Hi,
I am wondering if any of you have purchased computers off www.ibuypower.com? What did you think of the product you recieved for the price you payed? Any other sites that you know of that compete on the same level, you still get the biggest bang for your buck?

I've read good things about Ibuypower. However, I use Pricewatch and look for bargains there. Haven't been burned yet. :-)

Personally, I have bought 1 full PC and parts for most of another, and haven't had a problem. Recommended them to 2 co-workers, who have also bought through them, and were happy with their purchases.
Another good site is www.abspc.com, I've bought a couple of PC's from them for family. I go between ibuypower and abs depending on who has the better prices at the time, and they both rank extremely well at www.resellerratings.com.
Cheers,
Andre

I like www.micropro.com. I've also bought stuff off of stuff off pricewatch with no problems, but always called on the phone in the order to talk to the guy in person just to feel a little more secure about the deal.

DO NO USE!!!! STOP!! We bought last Sept 2002. It came with parts missing that we had paid for. The CDRW burned out almost at once, and then it died and refused to reboot. We have had it in boxes to CA more than here, they have tried to fix it two times and have sent parts that I had to pay to install and it still does not work. Just a black screen. They REFUSE to replace it even though it is obviously so flawed that they can't fix it, and told me to mail it back AGAIN and they would try a 3rd time. They are running the warranty out. I basically own a worthless pile of metal and plastic for which I paid good money and have had no use. WORST EXPERIANCE EVER!!!!
