I recently purchased a computer from ibuypower.com. It arrived 2 days ahead of schedule and I could'nt be happier. The system was packaged very well and was set-up in no time. I doubt I will spend much time looking elsewhere when it comes time to upgrade in the future. Thanks very much for performing as advertised.
Wow! What a terrific company. I was hesitant about ordering from a .com, but the deal I got on my computer was worth taking a chance. The computer was received well within the stated time, well packed, with all appropriate cds for all installed programs. I am not a "hardware" oriented user, so I was grateful for the icons showing what went where. Within 20 minutes, I had the system working beautifully including installation of Office, Norton and a D-Link router. I work in the Technology Division of a college and my techie buds couldn't believe I got such a great deal. I highly recommend them and will certainly buy again. Pat
I ordered a high performance gaming machine on 4-29-03. My salesperson, Karla was THE BEST. I needed the machine by 5-9 for my son's birthday. Karla promised me I would get the computer in time without paying the upgraded shipping charge. The computer arrived on May 7th. Karla was very helpfull in getting me the correct parts (I am a p.c. gaming idiot, my son is the one with the knowledge). Karla suggested the appropriate additions (I checked her recommendations with the IT guy at work)and they were apprpopriate. She discouraged me from adding unneeded upgrades also. If you need a great computer at a price that beats anything else I could find on the net. call Karla.
These guys did an awesome job!! Steve was my representitive and never once left me out in the cold. Every question I emailed or called him with he responded to same day every day, it was a no fuss no muss business deal.!! I was givin all the correct parts, as well as the packaging was supurb. I recommend Ibuypower.com for all of you folks out there looking them up right now ;).
EXCELLENT JOB IBUYPOWER.COM!!!!!

So far I am very please with IBUYPOWER. I was really nervous about spending almost $3000 on a system (w/o monitor). I did do a lot of research, and it was between ibuypower and ABS. I got my system about a week before I expected it. I actually received on the day it was supposed to ship. A couple of minor issues, one was they installed the Pioneer DVR-A04 instead of the Pioneer DVR-A05. I called Richard F (my sales rep), and he said he would take care of it. I will post an update on how that goes. The other thing was that my sound card came loose during shipping (easy fix). Other than that, the system seems to be working great. I have had it now going on my third day. Just in case you’re interested here are my specs: ASUS P4C800 mobo, Intel 3.0GHZ 800FSB. 1GB of PC-3200 DDR-400 ram, Radion AIW 9700pro, Creative Audigy 2 Platinum, Klipsch Promidea 5.1 THX speakers, two Maxtor 160GB 7200 8MB, DVD, and DVD-R drives. I have had to call tech support a couple of times. Each time they asked for my phone number and within 15 minutes I received a call back. So far I am extremely glad I decided to go with Ibuypower, and I would recommend them to my friends, and I will look to them again for my next computer (as long as they still have the best deal).
No problems, Got what I ordered and a a great price. Chose Ibuypower over the local computer show because you could choose every little thing, including the type of mouse.
Shipment of PC was a week ahead of schedule. Components are all excellent as is build quality. Will be a repeat buyer and would not hesitate recommending them to anyone. Web based system configuration is better than most.
I've had my computer now for just over a day, but I've already begun to see why I was only able to find glaring reviews of this company on the Internet and in magazines. First of all, I was initially attracted to iBUYPOWER for value. I needed a fast, powerful, feature-rich system with high-end components. It is hardly possible to find such a system when you are on a limited budget. On their website, I was able to customize a computer to suit my needs exactly without making any compromises. Since the price adjusts on the fly, it is easy to see how changing one component affects the price and it is easy to get the system you want for the price you need. I tried many other companies, having the iBUYPOWER website open simultaneously. Every time I made a comparison, I chuckled and moved on to the next site. I quickly realized that they have no competitors; they are in a class of their own. There is no way that I could have gotten a computer as nice as I did for the price that I did from anywhere else. And I did my homework. This from someone who has been an avid computer user for over 20 years. Since I decided to go with iBUYPOWER, I've made several phone calls to the toll-free number. Everyone who has answered the phones has been extremely friendly and very knowledgable. Great customer service and great value will keep me coming back. I ordered my system and received it 6 days AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. This is unprecedented in the computer industry. Out of the box, everything is working great, is configured well and is put together solidly. I am very impressed. Ususally, before I turn on a new computer, I open the case and reseat boards, move things around, and tidy up. One look at this system and I knew that it was put together by someone who knows and cares about computers. On a side note, a friend of mine ordered a computer one week before me from a BIG company that I urged her to avoid. She's still waiting for her computer which was supposed to arrive days ago. Next time, I told her, go with iBUYPOWER!
Assembly, testing and shipping was faster than I had expected, and everything is working exceptionally well. 512 MB ram, MSI KT3 Ultra, AMD Athlon 2000, Radeon 9000 pro for video, 80 GB HDD, plus the rest of it ran $750 - and most PC's in the area that compare to this in performance run closer to $1000. I'm happy with iBuyPower - I'll probably order from them again when it comes time to replace or upgrade.
This was my first purchase from iBUYPOWER.COM, but it won't be my last. I have ordered from several online PC makers (including one of the famous "boutique" companies) but this has been the best experience yet. They have the most flexible and detailed online "configurator" I've ever used and they are very responsive to customer questions. Their prices are excellent too. And when my unit arrived (about a week ahead of their original delivery estimate!) I couldn't have been more pleased. Everything appears to be put together very well and it's been performing like a champ. They even installed a case window that I didn't order (apparently free of charge). Extremely cool! I highly recommend iBUYPOWER.COM.
About 6 mos. ago I bought a new 2000+ AMD computer from iBuyPower. I am writing you to tell you how pleased I am with the computer and especially with the courteous and prompt service I have gotten from the entire staff at iBuyPower. The computer is magnificent. It is large enough to add many more drives and CDs and it works very well. I paid a very reasonable price, with no pressure to upgrade. The few problems I have had have been taken care of promptly and there has been no effort to duck responsibility or make me feel guilty in any way. This is such a welcome change from the usual hard time I’ve been exposed to on a regular basis from most computer associated businesses that I thought I would tell you.
In another 18 mos. or so I will be buying a new computer, it will definitely be from iBuyPower.
I am happy with ibuypower. I got a good price on a superior unit. The online ordering was easy. I talked to a friendly competent sales person. They shipped before they said that they would. It arrived in good condition. One minor problem with an obscured card marking (I am not as knowledgeable as some) was quickley resolved by a call to tech. I will recomend them to others.

Just want everyone to know how pleased I am with my new Gamer Pro computer. I had begun my search last November and toured the various sites like Dell, Gateway, Compaq/HP, etc. but could not find exactly what I wanted on their customizing screens. Then I narrowed my choices to GenTech, AT Group, ABS, and ibuypower. After careful comparison, I decided on ibuypower because of the following: good feedback here at Resellerratings.com, honest cutomer comments on their own website, the ability to get exactly what I wanted in a computer, and price. While the last group of potential purchasing options mentioned above all had good customizing screens, etc., ibuypower had the best pricing for what I wanted. When I ordered, I told Steve that I had done my research and was expecting a great pc right out of the box. The pc shipped two days ahead of schedule and it arrived in excellent condition. The best part was that it worked perfectly right out of the box and is doing everything I had expected it would do. This is only my second brand new computer and since I purchased this pc with an eye to several years of use, I don't know when I will be buying another new computer, but when I do I am coming right back to ibuypower.com. The reputation, pricing, quality control, and ahead of schedule shipping all have made me a very satisfied customer. Thank You for making my purchasing experience a pleasant one, indeed!
