5/5

posted Nov-20-2009
My son wanted a gaming computer for his birthday on 11/20 for his WOW gaming. My budget was around $600.00 which ruled out most systems. Many of the websites that offered lower cost gaming systems seemed pretty shady and had many bad reviews. I finally came upon Lanlabs/ShopL2 and the info on their site impressed me. The Level 1 system had great specs and name brand components and was in my price range so I figured I would give them a try.
I placed an order on 11/1/09.It shipped 11/12/09 and it was del.on 11/14/09. I was worried it might not come in time for his b-day but it came with a week to spare. Shipping was a very reasonable $22.00 for ground shipping and only took 2 days. Other sites were charging $60.00+ for ground shipping.
He opened it up on his b-day and was very impressed. He figured that based on what we were spending that he was going to get just a basic HP or Dell. We set it up,installed his game and he was playing within 30 minutes with no problems. I got the upgraded fans for $35.00 and it is very quiet. We got a Windows 7 rating of 6.3 for processor and ram and 6.4 for graphics. My only minor complaint is that they should include a detailed build sheet listing every component.
The bottom line is that we are very pleased so far with the Level 1 Gamer. I did a lot of research and this system is with out a doubt the best bang for the buck for a budget pre-built system. Well done Lanlabs!
