iBUYPOWER Gamer Supreme 998SLC Desktop PC Intel Core i7 2700K(3.50GHz) 16GB DDR3 1TB HDD Capacity NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 1GB Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit

Pros: If the PC didn't have the issues I have it would be good.

Cons: 75% of the time I reboot the computer it doesn't see the HD and DVD drives. Then 15% of the time it will see them. I can boot into it and then everything stops working. Then 10% of the time it works.

Other Thoughts: I have had this computer since April. I loved it right when I got it. I never had to turn off the computer right when I got it because it came with all the updates and drivers already installed. Once a new update came out and I had to reboot the computer this problem started to happen. I thought it was only a one time thing because it only happened once. I didn't want to send it back just for one mess up. I started to shut down my computer more frequently in late August. It got to the point where I had to restart the computer 5 times before I could get it to boot.

Just recently I just decided to reformat my drive without thinking of the consequences. I put in the recovery disk and rebooted the computer. The computer didn't boot to the disk for a record 7 times. Then slowly it started to boot to the disk but half way through booting to the windows setup it would give up and say "There is no installation files on this cd". Rebooted it a couple more times and it said "There is no HD to put this on" rebooted it a couple of more times and finally it worked.

I have tried switching ports for both devices on the mother board but there was no luck. Same thing keeps happening.

This computer would get a 5 out of 5 if it worked properly.

Pros: Well built machine with lots of power. Works perfectly. Before turning it on for the first time I opened it up to check all cables are tight and everything is anchored well. I found it all to be perfectly tight and ready. Great job on a great pc!

Cons: No cons that I can find.

Pros: A solid machine for the price when you just don't have the time to build your own. Contrary to some other folks' experience (judging by some of the reviews) it worked perfectly out of the box. I opened the case first to ensure everything was securely connected, but there were no adjustments necessary to any components. Granted, it's only been a month, but if it continues like this I will continue to be fully satisfied.

Cons: None yet.

Pros: None that I could see, considering I could never get the PC to run for more than 30 minutes without a blue screen of death.

Cons: Blue screens every 10-20 minutes. I never actually installed any software on the machine, every time I tried, it would crash and I would have to restore or re-install windows. Their tech help was courteous and helped me run diagnostics, but the problems won't go away. The PC was completely unusable.

Other Thoughts: Obviously this may be a single instance of a bad machine being sent out. The computer looked good on paper, maybe it's just me.
