Question

Hai there,
I was in your boat also man. I looked at CyberPower, but the customer reviews and horror stories from that site really scared the poop out of me. I was looking at Velocity, Falcon NW, and a ton of others also. This site offers computers that are affordable and that rank right up there with the "high end" boutiques out there.

The bottom line is that you get more computer, service, and well being here, in my opinion, for a lot less than places like the ones I listed above. I looked at some sites that were well above what I was quoted here for my system, like $1500 - $2500 above the price. Cyberpower or Ibuypower seems like the type of boutique that would use OEM parts to get the prices that they offer, and from what I have read, getting a functioning PC is a crap shoot when you open the box. Furthermore, if said PC was messed up, the tech department was even harder to reach. I myself called to chat with one of their sales people and it seemed as though I was bothering him in his day,lol. At least that's how I was treated anyway.

Customer service here is outstanding. Here, they treat you like a member of the Royal family and go out of their way to help you. I have not recieved my computer yet, but I have to say that this has been the most pleasent buying experience to date. I would imagine that the only reason my computer hasn't gone into production yet is because I keep upgrading it, but I can't wait to get it here.

I am not real familiar with Vigor, but if you buy here, I think you will be more than happy.

what ever you do don't go to cyberpower.  Here is a true story from my friend who bought one about less than a year ago.  He got a great rig for a very cheap price.  The shipping was delayed, but it only came a few days late.  when he opened the box the chassis had two dents and a scrape mark.  He called customer service but never reached them and was on hold for over an hour.  Next he boot the computer.  It ran great and had a great fps for the first 4 months, until it began to over heat regardless of the cpu and gpu liquid cooling.  He was trying to contact the customer service for months and got a reply from somebody who kept asking him questions about whether or not it was plugged in, was the monitor turned on etc.  Now he can still play games, but now the walls are taken off of the chassis and is open.  This is the only way to keep it cool.  I definitely don't recommend cyberpower to anyone.

I don't know about customer service but the price difference between Vigor/DSO is far more than you realize.

Protip : Cyberpowerpc and Ibuypower are the same people.


They sell bootlegged bullsh*t demo-hardware (you know the trial-edition cut down trash they peddle in korea? thats whats in your cyberpower system).

Call up their customer service, you're either going to get some mush-mouthed retard, or you'll get stuck on hold then hung up on. You may wonder "well shoot, on their website there are ZERO negative reviews, how can this be possible?" I'll explain that.


They have a filter set up so that when you submit a review below 4 stars, it just doesn't show up. Period. All of the 'testimonials' are written by their employees.

You may have also wondered how they could have gotten positive reviews for certain systems by CNet, PCGamer, etc. This is because they cherry-pick their products going out for review (they aren't going to ship fake, broken hardware out to the magazine that sells them ad-space).


Bottom Line

Stay away from Cyberpowerpc/Ibuypower at all costs.

how many people posted saying that they're computer took over a month vs how many people you think got their computer quickly.

We ship hundreds of systems a month, perhaps we should do a giveaway to all the customers that participate on the forums LOL that will flood these forums with positive reviews.

I looked at every Computer Co. for over 2 years, and I finally decided on DS.  When I frinally placed my order that resulted in the system I currently have, the total time from Stage 1 until my systen was delivered to my door was 12 working days.  That did NOT include weekends, nor Holidays. 

I think it was Confucius who said, "Man who go to bed with itchy butt wake-up with smelly finger".  I also think it was the discerning Confucius who said "Man who eat jellybeans fart in Technicolor". 

I have a pondering question.  If Polish people are called "Poles", wouldn't people from Holland be called "Holes".

Just a thought.

Apparently EdH is drinking and posting again.
Cheers, mate.
