Dont order a pc from cyberpowerinc.com. They are utter dogshit.

A close friend of mine paid them about $1600 for a box. When it arrived (late) the hard drive was loose (as in only attached by the cable), the cpu fan was on backwards, the HDD activity LED was disconnected and the video card temp reader wasn't attached to the video card (someone had tried to tape it on, but apparently it hadnt held). Also, it seems their purportedly "onsite warrantee service" only covers installation, and any actuall repairs involve shipping back to the company. After fixing the apparent problems, we booted it up but it sent no signal to the monitor. Hurray

Of course, 75% of you are too savvy to even consider buying something prebuilt (other than a super-discounted dell) but Im sure there are a few who need to be informed. Dont be fooled by the ads in PC Magazine. Monkeys could do a better job assembling a PC.

we are saavy because we read http://www.resellerratings.com .

Also we have the common sense to RESEARCH A COMPANY before spending a wad of cash with them based on an advertisement.

No it won't.

Not after the last one failed so miserably.

Unless there are some other uppity pizza delivery boys on this site that I don't know about.

Anyway, Noen's right. If you're going to order something online, you should at least take a glance at http://www.resellerratings.com

Not TERRIBLE, unless you start reading the most recent reviews...

Reading those may have saved your friend a little bit of a headache, ah well.

Now you know!

And knowing is half the battle!

I ordered a comp from them

only real problem was that one of the cd drives wasn't plugged in, which took about 2 seconds to diagnose and fix.
