IBuypower

[Jacvalenzuela]

Hello, should I trust iBuypower? I don't have the time to build my own computer bottom-up and I don't want any mass-produced pc with crap default software, etc. iBuypower makes PCs cheaply, but I don't know if that means the quality is questionable. Can anyone help?

I can't vouch for iBuypower because I've never owned one. But from the ones I've seen, it appears they use the same components we would buy ourselves to build. And several people here on the forum have purchased them. Another place you may want to check out is Velocity Micro. They are a bit of a 'computer boutique' but make a fine well-built system. Them I can vouch for, having had one of their products years ago. Most/all of their computers are built using Lian Li aluminum cases and only top-tier components. They are a bit higher in cost, but worth it if you don't build your own.

They are fine. I wouldn't call it cheap since you pay a premium for their service but they do a good job.

Agreed with crewton...its always cheaper to build it yourself and its not that hard. I've heard both good and bad things about them...but they do include a warranty so I think you'd be ok.
