Conclusion:
iBUYPOWER is having a huge back to school sale, as configured, this machine will retail for $999. It would cost you just as much to build this machine yourself and you would lose the technical support, and three year limited warranty. You could build a machine of this caliber for less money, but you probably wouldn’t have liquid cooling, and the phantom case.
Pros:

Cons:

The synthetic benchmarks were what you would expect, but the system handled some dx11 gaming much better than I expected. This system is a great starter rig as well, you could easily upgrade the power supply and video card later to get a big jump in performance. For any standard user this would be a fantastic system. Enthusiasts or technophiles will want to have iBUYPOWER put some higher end components in the system, but When you take into consideration the overall performance and included value of a warranty this is pretty awesome hardware.
