Consumer review (newegg.com)

Professional!

Quite a hastle using XP for 6 year's then switching to vista after hearing years of bad reviews about it. But I guess if i would have started on Vista I wouldnt have known any better. Decent OS, takes some learning.

Very good running computer, having a large understanding of computers for many many years, and making my first big upgrade since a 2003 sony viao. I didnt realize such power existed. Now if they can just come out with a game worth playing to utilize...

Yet to notice any con's on this machine, was out of the box and running flawlessly in under 10 minutes

Awesome

Just got this comp today, delivered on time and everything works just perfectly. Super quiet rig and very easy to set up. Amazingly fast, great for WoW and any other game that requires great performance from your comp

Nothing yet. Just had a few hours, I'll update if there are any issues

Dont buy

I am getting ready to send it back again(cost $50). over all i am very unhappy with this computer

When its working the performance is great and what you expect out of a 1k gaming computer

After two months the motherboard failed i sent it back to be replaced. After getting back the computer it worked fine for three days until the motherboard failed again. Also i did not get genuine vista on this computer

Great Value

UPS took forever to get this thing to me. I asked Newegg to refund my $2.99 express packaging fee, and they did. I love Newegg.

Ran great, right out of the box. Packaged very well. Very clean design, INCREDIBLY quiet and INCREDIBLY fast. I'm loving this thing. Not sure how you could beat it for the price

I'm trying real hard to think of one but no, none

This PC is a WINNER

I was a bit hesitant buying a pre-made as I typically build my own pc's. So far this pc has met all of my expectations. It runs both cool and quiet. Graphics are smooth in all applications and games, even at highest settings. I am not Vista's biggest...

None other than the adjustment period for Vista

A Great PC - With Few Defects

The only reason I gave the computer a 4/5 is because of the defective components. I'm returning the computer to get a new one, but without those issues - this is clearly a 5/5 PC.

The computer runs great, it's quiet, and performance is top notch. I don't know of any current PC games that this thing can't play, even Crysis. The case is very nice to look at, and overall it's a very nice machine

There were several defective parts of the computer when I received it

Great!

WOULD BUY AGAIN A+++++++++++++++++++

Very Good PC. Opened it up and my first thought was WOW that is a huge graphics card. Takes up two rear panels and has duel monitor capability, so it is perfect for that gamer in everyone. Neon lighting is a plus for the looks of the tower, and the...

A few things didn't work on startup and had to reboot a few times but as far as im concerned that is standard for any new PC

Pleased So Far

I haven't had any problems so far (it's early). I purchased an extended warranty just in case (which normally I would not do). I bought this because two years for a gaming computer is about my limit. I purchased specifically for Warhammer Online and it...

Hooked it up and was going in under ten minutes. VERY quiet computer (had to check to make sure the fans were running- they were). Replaced a two year old Alienware Area 51 with this one, and it performs far better than expected. For the price, the...

None so far. Not much of an instruction manual (though the technical manual on how to build it seems very thorough)
