    Pretty good price considering the parts. Each part probably cost $200~$300 each. However, as always with cyberpowerPC, you have to wonder about the return policy incase they mess something up which happens quite a bit from their BBB reports and customer complaints.

    and a pair of super fast ATI Radeon HD4870 2 GB 16x video cards

    Did ATi/AMD release a new video card that none of us have heard about? Exclusivity ftw!

    I've personally had a horrible experience with CyberPower PC and certainly would never go back to them. Their prices may be fair compared to others but when they muck up they don't have any intentions on fixing it.

  • I'm pretty sure most of the parts in that system can still be warrantied through the manufacturers, so if not satisfied there is may be other routes. In most cases, it may even be faster and cheaper to service a part then the whole unit. But on specs and price, very nice!

    I am impressed with the prices as well. I hadn't heard of their service woes. Definitely puts a damper on my impression.
    Well, I am glad that AMD is back in the gaming ring and a viable yet affordable option for performance.

    Pretty good prices, but I've been building my own system since my K6-2 :D.

    Eh, I built a i7 with a GTX 280 for $1800 on ibuypower; why would I want to spend an extra $500 for a PII???

  • I have had nothing but positive experience with Cyberpower. I have purchased 2 systems and had various friends order 4 or 5 other systems with absolutely no troubles at all, save one. One of the systems I ordered was damaged in shipping. I contacted CP and they sent me a new system pronto.
    Not sure what the service issues are for others but my experiences are all good.
