iBUYPOWER Gamer Gears of War 988 Desktop PC Core 2 Quad Q8300(2.50GHz) 8GB DDR3 750GB HDD Capacity NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit

Pros: The specs are nice, though my last computer was so old anything would look great by comparison. I've had very few problems with it.

Cons: It's noisier than I was hoping for, between the fans and HDD, though the airflow seems good so I'll take that trade off.

I've had 2 random reboots in about 5 days of pretty heavy use. Judging by the other reviews, I'm doing better than most. Neither time was I taxing the system, just running Firefox and WinAmp.

Other Thoughts: The components are, of course, among the cheapest with those specs, i.e. the GeForce 9600GT is from Sparkle.

Pros: This was a great computer when it ran. Very fast, great mulititasking, great gameplay etc.

Cons: As everyone else has said, constant rebooting every 5-10 minutes. Sometimes it won't reboot but just freeze. Have looked everywhere over the internet, everyone is having this same issue. I believe it is because of the graphics card, but it could be anything. Have sent mine back it for a replacement. Hopefully ibuypower will know what to do with all of the unhappy customers.

Pros: Massive specs

Cons: Unable to use the massive specs due to constant rebooting. Seems that everyone who bought this computer is also having the same problems as I. 5-10 min in it reboots. Going to try the reinstalltion of windows/bios later, but even if it works then, a major pain in the rear.

Other Thoughts: Hopefully the company is responsive but im not holding my breath, might be sending this back within a week.

Pros: Love the specs

Cons: The computer restarts every 15-20 minutes. Very disappointed! I'm a little aggravated that you have to go through hoops just to return the computer.

Other Thoughts: Hopefully I'll get a replacement soon!

Pros: Great specs, was running Empire total war on high specs pretty smooth...

Cons: As everyone else has said, there are a lot of random reboots. They seem to happen mostly when I am playing a game, however there is no discernible pattern. I've been troubleshooting the issue very intensely for about a week and cannot seem to pin it down.

Other Thoughts: If you look at IBuyPower's Support forum a lot of people are having the exact same problem with this computer right now. This is very frustrating. I hope that IBuyPower's response to this situation is swift and effective.

Pros: The specs are nice on paper.

Cons: The machine as came is pretty much useless. It reboots after every 10 mins or so. I haven't been able to install my programs yet - every time it would reboot in the middle of the install.

Now I am on my way to figure out the return or RMA or replacement machine process :(

Other Thoughts: One very unsatisfied customer with very disappointing purchase.

Pros: Machine arrived and everything looked good at initial setup. Plenty of speed and everything installed and ready to go.

Cons: The whole machine freezes regularly. Sometimes just a few minutes after bootup, sometimes hours later. When this happens, the only solution is to power off.

Other Thoughts: I'm going to attempt to get a replacement from iBUYPOWER, we'll see how that goes.

Pros: Like I said it a beautiful machine and the specs seem great. It looks well made but again I haven't actually ever been able to use it for more than a short period of time. The customer service is tops in my book. Very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly.

Cons: Like the previous review stated, it locks up. Alot. I never got mine to work at all. It just turns on then off. Whenever it feels like it, or it would lock up. I didn't get anywhere near installing a game so who knows what my results will be.

Other Thoughts: Here's to my replacement computer arriving in tip-top shape.

Pros: Good gaming machine when it runs. Still not receiving full 60 fps when playing WoW with all of the settings turned up.

Cons: I started it up. Updated drivers. Then the lock ups came, the machine booted up and locked on the starting vista screen. Rebooted and everything worked until it locked up during game play. Every 5-10 minutes the entire pc locked up. Replaced the video card with a 9800gtx and the machine so far is running smooth with around 6 hours of game play. The case pretty much is falling apart as well, 2 of the bottom studs have popped off.
