So this is my second PC from iBuypower, the last finally dying after almost 6 years. I'm pretty excited as I haven't been able to run current games in awhile. My system shipped yesterday and I figured I'd document what I'm hoping will be another positive iBuypower experience. So many people complain about issues so I figured I'd balance it out by posting a positive to the company. So here's my tracking status:

So I just used my lunch break to pick up the box! I had the option of having it home delivered on Monday (which I wouldn't be therefor so I wouldn't get it until re-delivery on Tuesday) or picking it up today. The next 3 hours are going to be the slowest of my life... It's seriously like getting a brand new console or something, I'll be able to play games that I simply couldn't before, I couldn't be more elated. Box was in perfect shape and a heft 59 pounds! Come on 4:30....

I know I know! I haven't updated all weekend, but that's because I couldn't tear myself away from playing with the new PC. First of all, everything is perfect! The wiring inside was so neat and tight it snapped a SATA connector on my SSD drive, of course just switching it to another one cleared up that issue, but everything is so clean. And the HAF works way too well, it keeps the entire area around my desk freezing. Plus with the Asetek liquid, the giant fans on the HAF spinning at a low RPM, and the Intel SSD (which is a G2 by the way) the computer is completely silent unless you get down next to it. I'm playing Crysis with the natural mod at 2048 x 1152 with all settings set to their highest and I'm in the high 30's and low 40's FPS wise. And that's without any overclocking. I really couldn't be happier with my purchase and will definitely buy again, but not for quite some time!
