just to give you a heads up regarding cyberpowerpc & ibuypower........... They will not let you have a choice of what brand components you want put in your PC, you get whatever they decide to use or is cheapest for them

I was going to order/have built a new PC from them and I called to ask which type of ATI Brand VC I could get, what Brand of Ram, etc..... I even asked if I could pay extra if they would let me choose....... no dice

if the column in which you pick a component says ATI / some major brand   or Corsair or another major brand, etc...... you will be stuck with what they send you


this is the only reason I decided to order my parts and build it myself, because a Custom PC should be a custom PC, not what some other person decides to stuff in your box........

That's a big reason why I like to build my own.  Not only is it fun, but I also know EXACTLY what is going in the box.  Also if something goes bad I can replace only that part without having to worry about sending the entire system in for repairs, or voiding the warranty by removing the cover or changing hardware around.

I do have to admit though.. I was quite surprised to see how 'relatively cheap' they are selling these things for.  They must get some serious bulk discounts on the hardware.  It's hard to beat their prices even building it yourself!
