Title: A great gaming system that powers everything I throw at it.
Review: With the Covid-19 pandemic my job pivoted on a dime and mandated telework for at least two months. The second day of working on my laptop I decided I needed a new monitor so I bought an ultra wide screen one. With such a nice monitor I figured I would buy a new non-laptop computer so the laptop could be used by my kids for their school work. I did my research and having not owned a gaming PC in almost two decades I wound up pick this machine up from IBuyPower which looks to be a family run company and not a huge worldwide company.Setting up the system was a breeze, I will give you that using Windows for the first time in decades it felt really Mac like in the configuration walk through. The instructions that come with the system are one page and can be summed up as: make sure nothing came loose inside, attach the Wi-Fi antenna, plug in power, keyboard, mouse and monitor, turn on. Easy enough although the antenna cable could be a little bit longer.Performance is top of the charts in every category. Maxed out setting in every game and plays smooth as butter. Bought a Vive VR setup and ran the performance test and maxed out in every category and boy is VR a lot of fun. I run my work environment in a window with the ultra wide monitor and the system just purrs.This was my first exposure to a SSD and man-oh-man what a speed difference. With the system powered down, pushing the power button results in a delay of seconds until the Windows sign in screen is shown. Man, I remember the days of watching the BIOS screen scrolling by and now it is so quick. Waking up the computer from sleep mode is nearly instantaneous.What else... the system is super quiet. The keyboard and mouse that come with the system are cool and work fine. I was getting 139MB/sec download speeds via the wi-fi antenna (I have the computer in the basement) but I ran a Cat-6 cable directly to the router and now am over 500mg/sec download which is nuts.Downsides: Came shipped in the IBuyPower packaging which would make it a steal target if you are not home. I would love a simple sheet of tech info on the system like what kind of RAM to buy, how many slots are available, etc. Video card only has one HDMI port which required me to buy a cable adaptor to get the Vive connected.There you have it. I have not had the chance to use tech support so I cannot comment. I am thrilled with the computer and would recommend it in a heartbeat to anyone who asked, I looks great, plays everything and handles everything I throw at it without breaking a sweat. It is nice to know I will get years of use from this machine without having to downgrade settings on games. Order it and sleep well with your purchase, you made the right choice.

Title: Cord Management, Storage and Cooling Fan
Review: This image was just a temporary solution to how the cords were before. I am getting an ESD Mat to officially fix this and arrange them more properly.I've had this PC now since 2020. I have not had any issues what so ever with what I got it for which was gaming. Like Call of Duty Coldwar, Black Ops 2, Borderlands Series, Apel Legends, etc. They run great.I clean the inside of my own PC and recently I changed the Thermal because it started rising above 90 C. The first time I opened this PC the first time I cleaned it over a year ago, I noticed whoever put this PC together did not do cable management very well. They had em in zip ties which hey, good but at the same time, they pulled them on too tight. I had to carefully cut them off because nothing was unlocking them. When they came off, some of the cords had indentions in them which I don't think you're supposed to tie them too tight. There was not wiggle room what so ever. They only put the cords through two areas more near the front fans and even tied bent cords together. So right now until I get an ESD Mat, I've got a big jumble mess of cords trying to poke out. Only reason why I had to deal with it in the first place because the zip ties were so tight, the cords could not be moved at all for one, but the side panel would not close all the way. It was very unorganized cord wise and very poorly done. Everything else is great.If anyone plays big games like over 100gb's worth, I would recommend getting a bigger hard drive or an external hard drive because you would be able to get 2 maybe 3-4 games(maybe). But you need extra space for gaming performance to. It's an SDD which is good but there's not a lot of space. I would say this particular build would probably be good for people who play indie type games or games that don't require a lot of space.All in all, I'd give this an 6/10 for my experience. Minus 4 stars for the way the cords were put together. Past 5 stars for never having performance issues with how they were done.The cooling fan I kind of don't like, when I changed the Thermal Paste in it a few days ago, this is the type of fan that you can't really get in between the heat sink and fan because of what the screw has that connects to the heatsink. It's impossible to take apart without breaking anything. So I'm considering on getting a new one at some point that I can easily maintain. And I really hate how uncomfortable it is once you get one screw out because it pops out loud and when trying to stick it back in its slot, you literally have to push down on it hard enough for the screw to be able to reach its socket. First time, I about had a heart attack because it literally sounds like something is breaking when it isn't. Either way, I don't like the fact you can't get behind the fan truly to get to the hard to reach places.It is quiet 99 percent of the time but you really hear the fans going once you launch a big graphical game like CoD. It's not LOUD but you can definitely hear the speed increase when playing and launching those type of games.Would I recommend this PC? Yes! Only complaint was cable management, storage and the cooling fan. This is a good budget gaming pc, so if anyone's looking for a cheap setup, this is it.It is also supports Windows 11 if anyone's wondering. It took me months before I realized that it was. You have to switch the TPM on yourself. You may not get the update right away but it is compatible.

Review: It took a bit to get shipped to my home (and they made sure I signed for it) but it came in good, working order. This is an impressive, quiet-running gaming PC. Beautiful to look at as well. 🙂 I have thrown benchmarking games at it and with almost all settings on high/epic they run smoothly. 1660 Ti is the way to go if you have the budget for it. Calling their support dept for assistance was also a pleasure, with a quick turn-around time for resolution to my OS problem. Highly recommended and would buy from this seller again!

Title:
Review: Computer was failing to power up right out of box, after some trouble shooting I noticed one of the RAM sticks was not fully seated in the slot. Clicked it into place and computer has been working great ever since. A less computer savvy person would have had a very frustrating experience out of the box.Highly unlikely that would happen in shipping, it was packaged very secure. So I am left to believe the quality control is lacking. Other than that the computer has been working fantastic, very quiet, stylish case, I had my own keyboard and mouse so the included set is only my backup...but it looks alright. I love it so far.
