I purchased from IBUYPOWER. I am excited to get it. My old machine is a true work horse and nine years ago it was amazing! She is still chugging along but can no longer play any new games. When I do any design work she bogs down and really crawls to a crazy slow pace. I have maintained her and used pc clean up software to keep her running optimally but her days have come.
