so i am planning to buy this one day. ive never put a computer together though. i dont think it will be so hard after watching some youtube tuts but i started looking at prebuilt desktops anyway.

just wanted some opinons on this compared to that wishlist. theres some sketchy reviews about the brand. if i shouldnt buy it, put some links to some that will perform similar for around the same price.

and about heat, i play f2p games that arent so graphically intense and i wont be "overclocking". do u think i should still buy the hyper 212 evo?

With CyberPower I feel you can get better for the money. They're like other companies that make custom PC's.

Spend the extra bucks and buy the parts you want to build with. Building a PC is not hard at all. And since it's Intel you don't really have to worry about bending CPU pins very easily.
 
All the cords? Like what? We have a "how to build a computer" 101 with photos.
 
manuals and tutorial videos can show you everything, or just common sense since they can only plug into one socket normally. and all the cables are included with the various parts.

And voyager, the tut with pics has been gone for a couple months, remember, the photos were deleted by the website hosting them or something and in the end they just un-stuck it/deleted it.
 
also whats with shipping prices?

fedex 3 day - $121
ups 3 day - $11
newegg 2 day - $93
newegg next day - $108

why so expensive and why so cheap
 
When I built my computer the only thing I had to supply in order to build it was a phillips head screwdriver. All the other cords and everything else is supplied with your parts.
 
When I did my first build, around 95 I think, I did it because of the price of Computers at the time. A 486DX2-66 was around 3500 dollars. Wasn't a lot of places selling parts, but there were a few in Austin (I was stationed at Ft. Hood at the time). Bought a book called Building and Repairing PC's. About 1000 pages of indecipherable crap. Bought most of my parts at a Dell Warehouse. It was based on a 586DX4-166 IIRC. Cost about half of what a new computer cost with less than half the power. Burned up 2 CPU's before getting the 3rd one in correctly, fortunately Dell replaced them for free. Computer actually caught fire on the first one. Then, the pin configuration was the same on all for corners so it was easy to put a CPU in the wrong way, that's what caused it. Since then I have done at least 100 builds for other people and myself.

Today, a 10 year old can do it. Parts are made to go in one way. Cabling is simple, everything fits in only its intended position. And you can build a nice computer for a lot less than you will pay for someone else to do a custom build. And as far as shipping goes, look around, there are so many places on the Web to buy hardware and many of them offer free shipping. Don't limit yourself, even check out Amazon, there are a lot of vendors on there that offer free shipping and there is not much you cant get there. Even major online stores like Newegg have an Ebay presence and offer free shipping whereas they charge shipping for the same items on their site.

I have been snooping around this forum, all the info you need to do your own build and answers to any questions you might have are right here.

I have been working with Computers for 30 years, since 82, and I still have questions. Surprising what you can learn.
