Another minor detail, the Audigy sound card had the front plate option and a cable wasn't connected to enable the ports on it. Luckily, I'm not hardware retarded so it wasn't a big deal. About a year later my hard drive died, can't really blame them on that one either. It was covered by my warranty so they sent me a UPS shipping label for return and got a new one back in a reasonable time.
Overall I'd say it was an average-ish experience and given the option between them or alienware/northwest/voodoo etc, the decision was/is easy. And don't give me the apples and oranges excuses, same processors, same drives, same OS, and yet 1000's higher price tag? Noone's rep is worth that unless you're that insecure... and alienware always seems to be slightly behind the curve on new cpu's and video card options. No crossfire setup, still...? If Nvidia is giving them some great deal for that it doesn't show in their prices. Not trying to turn this into an alienware bash. I've never owned their products, maybe they are well built with great customer service. But when I can afford to buy 2 pc's with the price difference, they make it easier for me to afford issues that might arise from a lesser known company. |
Just read your post. I have been looking at cyberpowerpc and ibuy
power myself. What kind of system did you buy and how has the unit performed. As for build quality, how do you rate cyberpowerpc out of a possible 10? If you could do it again, would you buy a michine from this company or from another company like ibuypower? I do not want to give my money to Dell, Alienware or Voodoo.
