CyberPowerPC Gamer infinity 8300?

Joe2005 · 10-22-2007, 08:13 PM

Ok so a couple weeks ago my computer shut down . . . wow whats so frikkin special about that? Well I didn't tell it to! When it started up it took f o r e v e r and said, "Windows has recoverd from a serious error." So I thought whierd and went about my day, but nothing would work and I mean nothing I couldn't even reformat the HDD!

So I looked around and was absolutly disgusted with what we had in town, the custon built major brands (dell, hp, acer, lenevo . . . ) All cost over $2,000 for what I want, and then I found this.

Now you may wonder why I just rambled on about this, well if dell and hp can't sell it to me for under 2 grand what's wrong with this computer? Is it just they don't advertise (I've never heard of them) and pass the savings to you, use ultra cheap components, or is compatiability a *female doggy*, what is it?

I want to know what you think about this computer.
Does it look good to you?
Would you buy it?
Does anything look really wrong with it?

I'm pretty sure I want to get this but I just don't know if it's quality, and if I do a search for it I can't find it which makes me nerveous.

P.S. I don't need a monitor or speakers, and what do you think hapend to my computer?

It would be nice if you could post a link to what you want us to look at.

Is kinda k, you'd be better off building your own because you get more for what you pay versus company's like ciberpower,hp,dell,alienware etc

Crap, sorry.

You should consider building one yourself. It's pretty easy. You could build an awesome system for the same price of one of those medicore OEM machines.

EDIT: Yeah, what chupacabra said (he posted before me

).

Joe2005 · 10-22-2007, 08:25 PM

I added up all the components I would need and it was worse than this computer and cost $1,500.

Joe2005 · 10-22-2007, 08:26 PM

So where are you guys getting all these "cheap" components?

paratwa · 10-22-2007, 08:26 PM

If you built it yourself, then you could upgrade the HDD and video card for about the same price, or for even less.

NewEgg ClubIt

I just priced the parts out using newegg for that system, and it is a decent price.

But you could still upgrade the video card and HDD's for the same price. Get rid of the SLI 8600's and go with 1 8800gts and get a HDD with 16meg cache instead of the 8 meg it has on the built system.

But, for what it is, it's a decent system.

Just be aware the cyberpowerpc does not have the best reputation. There are a couple of hundred complaints about them on the BBB website, and if you have any problems with the system you will have to deal with cyberpower to get them resolved.
