Pros: Sandy Bridge 6 core i7, 16 GB, GTX2600x2GB, 2TB drive... great bang for the buck. I've had the machine about for about 12 hours. No internet access so no updates :( I've loaded Win7, XP and Server 2003 (barely configured) under VMware and did some rendering in Bryce. Loaded MS Office and checked Access, Excel and Word. So far, this machine has performed well.

Cons: Nice size case but small mobo, tight card space, difficult to put cables on headers. It supports crossfire but I can't understand how you'd fit another GTX2600 on it, much less cool it. Difficult to put cables on headers.

Overall Review: Be aware that IBuyPower machines always require you to check under the hood... make sure all your components and cables are properly plugged and placed. In my instance, the CPU fan was hanging loose. Again, great performance for the price, 5 eggs for the tech user who doesn't want crossfire, but I'm going to take a single egg off for the plug and play crowd. They never check under the hood.
