    iBuyPower - I couldnt resist

    sounds like you're doing the right thing for you. as an experienced PC enthusiast, you're comfortable with handling the issues. For a noob, this might be more difficult. But your experience, as related here, has decided me against iBuyPower.

    iBuyPower - I couldnt resist

    Thanks for the tip, Dtizilla. You too, Andon Sage. Was wondering if AVA is poised to be another IBuyPower/ CyberPower? they all seem to offer really steep discounts. wondering if they have the money left over to pay for really good support techs. from what I've been reading, if you choose the...

    Help with Botique Configuration

    me too. When are we going to see these new htpcs? I'm in the market. Thought I would get a dt, but have been interested in what I'm seeing on cable card, etc. would make a good all in one. Who else makes good HTPC?

    Advice on build

    Chips not down at AMD: Despite layoffs and financial troubles, the future still ...

    iBuyPower - I couldnt resist

    Thanks, Joe. I'm interested in hearing from folks here about reputation - which companies have the best reputation for support? I'm not familiar with all of the smaller guys and want to hear what the experts think.

    Computer will no longer start. Need some help.

    How did it go? which brand/ size did you end up with? (getting ready to buy a system soon - config will probably be Intel Q9450 and 9800gtx, so I'm looking for information)

    iBuyPower - I couldnt resist

    hey - first time posting - sorry if I'm retreading a lot of ground. just read through the thread and I'm planning on buying soon (building my own is sadly not an option). I've heard that ibuypower/ cyberpower are not the best on support. Seems almost given that a PC will have problems and I...
