it has many imperfections all over the screen. I wouldn't be as upset if it were one or two, but they're all over. Biggest annoyance was the glue on the I/O shield from the sticker that comes on it, I used over 10 alcohol pads on it and I am posting a picture of what it looks like AFTER I cleaned it (still looks yucky). One small paint issue on the side of the case that has the LCD screen on it, but it is tiny. I also posted a picture of the GPU's statistics while downloading Microsoft's airplane simulator while also playing music and having multiple other things running in the background. Computer itself is very quiet, only wish it was lit up better on the inside. Other than the cosmetic issues, this is a good start up PC. Would buy again but maybe not have it delivered and see if that is cause for the LCD screen imperfections.

    This is the 4th Ibuypower computer I have owned. I bought most of them directly from the company, but this was even easier. The computer is amazingly fast, quiet and really looks contemporary. The side panel LED is unlike any bling I have seen on/in a computer and I have been creating my own, buying and modding them for many years. Download Wallpaper Engine from Steam ($3.99) and the choices are limitless. It works exactly as I expected. I only give this build a 5 because I can't give it a 6! Oh, I ordered it on Thursday. They told me it would be here on Sunday and arrived at my house on Saturday. Talk about quick delivery!

    so after coming from playing games on ps4 I wanted to get into pc gaming and I have to say this pc is an absolute monster when it comes to running games. I`m able to play modern warfare on all settings set to high and still crank about 300fps acourse though I have to cap it but i`m able to get high fps on all I games I play including fortnite with amazing graphics. Defenitly reccomend this pc to anyone that wants to get into pc gaming, but I do have one note before you would buy this pc which is to make sure whatever monitor you buy has a display port cable with it or if it doesn`t have one with it buy one to use with your monitor because the lcd side panel on the case uses the only hdmi on the graphics card so make sure you get a display port if you want to utilize the side lcd which is also AMAZING. along with the keyboard and mouse which are pretty decent as well. overall really pretty and awesome build. IBUYpower did awesome with this one !!!

    When I received the Snowblind The packaging was decent but it did get a little beat up on delivery. The directions was pretty easy to follow, plugged everything up and powered on the system, my keyboard and mouse lit up but I got nothing on my monitor. My monitor was reading “No Signal” so I switched from HDMI to Display and still “No signal”. I thought that it might have been my monitor so I plugged it up to my laptop and it worked. So inspected the machine as thoroughly as possible and noticed the graphics card and RAM was not properly installed. The case seamed a bit warped so the screws that were meant to fasten the graphics card was actually pulling it out of place. So I had to undo and take out everything and put them back in to be sure it’s in securely. Plugged my monitor back in and powered it back on and it finally got a signal from the PC. From time to time it makes a weird sound like when you pull the plug on your computer and it makes that disk scratch sound. Other than that experience it is a beautiful powerful rig and I’m currently not in a position to return it due to some goals and time constraints I need it’s power right now. Hopefully I have no other issues moving forward.

    I was looking to buy a new computer and while shopping at Best Buy online discovered a computer, I liked quite a bit. I had some questions though about the specs and how that would translate to real-world use and so I looked on the web page to find someone to call and talk to about it. At the bottom of the page was the ibuypower phone number although the computer that I was looking at was not that brand. The gentleman on the line however was really helpful and was happy to look at the current model I was looking at and help me workout if that was good for me. He didn't try to up-sell his brand just tried to explain the different components to me and how that would relate to real word usage. I later ended up going with an ibuypower computer simply because his customer service was so good and after talking to other people, I learned at the ibuypower brand has a history of being top-notch computers. I have a Snowblind desktop which is absolutely fantastic, and I've enjoyed using every day so far five stars.

    Ibuypower makes fantastic PC's. I owned the Ibuypower Snowblind 956, & due to a replacement, I now own the Snowblind S. My PC crashed during the beginning of COVID-19 and I had to send it into Geek Squad to get fixed. I was sent a gift card for a replacement PC due to something faulty. So whether you get your PC directly from Ibuypower or a retail store such as Best Buy, you are assured good quality service. I only have a slight problem with a small indentation on the tower that must have happened during transit. Other than that, everything is fine.

    This computer came earlier today. Box had some dings. The side screen when powered on was flipped upside down. It was projected upside down. So I had to set windows up upside down. To be able to get into settings and flip it back to normal. The side screen can not be on if you want to use your tv as the monitor. The side screen can only has one hdmi port. You can not have the side screen on and project to your tv at the same time unless you buy a display cable. There’s no cd drive so all your pc games would have to be repurchased on download. Or you will have to buy a separate dvd drive. There’s only two USB ports on top and that fills up fast. I saw a i7 Dell with more storage. It does seem upgradable though. But to do so you would have to replace the back panel that covers up the empty areas. Although very spacious inside. Everything is crammed in there. You’ll have to rearrange things just to get to where you want to be if upgrading. If this had a dvd drive and more ports in the front and ease of use. Then I would recommend it. But I just can’t recommend it. It failed my standards. It’s going back in the morning. 2 thousand dollars and it can’t do what a normal pc can. Or have what a normal pc has.

    I can’t believe this kind of machine was purchased from a mass electronics store and sold to end users as myself. The LCD screen display was cracked/upside upon arrival. Updated drivers and windows and only 1 HDMI port worked. DP, audio, mic inputs were not working. 2x USB slots were not working. For it being $2,000, and iBuyPowers “gaming”machine, it was the worst purchase I’ve made yet!

      Hello,

      We are sorry to hear your system came with so many issues. Our PC's go through a series of quality control tests to make sure they work properly before they ship out. It sounds like parts were damaged during transit, which is unfortunately outside of our control. If you return the system to your local Best Buy they should be able to give you a new one. ibp-AW

    Great Rig. As soon as I got it, I replaced the ram sticks with corsair 16 gig sticks ddr4 3200. Doesn't really get hot. I don't overclock and I get over 220 fps when playing gears 5. Keyboard and mouse aren't the best. Nicely designed and good cable management. PC also only has 3 display ports and 1 hdmi port. No DVI ports!!! Paired with Alienware - AW2518H 25" LED FHD G-SYNC Monitor, everything was buttery smooth and game changing experience for me. The only thing id get is a external harddrive for games. Im still using out of the box settings as well. The only con I see for me is the LCD display that the chassis has Is way too dark and I have no idea how to make it brighter or if I can make it brighter.

    I quite like the PC I got from iBUYPOWER. The case is beautiful, the build is very clean and the price was good for the i9-9900KF and the RTX 2080 SUPER. One thing I'm planning to improve is the cooler. The CPU gets very hot (more than I feel comfortable) under heavy use. The performance so far seems to be what is expected from the components (really good!) and according to UserBenchmark.com, my computer is a UFO for Gaming, a Nuclear Submarine Desktop and a UFO workstation (https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/32088125). I ordered with one-day shipping, but it got delayed by one day. Got a refund for the shipping even though I would've happily payed that amount for the time it took to have it delivered.

    So far so good. The first Snowblind I bought was defective and I was extremely happy upon receiving the new one. Setup was a breeze and the computer runs incredibly well. The Windows drivers were fairly up to date along with the GPU driver. Additionally, the expanded foam inside the case is a nice touch. I am a fan of the LCD screen, however it is a little dim. It took some time to set up and was not incredibly intuitive (IE. the widgets and animated backgrounds). Overall, I have thoroughly enjoyed the PC so far. I only gave it 4 stars because the first model was defective.

    Traditionally used to build PC's but wanted to take t he hassle out of it. Searched multiple build sites, a lot always wanting to upgrade you out the gate vs just having a pre-built PC as an option. Good thing iBUYPOWER partners and sells through Best Buy as this build had the processor, graphics card and overall specs to easily play anything I want on full res with no issues. The look is very nice, haven't used the side panel display as much due to desk setup, but the PC is quieter than my prior Full ATX Antec case and looks lot sleeker with the front lights. Considering GPU, mobo and processor costs alone, very much pleased in this product.

    Just purchased when this was on sale for $200 less and I’m loving it so far. Kinda thought the white lights would show through the glass more. As you can see in the picture, almost no light is coming though the glass which is kinda lame cause I wanna show off my 2080 super and the “blinding white light.” Also upon opening it and setting it up I realized the gpu only has one hdmi port and 3 display ports, and seeing how my monitor is an hdmi, there was no place to plug in the lcd screen hdmi. So now I have to make a separate purchase for a hdmi to display port. Really would have been nice if that was included. Other than that I’m happy with it.
