Great bang for your buck to last you a long time!
By Steven G on Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2018
computer for her school and my 7-year-old gaming laptop was not cutting it anymore, so we needed to upgrade. I was gone on business for three months and I wouldn’t be around to set up the computer and therefore purchased this prebuilt PC. My wife had no trouble setting it up out of the box and getting it running without my help! It came with everything in the description. This system has enough gaming power to run my current favorite games such as Diablo, WoW, BattleTech, MechWarrior Online, and more on full high detail. This system has enough room for expansion to keep it running well and relevant for future gaming. I can do video recording/screen capture from the get-go if I decide to steam my game play. I do suggest making sure all drivers are up to date from the manufacture and not just from the ibuypower website such as the network adapter drivers and such. Same goes for any device you attach to the PC. My wireless network card had the generic driver and my in-home Wi-Fi speed was like 40 Megabytes a second. After installing the drivers, it went to 110 Mbs. This is not the most powerful gaming computer by no means, BUT it is very reasonable for the price and the bang for your buck if you want something that will last awhile before upgrading, initial cost, and ease of setup and use. FYI, this computer does NOT come with internal LEDs besides the tiny ones on the motherboard and the front fan. I saw some pictures with it and the model from the ibuypower website I believe does come with it. Lastly there was a noise coming from the front fan only to discover it was a discard-able plastic protective cover that needed to be removed from inside the computer and now it's extremely quiet.

Piece of crap
By Benjamin Sherman on Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2020
Computer came, box looked like it was opened before, and when taking it out of the box it looked okay, at first glance. After trying to remove the side glass panel, I noticed that one of the screws was cross threaded which resulted in the screw just falling out. Fine, I can deal with that. Then after removing the papers and the foam from inside the computer case, I turned it on, as per the instructions. Immediately I noticed that no lights came on. Great. So now i have a computer that has no lights, fans, and a messed up screw. All within 3 minutes from un-boxing to turning on. Just today, I had time to sit down and play a game. Nope. Within 5 minutes of playing Far Cry Primal, my computer just rebooted, and the screens were black. Couldn't do anything. I saw in the reviews that this problem has occurred with others as well, but figured that I would escape that fate. I was wrong. So now I have a computer with a screw in the side panel messed up, no rgb light, no fans, and a computer that shuts down basically whilst playing any game. What a waste of money and time. I will try to get with ibuypower to see what they are willing to do and will update as soon as something happens, but for now save yourself the headache and just avoid this company/computer. *update*- So after writing to Ibuypower the issues I was dealing with, I finally got a response almost a week later. How horrible is it to have a computer that doesn't work, and a company not willing to get back in a decent amount of time to deal with it. I had to diagnose my own new computer! The lights/fans were loosely... And I mean loosely... Plugged into a 4-pin plug in which one of the pins was messed up, bent, and pushing out of the housing. As for the black screens, I have no idea. The only thing I can think of, is the small 550w power supply trying to run the entire computer. Also started jabbing problems with the graphics driver crashing, as well as the computer lagging or outright freezing with nothing but the internet opened. $1,200 dollars and this computer can't even run the internet browser? No thanks. It's unfortunate that I even have to give one star, I would rather give zero.
