Dammmm you can't enter cause I am from canada !!!!!
Very decent setup!

| HA! HA!
A $1500 llano computer, thats just silly. Like a $60,000 Civic. They should have given away 3 $500 builds imo.
they also should have put in more than just a 6670... i mean seriously, my two 9800gt's probably outperform that thing
"@Krinkles619: They would outperform that by a large margin. I can't see where they spent the extra 800 dollars on that.

Premium probably?
^ lives in RI :-(
Damn... Can't remember if I already entered this contest. Tom's, you need a way to allow us to check if we've already entered!
Or just accept the first entry only.

I agree
850 watt psu on a llano system !?
really ...
They should have used a 400-550w 80 plus gold psu like seasonic.

They put that video card you so it can crossfired with the built-in gpu/apu, thats why you find a 6670.
850w psu....OVERKILL!!
/crosses fingers
the url for the google spreadsheet doesn't work or is down.
Anyone know if it could be my browsers? firefox/aol
I agree with the other comments this build doesn't make a whole lot of sense. If I won this thing I would break it down and make an awesome HTPC out of it and save the the other components for a possible new bulldozer build later in the year.
FYI: The URL is broke for me too; locks up my browser...
WHY YOU PUT SUCH CONTESTS I DO NOT KNOW. JUST TO STIPULATE THAT IS ONLY FOR US. FROM WHAT I KNOW THIS IS A INTERNATIONAL WEBSITE, VISITED BY MANY INTERNATIONAL USERS, NOT ONLY US CITIZENS
Why no love for Canada =(
6670 is a bit weak with the supposed retail price of $1500.
It seems to only have one source of harddrive space and that
is only a 60GB SSD. I realize that marked up prices are normal
when buying a pre-assembled PC but my god.
My current PC which was less than $1500 is superior and includes a monitor.
If anything this contest should be a example to why not to buy from CyberPower.
Why people are bitching about the spec is quite beyond me. What part of 'free' was it that you didn't understand?

I know, just silly.
Attention to all that complain! PLEASE, do not enter the form gives us a bigger chance of wining. Right now any decent pc would be a dream.
bitching about stuff is all some of us have left !
I wonder if you'd have to pay taxes on the MSRP or if you could just add up the prices of the components?
Sorry, I'm an accountant in real life, this stuff interests me.
Sounds like a decent machine. Good luck to those in the US.

It's not free - you still pay income tax on the stated value. For example if I were to win it, I'd have to pay 34% tax (25% federal and 9% California), so it'd cost me slightly more than $500. So since the winner would actually be paying, people are right to criticize the unbalanced build.
BUILDER FAIL!
How can you have 4 sticks of DDR3-1866 in a motherboard that only supports 2 at that speed?! If you want to use 4 sticks, you have to use DDR3-1600 or slower.
Either one of three things has happened:
A. This computer has never been built, and only exists on paper.
B. This computer has never been tested.
C. Nobody at CyberPowerPC knows WTF they're doing, and/or they didn't RTFM.
Take your pick. I know I wouldn't buy from them. If you want something good, make sure the builder validates the parts first.
i hope he is not a gamer cause he just won a PC with an integrated graphics card

Do worry I didn't enter. And sometimes you get what you pay for....free....
