[Quetzalqoatl99]

I like your intro. You should make a tutorial video on how to make that. I'm curious to know! lol

[mrgeo20]

@Quetzalqoatl99 I paid a radio DJ/announcer $5 to make me that audio intro, haha.

[FLSimaviators]

I also have iBUYPOWER, and I also had the same issue with the drive causing a black out and the same error code.

[FLIGHTANIMATOR]

Would you recommend buying open box products ?

[mrgeo20]

@FLIGHTANIMATOR If it's a great deal then yes, but I would still use caution. This computer arrived broken and I had to send it back. Check out my newest video to see the computer I'm building myself! :)

[FLIGHTANIMATOR]

@mrgeo20 Thank you for Responding :) Its only for $347.99 or somewhere in the $300-390 range. It has an i7 2600K at 3.4 ghz and an ATI Radeon 6850. Is it worth it ? I'll PM you the link.

[KiloExtras]

I would have went with AMD for a graphics card man they work better

[mrgeo20]

@KiloExtras well, that's arguable, but AMD is certainly priced cheaper. I'm building a new computer right now because this one broke and I returned it. I am planning on a Radeon 6670 in it and an AMD Athlon II X6 to back it up. :)

[CleanSC400]

@mrgeo20 i just ordered this exact desktop off of newegg but i ordered it "open box" i certainly hope if this was yours that broke they at least fixed it LOL

did you happen to test swtor on this machine?

[mrgeo20]

@CleanSC400 I ordered mine open box too, perhaps they keep mailing out the same one! xD ahhahaha

No i did not, but my friend has a computer similar to this and he says he can run it, I don't have personal experience playing it though.

[CleanSC400]

@mrgeo20 hey man, got the desktop and just like yours the hard drive was just hanging there... luckily i received every item that comes with this computer and it was in great shape, aside from the hard drive. ibuypower stated to me that they had a fixed for later model of this computer to fix the HDD issue. i ran a test on the hdd and it came out with perfect health so we'll see how it works. so far i have tested swtor and i have all graphics set to high and getting 40+ fps!

[mrgeo20]

@CleanSC400 yeah they fasten it loosley to the bay with 1 screw... that's the problem, lmao. My hard drive seemed fine at first, give it 2 weeks and if things start to slow down then your hard drive is failing.

[KiloExtras]

Haha See MAC, PC is taking over AGAIN!



[kapugen23]

can it play mw3 on low to medium specs

[mrgeo20]

@kapugen23 I no longer own this computer, but I seriously doubt it can. It cant run Metro 2033 on lowest settings, it gets 17 FPS average on lowest..

[kapugen23]

just got this computer,

(sadly i dont know much about computers)

so i was wondering if you could give me some suggestions for video cards and cpus that are compatible

[mrgeo20]

@kapugen23 any AMD processor that is AM3 is compatible, and any video card that is PCI-E will work. This computer broke down on me, all I can tell you is make sure your hard drive is stable and securely placed into it's bay.

[Oakshang]

I just bought my P/C 1 day ago still in shipping the only Difference between your P/C and mine is I have an 8GB Ram instead of 4GB.. Question does the Machine run flawlessly...as in good?

[mrgeo20]

@Oakshang I just bought 8GB of ram today xD hahaha

I've had a couple problems such as graphics card drivers and just general windows 7 issues like windows explorer running slow, but for the most part it's great. The "premium keyboard" it comes with is really terrible, I bought a Razer BlackWidow today, and I definitely recommend upgrading. The video card is also fairly low end but it can hold its own on most games. It's great for the price!

[loman1997gman]

nice! i have the same proccessor and video card, but with a 500 gig hard drive, and 8gb of ddr3 (ram). The graphics card is decent escpecially for its price with the computer. But, like you said, it it doesnt run current games in great resolution quality. ut it runs minecraft and simulators very well. Overall its a nice computer.

[pwnuge]

Wow thats surprising that happened to he hdd nice computer

[ps3talkingtech]

ibuypower

[Playdenmc]

where did you buy it can you link it to me?

[loman1997gman]

@Playdenmc you can get decent ibuypower computers cheap at walmart. this is the one i have. It has the same specs as the one in the video except for smaller harddrive, and better ram. Ill send you a inbox of the link. It wont let me put the link on the comment.

[Playdenmc]

would it work for gaming high quality?

[mrgeo20]

@Playdenmc No, this is a low end video card, I can play Counter Strike Source at 145 FPS, but for newer games it has a tougher time. I plan to upgrade the video card soon. This motherboard supports a six core processor so I will be upgrading that in the future. I also have 8GB of high quality RAM on the agenda.

[A1B3R7I]

you must not be a Gamer...?

[mrgeo20]

@A1B3R7I .......? what? hahaha

[A1B3R7I]

@mrgeo20 I was just saying cause my pc has better Spec. then that and mine is 4 years old with an updated G card

[mrgeo20]

@A1B3R7I I'm a console gamer who just got a low end gaming desktop on the cheap just to check it out? Yours probably cost a lot more than mine too... It does what I want it to do and the price was unbeatable. I can easily upgrade it when I feel like its necessary.

[mikeytingstrom]

Nothing bad has what?!?!?!?!?

[mrgeo20]

@mikeytingstrom I like to leave my audience in suspense ^_^

[xNormskyy]

Works great other than Vegas right?

[mrgeo20]

@xNormskyy I have vegas platinum 11 on it and it renders 5 times faster than my laptop.

[jonfosta]

Awesome computer.

And btw. Taylor Gang or die!

Hell yea! haha

[guitarherothre]

how much did it cost?

[mrgeo20]

@guitarherothre got it on sale on NewEgg for $319

[kr3wsk8r1031]

I'm really thinking about either buying ibuy or cyberpower. how is it running?

[mrgeo20]

@kr3wsk8r1031 after I fixed the driver problem, which apparently happens to a lot of computers, it works fantastically! I'm very happy with it!

[Seanaaayy]

Deathadder is sick
