iBUYPOWER Gamer Extreme NE721i Desktop PC Intel Core i5 3350P(3.10GHz) 8GB DDR3 500GB HDD Capacity NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 1GB Windows 8

Pros: Great computer, fast shipping, and nice graphics card. Running SC2 on ultra and League of legends on High. So far it's a nice piece. too bad it's discontinued now. Also, Make sure all wiring is connected when it comes because you'll never know. When you look through the reviews it might be a little bit discouraging because 50% of people seem to have a defect so it's a bit risky. I got lucky and have no problems at all. So far :P Another thing that I like about it is that it's spacey and there's so much holes in the case that it gets a lot of air.

Cons: Not much of a con but cheap keyboard and mouse. You cannot put more Ram in there because there's only 2 slots. AND I know i said its a pros that it has a lot of holes for airing BUT the only bad thing about it is that it'll get dusty faster than other cases. :)

Other Thoughts: Comes with windows 8 so beware. Just have to get used to it and in my opinion its not that bad.

Pros: Booted up great. I was able to get everything all set in about 15 minutes. The graphics cards is pretty good. I can run battlefield 3 on ultra settings with no lag at all. I highly recommend this computer for anyone who wants to game without going with something very expensive.

Cons: Mouse and keyboard is kinda cheep.

Pros: Very fast delivery, came in 3 days. Worked great out of the box no problems. Easy to install more hard drive, I took my 320gb Hitachi drive from my old computer and installed it very easily but was upset to notice there wasn't room to install more ram. Otherwise great computer for the price runs rather demanding games on high settings sometimes ultra with an fps of 30 or above. Comes with 6 fans installed. Easily installed as 7th one but I didn't even need it because it stayed cool as it was. Very nice blue LED light. Tons of room for upgrading without having to get a new case, I mean this case is huge.

Cons: Couldn't find Windows 8 activation code but turns out its on the side of the machine (its a sticker) took me a while to find And was hard to enter comfortably. Windows 8 is kind of a drag, and will probably downgrade to 7 soon if I don't get used to 8 quicker.

Pros: Snappy, responsive computer, for the price

Cons: The computer started up okay, but updating Windows 8 was problematic. I was able to eventually get it, but then the real problem started. Throughout my ownership of the computer, it occasionally crashes for no reason I can determine. Sometimes it crashes during games, other times during idle time.

The main reason I got the computer was to run PC games, particularly Star Wars: The Old Republic. I was able to install it but have not been able to patch the game during regular updates. When I patch the game on another machine, and copy the installation directory to this machine, the game works well. To this day, I have not been able to patch the game on this machine.

I assumed it was Windows 8, at first. I requested and received the installation CD for Windows on this machine, and did a clean reinstall of Windows. When that didn't work, I puchased Windows 7 and did a clean install of it. The problem persists.

I and several more computer literate people have attempted to isolate the problem. Everything seems to point to memory or motherboard problems.

Pros: When i finally got it work i notice that the performance pc had very good processing.

Cons: con: had to spend 200 dollar with microsoft to fix the installations mistakes that the manufacture let slide. i could have used that money toward improving the graphic or Ram on the desktop. 200 dollar newegg won't be seeing anytimes soon.

Other Thoughts: so tell me why i bought this desktop and the windows 8 would not start up for me at all. all the pre installations where done incorrectly and i had to pay another 200 dollars to microsoft to fix my computer for me. i had hackers on my Desktop after i had finished Getting passed the Windows 8 problem. Big Dissappointment. i should have gotten a refund but i was in need of a pc

Pros: Worked straight out of the box, good graphics card for what I needed, quiet fans, easy setup. Decent keyboard.

Cons: Mouse broke pretty fast, Windows 8 is a pain.

Other Thoughts: I'd recommend this computer for mid to low gamers, but then again I had an antique so this was an amazing upgrade.

Pros: -Fast boot
-Good graphics (not top notch, but then again this isn't a $1000+ model, lets be real here, kids.)
-good cooling
-pretty stable system so far

Cons: -a little loud, at a sacrifice for good cooling
-hitachi hard drive (seriously swap this out before it dies on you 2 years later, spoken from past experience...s)
-as far as I know, you are forced to use VIA HD AUDIO DECK which makes headphone compatibility really tedious.

Other Thoughts: -AS for windows 8 installation, it really wasn't as bad as everyone said it was. I ended up degrading to windows 7 anyway.
-Spent about 4 whole days trying to fix this issue until finding out that it was because I had a tablet attached to my computer. seriously, when you activate windows 8, disconnect any other kinds of hardware other than your monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

-Solid comp, despite the rough installation start - but it was all my mistake. GJ IBPower
