[oxytrebor]

i thought ALL iBuyPower PCs come with standard liquid cooling upgrade???

you got ripped off !

[UnrealEd2010]

@oxytrebor

Oi. I CHOSE to have that fan instead of liquid cooling because iBUYPOWER was having a shortage of liquid cooling systems and I did not want to wait.

[oxytrebor]

@UnrealEd2010 i would've ...waited that is but i can dig it :) nice rig nevertheless

[mrlw223]

1000 dollar atari lol!!!

[UnrealEd2010]

@mrlw223

Laugh it up. I have since sold this PC and custom built one myself, a much nicer one.

[taggerung890]

Actually for these closed circuit liquid cooling, no maintainence is required

[killswitch0102]

At first i thought you lived by a babbling brook lmao

[GabeOnTheBass]

Ibuypower gets bad reviews all the time with all the broken computers they ship out. Type in Ibuypower reviews in google, and go through it if you don't believe me. I actually learned of Ironside, the company who built my computer, man can I tell you they did an amazing job!!!! I'm mostly happy that It booted up without any problems. You can check them at IronsideComputers(dot)com

[NastyNate2306]

@GabeOnTheBass LOL, and I'm sure you're not a salesman who works for them...

[Heyitsmilz]

Nice comp, but I was wondering, did u get pro wiring?

[DiDolRuChagi]

These pre-built computer companies need to hire Cable Management teams...

[milad2007halo3]

Once every 5 years is good idea to clean and put liquid in your liquid coolers.

[NnickT99]

Can you please send me a link to this exact computer?

[KaikuPen]

@iukea999 Did you get yours with the upgraded packaging?

[ilikedatube]

wow your lucky, when i got mine, it was running great had the exact same specs as yours too but 3 days later it broke..

[wohoo5150]

did you get the upgrade packaging? or does the normal one have all that stuff inside the computer too?

[Sm00gle]

@wohoo5150 thats the upgraded packing

[LONELYHEART202]

I was wondering, im buying a 439$ Gaming computer from Ibuypower, i was wondering tho if this site is legit, and how do i check its avilablity? because i really hope this is available till december (my bday) so i can get a new computer, im looking at the AMD Athlon II DDR2 Configurator,

[49rockman]

@LONELYHEART202 i was looking at that computer and it turns out to be just oever 800 dollars after u get everthing decent for it (windows 7 which is an extra 100 dollars, a decent monitor etc)

[HereKittyKittyxoxo]

lol @ the music. And yeah, I ordered from IBuyPower on friday, got charged on my credit card this past monday, I'm now just waiting for my system, I hope everything turns out ok :S

[SamGun1993]

oh u didnt get the liquid cooling system that i got. yea i love ibuypower and they have cool computers. Did u get the overclocking?

[UnrealEd2010]

@SamGun1993

Nope, no liquid cooling. I didn't get it cause I heard it can be a pain to clean and that it should be cleaned at least once a year I believe.

My set up did not come with any overclocking options but my computer works just fine at max settings for just about every game I've thrown at it, so it's not all that important to me. Maybe I will try that with a new rig in the future. For now, I'm happy with what I got.

[Minetainment]

@UnrealEd2010 Build your next pc, you save a ton of money and you can overclock it yourself for free.

[UnrealEd2010]

@SamGun1993

Oh and there was a serious backorder on Liquid Cooling, so I chose not to go with it to get my computer faster, which it did come in the 2 week period I was expecting.

[specterseal999]

How much did it all cost you? With the pc, screen, keyboard etc??

Also do you prefer amd over intel?

[UnrealEd2010]

@specterseal999

Total it cost me $1350 to include the monitor. I did not get a keyboard, mouse or speakers because I already had them.

I really don't have a preference over AMD or Intel, I just got the AMD cause it was much cheaper than the Intel.

[IniMiney]

why such a ugly case >_>

[UnrealEd2010]

@IniMiney

It was the cheapest case and I really don't care about how it looks, just how it plays

[BigR3DRocket]

ive been thinking about buying an ibuypower, but from teh research ive done on them, there seems to be really mixed reviews from customers... I hear great things about them, and very bad thingas also. Is this a good computer? would you reccomend ibuypower? Is everthing still working fine? thanks and sorry for all the questions :P

[UnrealEd2010]

@BigR3DRocket

Part I

No worries about the questions, I don't mind answering :) As far as my experience went, after I purchased the PC, I was really worried because I read all of the BAD stuff people wrote in about iBuypower. That was pretty much laid to rest when everything arrived ok. I am happy to say that after nearly 6 months of use, I've had no problems at all with the hardware of the PC. Any software problems I may have had were more than likely my fault lol

[UnrealEd2010]

@BigR3DRocket

Part II

I have to say that I am very pleased with my PC. Would I purchase from iBuypower again: definitely. Would I recommend to everyone: no. It depends on a persons character. If you're the type who jumps to conclusions, I would send you off to alienware where they have less customizable parts, but a faster process. If you're willing to wait, have more options, and give iBuypower a chance, I would recommend them.

[713newfie]

did u order any of the rush service stuff?

[UnrealEd2010]

@713newfie

Nope, I just did the standard wait on the computer. For the actual delivery I did fedex 2nd day. No need to rush for these things, you just waste more money and who knows if they have all the parts in stock for your computer. It's safe to say, you're going to be waiting a little while to get your computer, so you may as well save the rush money and wait it out. Patience is a virtue lol

[rambofan181]

can u play old unreal games on windows 7

[UnrealEd2010]

@rambofan181

Well the oldest unreal game I have is unreal tournament 2004 and it plays fine. As far as anything else, I wouldn't know for sure. I do hate the whole compatibility issue with vista onward. There are some great games I wish I could play but can't because of the OS. grr lol

[713newfie]

what is the differnce between ddr3 1333 or like the ddr3 1600?? is higher the better or is lower the better??

also this is in ram.

[Rhoadiumofficial]

@713newfie one is with 1333Mhz and one is with 1600Mhz 1600 is better, but you dont really feel the difference ;-)

[TheBlitzvideo]

wow  they actually did realy amazing wiring . Did you get the extra payment option?

[UnrealEd2010]

@TheBlitzvideo

Here are the extra options I got at the time:

Advanced Build Options Tuniq TX-2 High Performance Thermal Compound - The best interface between your CPU and the heatsinks

Advanced Build Options iBUYPOWER Specialized Advanced Packaging System - Protect your investment during transportation!

Advanced Build Options Professional wiring for all cables inside the system tower - Achieve exceptional airflow in your chassis

Options have changed since then.

[UnrealEd2010]

My apologies for not keeping up with updates on this computer, but I have to say that I've been enjoying it very much. I added an extra 1tb hard drive, but it looks like I already need more space since I'm down to 198gb. Other than that, I've been having a blast on this computer. I'll see about doing an update video sometime. Thanks to everyone for your comments ^^

[snapplejacksabc]

ibuypower is cheap can they run games like cod6 on high settings no lag?

[UnrealEd2010]

@snapplejacksabc So far I've had no problems whatsoever and can even play Crysis at high settings without lag. It's not the maker of the computer, it's the parts of the computer that you get. Just to name a few games I run at max settings with minimal to no lag: Splinter Cell: Conviction Crysis Mass Effect 2 Dragon Age: Origins Red Faction: Guerrilla Assassin's Creed Fallout 3 Grand Theft Auto IV Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box I have a lot more games than that, but all of those run great

[TheBlitzvideo]

@UnrealEd2010 does it come with the physical windows cd ? ( if you bought it)

[UnrealEd2010]

@TheBlitzvideo

It did come with a backup cd made by iBuypower and it does have windows 7 on it with the product key sticker also in the sleeve

[crackhead4211]

hey did you order a operating system with it i hear people have trouble activating the OS key or somthing?

[UnrealEd2010]

@crackhead4211

I've had no problems activating my OS Key. I got Windows 7 Home Premium.

[megamindstorm101]

what exactly was in that brown box that was inside the ibuypower box? you cut out that part of the video.

[UnrealEd2010]

@megamindstorm101

There was just a bag full of manuals for the motherboard, graphics card, etc. Backup install disk, some cables for vga, power cord, ramps to slide in extra hard drives and Tuniq thermal compound (which I added to the order)

[megamindstorm101]

that looks amazing. I will definately call to see what they have on backorder and stuch becasue I head about that problem too. I am planning on a 2400$ gaming monster with the best amd processor available and crossfire ati radeon hd 5770s and a 1000 watt power supply. It is the HAF case. Im looking too far in the future im not getting the money for another year or so :P.

the fan will be a dark knight becasue i dont trust water cooling. there is more but my comment characters are running out .

[jackpwnage117]

@megamindstorm101 intel is better than amd bro

[megamindstorm101]

@jackpwnage117 i know but amd is cheaper. I can get a 6 core amd cheaper than a 4 core intel. anyways I started building on my comptuer already and I did go with intel i7 940 (because I got it cheap like 170$). It will be a nice computer 6gb ram, i7, maybe corsair h50 but im still afraid of water, crossfire msi 5770, 80gb ssd, 1 dvd drive, 1 fan controller, maybe blue haf case idk (only on newegg), and 1000w kingwin psu. and some more but yeah im building myself not buying from ibuypower.

[mrceebees14]

They just "gave you" an extra 100watts?

When you are customizing on their site, it would have told you that the PSU was too low.

[wesley5138]

looks great, how long did it take to get

[UnrealEd2010]

@wesley5138 In total it took about 2 weeks and 3 days to get to me from the time I ordered it. Now, many people on IBP have not been so lucky. Some have ordered the same day as me and are still waiting. I think since I did not get the free liquid cooling upgrade, my computer came faster since I hear that the liquid cooling has been back-ordered. Not sure if that's the case now though.

[MetalPower86]

thanks for the unboxing vid man, im saving to use ibuypower as well, I could build my own machine but time is an issue for me

[UnrealEd2010]

@MetalPower86 Hey, no problem! I just hope that if you do order through there, you call first to see if they are back-ordered on any materials you're trying to get, and THEN place your order, that way you won't run into long build times. I didn't do it that way myself, but after reading what was going on, I really should have. I got pretty lucky though =P

[SubinaTub]

Nice video, wish you would of left you talking in it though.

[UnrealEd2010]

@SubinaTub Sorry I didn't keep it in, but there were just some things I said that was wrong, so I decided to remove it to keep most of the video intact.
