Pros: Liked cost and size of drive.

Fast computer, easy setup

iBUYPOWER Gaming Desktop View2187Ti Intel Core i7-8700 16GB DDR4 2TB HDD 240GB SSD GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Windows 10 Home 64-bit

Pros: Was up and running 30 minutes after un-boxing, then of course Windows upgrades started, but went flawlessly. This is a clean tower inside with some ability to adding a drive or two, great internal layout, looks great through glass sides. Very little junk pre-installed in windows, very clean windows installation made it so I didn't have to delete much at all. An NVIDIA GPU with cool lights and a remote control unit to adjust the colors and intensity, very cool. Does that make me cool?

Cons: The CPU cooler is not sufficient for this high powered a unit. A fan on top of the CPU just wont cut it if you do anything CPU intensive. I rendered a few 3D images and the CPU temperatures got up to 95c which will kill off a processor pretty fast. If you hear the CPU fan running at full speed for anything past a few seconds check the temperature of the CPU. My MSI board has great monitoring software just for this type of thing I got from their website for the motherboard. Beware of CPU temps or you new build may be short lived.

Overall Review: For the price I couldn't have built the same on my own, this is my second Ibuypower, and the first is still going fine, just wanted to get a faster PC that was VR ready. I recommend this company as my first ibuypower still runs great 4 years later. Getting updated drivers for the MSI PC board mine came with was easy, and NVIDIA CPU monitoring software on internet was easy to find and install too. Also got the Western Digital SSD software to monitor it's functions. I have complete control of this PC. This system is 4 times faster than my old I7 processor based system. It's fast for this price range.

3 plus years and still runs great

Pros: reliable, fast, quiet, windows upgraded to windows 10 now and still running strong. Very stable machine.

Cons: none

Overall Review: Can't believe I bought this back in 2012, and it still runs great. I got my money's worth from getting an IBuypower computer from Newegg.

Much better than Expected

Pros: 7.9 Windows Experience Index straight out of the box Primary HD 8.1 Memory 8.0 These numbers were mostly unreachable just a year ago. It runs faster than I was expecting No Bloatware, just basic stuff installed - Excellent

Cons: haven't found them yet

Overall Review: Apparently some thought went into this machine as all the parts seem to run at top speed, no errors, no problems. I usually build my own systems from scratch, but the price and combo on this system was so good I took a chance, and I could not be any happier. If you are a previous do it your self builder like I have been for years, this one meets and beats my expectations.

Still working great
