Excellent Purchase

 

Great purchase, get this if you want a low-cost gaming system.

The computer works flawlessly. It plays every game I throw at it with all graphic settings at Very High. Starts up and loads Vista in a few seconds

No instructions, so you have to figure out yourself to use the DVI adapter for a VGA monitor. Door is kind of annoying

Great Budget Gaming Computer

 

The pros far outweigh the cons, and most people probably don't even experience the problems that I have with it. If you're looking for an affordable, reliable, gaming PC, this is definitely it.

This computer is capable of running all newer games very well. It is upgradable to 8gigs of RAM, 64 bit Vista is a huge plus, and it runs very quietly. Ibuypower.com doesn't pile tons of software that you don't want onto the computer. It's pretty naked...

When I first got the computer, plugged it in, and tried to fire it up, it wouldn't turn on. Being excited about having my new computer, I was pretty angry. After examining the computer, as I know a little bit about them, I noticed that the 20 pin...

Great Machine

 

Great computer. I can run 30 different apps, as well as WoW with all the video setting as high as possible and still no lag. I am getting 75Fps in the middle of any city during primetime. This is a great computer

Its a little loud. Also When I first recieved comp. I had to send it back to IbuyPower because the Mobo was faulty. After a few weeks I got it back and it runs incredibly. once the initial problem this computer has been amazing

wow?

 

i can play Crysis perfectly with medium graphics. High graphics makes it a bit laggy, but still not bad at all. I would definitely buy this computer if you are looking for something in a cheaper range, yet good spec.

well just about everything on this computer is a pro. Awesome amount of RAM (upgradable to 8gb which is even better). Enough Hard disk space for me. Have an external 250gb hard drive so it was perfect. Like everyone else said, it loads vista in less...

the door on the front that holds the disk tray, sd card slot, etc. is somewhat loose and does not stay open in place. Not a big con at all, but can be irritating

Good Computer!

 

The computer that this machine replaced was so slow it would take 5 minutes just to open firefox boy am I glad I bought a new computer finally.

Runs fast, loads Vista under 30 seconds. Pretty quiet machine dont know about the other reviewer maby he just got bad fans :D

A few connections were loose but nothing serious

GS 516

 

So far so good, I hope I don't jinx myself... after reading reviews about the intel counterpart of this machine, I was a little skeptical. Machines arriving with loose parts, DOA etc... I'm happy to report that everything was all good. Very happy.

fast machine. Super fast shipping (ordered it on Thursday, received it on Friday) Powered it up and so far so good

The fans are noisy. The case is a little bulky and it seems like the back side connections to the motherboard are a little flimsy
