-- iBuyPower Paladin F870-SB Gaming PC Review,
April 2009
iBuyPower Paladin F870-SBThe machine runs very cool, and is surprisingly quiet. I even had someone at a local LAN party ask me if it was on after questioning the lack of sound from the machine; that's a very good sign. Once you game on something like the Paladin F870-SB, you won't want to touch anything else until it's upgrade time years down the line. This site is serious business, and if you've got the cash to spend I'd personally take iBuyPower over going with something like Alienware, which asks an amazingly high premium.

Battalion 101 CZ-9 UltraOutstanding and brilliant performance for its actual cost and price
-- Recommended, April 2009
iBuypower Gamer Paladin F970The Paladin F970 especially shined in many of the gaming benchmarks where we used ultra high image quality and anti-aliasing settings to stress the system. Considering this system targets gamers, the gaming results are what we feel are most important. Our benchmarks show the Gamer Paladin F970 is a very capable gaming machine that won’t let you down.

iBuypower Paladin F870-SB
So, is the Paladin F870-SB, with its cutting edge hardware, worth it? The Core i7 CPU provides more (way more) than enough processing power to satisfy the demands of practically any game. The bottom line is that the Paladin F870-SB is a solidly built system that uses the latest in technology.

iBuypower Gamer Fire 585
This is a great PC, and at a great price. This machine came into the house at a very opportune moment – the video card in the main gaming rig had gone belly up, and with several PC titles needing to be reviewed, the Gamer Fire got a workout and handled it all seemingly effortlessly.

iBuypower Video Pro
The Video Pro has a high-end Intel Core 2 Quad processor, a staggering 8GB of system memory, dual hard drives, and a Blu-ray burner. All of these components combine to form a prosumer system that will take your inner Spielberg to the next level.

iBuypower Video Pro
You can have a Video Pro of your own for $1,799. For everything included, we think that's quite a good deal, especially compared to some of the offerings that are out there (and also considering that it includes a Blu-ray Disc burner).

The low initial cost of this system makes the Video Pro's above-average performance look like a supercomputer.

It's an attractive PC that comes with a lot of the features you need for serious gaming. For many users, it should prove—like Goldilocks's porridge—to be "just right.”

iBUYPOWER HONORED BY INTEL
FOR
MOST INNOVATIVE SOLUTION FOR CONSUMERS
SAN DIEGO — Intel honored iBUYPOWER, provider of complete computing solutions to customers nationwide, for Most Innovative Solution for Consumers for the company’s high-end gaming PCs. The Los Angeles-based company is an Intel® Channel Partner Premier Member and earned recognition for continued expansion into a new or existing vertical market.

“This year’s ISS drew a record turnout of channel members, press and executive management to share upcoming products and initiatives to support our resellers’ success,” said Steve Dallman, General Manager, Reseller Channel Operations. “I’d also like to congratulate the award winners at this year's event, who demonstrated successful solutions and continued growth in ‘06.”
iBUYPOWER expanded into the existing gaming market through both traditional and non-traditional media by focusing on high-end, customized machines. The company’s specialized marketing campaign and increased number of products allowed iBUYPOWER to increase sales by 25 percent.
“We are really excited about this award,” said Darren Su, Executive Vice President of iBUYPOWER. “It not only recognizes our achievements but also highlights the benefits of being a Premier Member of the Intel Channel Partner Program.”

--- Editors' ratting: VERY GOOD, July 2006
Value UltraThe included Athlon 64 X2 4200+ CPU sits in AMD's new Socket AM2 and is an excellent choice for general academic work, as well as gaming and multimedia uses. The Cyberpower Back to School 2006 also has an AM2 CPU, but it's the slowest model in the line, the X2 3800+. The iBuyPower used this advantage to come in 23 percent faster in CNET Labs' new multitasking test and 9 percent faster in the Photoshop CS2 test. Another similar system, the Polywell Poly 430AM2, has the same X2 4200+ CPU as the iBuyPower, but it scored marginally better on our tests.
With its midrange Nvidia graphics card, the Nvidia GeForce 7600 GT, the iBuyPower Value Ultra pumped out a very playable 95.3 frames per second on our Half-Life 2 test at a 1,024x768 resolution. That shows off the difference between the iBuyPower's GeForce 7600 GT card and the Nvidia GeForce 7300 GS in the Cyberpower system, which could muster only 20.2fps on the same test. The system should still able to play most current games even with high-end features such as antialiasing turned on.

Aeoncraft-8010If you're on the prowl for a superfast PC, check out iBuyPower's new luxury brand, Aeoncraft. We tested Aeoncraft's Aeon-8010, which delivers the same hardware and superlative performance of a $5000-plus PC at the relatively reasonable price of $3595
The Aeon-8010 is a worthy alternative to gaming systems from Alienware and Voodoo as long as you don't need loads of free PCI slots and don't mind the quirky design.
Aeoncraft-8010the iBuyPower Viiv-350 meets the necessary criteria to qualify as a Viiv system. PCs with Intel's Viiv sticker are supposed to be optimized for multimedia use and must include the Windows Media Center Edition operating system, 5.1 or 7.1 audio, and Intel's Quick Resume instant on/off technology.

Media-XPit's a quieter machine, an important consideration for the living room. In our speed tests, the Media-XP enjoyed a slight performance edge, too, turning in a WorldBench 5 score of 92, compared with the CyberPower PC's score of 88. The system is nicely designed, with two spring-loaded front panels concealing a seven-in-one memory card reader, a multiformat DVD burner, and two of the PC's six USB ports. The case's rear provides in and out connections for video and audio equipment.
--- The Top 15 Desktop PCs Award, August 2005
Gamer-FXThe system turned in impressive performance: Based around an Athlon 3500+ with 1GB of DDR400 SDRAM, the Gamer FX we reviewed earned a WorldBench 5 score of 98, making it the fastest value system on the chart.

Pro PCAssembling a budget PC is an exercise in compromise. Which corners can be trimmed a bit, and which areas require more attention? We look at five budget PCs that cost less than $1,000 to see how different vendors approach this task. As iBuyPower demonstrates so expertly with its Value-Pro desktop, it often makes sense to lay a strong foundation.

Battalion-101 SC-TurboThe Battalion-101 has a blazing-fast 3.6GHz Pentium 4 processor, a gig of RAM (and four RAM slots to load up), a built-in TV tuner, a 256MB ATI Radeon X800 graphics card on the faster 16x PCI Express bus, and two 60GB hard drives that are striped in a RAID array for better performance. It’s the fastest at business tasks, with a Sysmark score of 261, but the iBuyPower’s 326.8 fps in Unreal and 77.4 fps in Doom 3 were no match for the Dell’s jaw-dropping scores of 410.6 fps and 101.5 fps, respectively, on the two benchmarks. Nevertheless, it’s still the second-best gaming machine in this part of the solar system, and that isn’t a bad title to have.
--- The Top Cheap PC Award, February 2005
LAN-Party Mini PCThe LAN-Party Mini PC packed far more punch than any other budget system in our recent roundup, thanks in part to a 2-GHz Athlon 64 3000+ processor. Its WorldBench 5 score of 80 was well ahead of the pack. We also liked our test unit's 17-inch ViewSonic E70f flat-screen CRT monitor, which produced bright, rich colors good enough for photo editing.

XP PCThe Media-XP offers a few advantages. For one thing, it's a quieter machine, an important consideration for the living room. In our speed tests, the Media-XP enjoyed a slight performance edge, too, turning in a WorldBench 5 score of 92, compared with the CyberPower PC's score of 88. The system is nicely designed, with two spring-loaded front panels concealing a seven-in-one memory card reader, a multiformat DVD burner, and two of the PC's six USB ports. The case's rear provides in and out connections for video and audio equipment.

Media
XP PCWe found a few surprises on the rear of the Media-XP, as well. The four USB 2.0 ports and a Gigabit Ethernet adapter are straightforward enough. With the iBuyPower Media-XP, you'll find a speedy Intel 3.4GHz Pentium 4 550 processor and 1GB of 533MHz DDR2 memory plugged into the Gigabyte motherboard running Intel's 915G chipset. You get plenty of storage space for recorded TV shows, photos, music, and the like, thanks to the 250GB Maxtor SATA hard drive, and the dual-layer/dual-format DVD burner and the six-in-one media-card reader give you plenty of storage options.
