    I have a question about cyberpower if they are reliable? They seem to be very cheap and very good like these http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Gamer_Infinity_HD_4850/ and http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Gamer_Xtreme_XT/ and I wonder if they are very good for the price. For me they seem that they are cheaper than what they can be built for if you build the same exact thing (Meaning it seems like building them would cost either the same or more plus cyberpower has like 5% discounts and all that and why spend money and build it yourself?). Thank You.

    Absolutely not, it's a shame you weren't around a year or two ago, there was quite a thread running about that. IBuyPower and CyberPower look like good systems at first, but you have to look closely at all the parts they use. I think the era of them using Asus nForce boards is gone now so they will have improved, but even so, the actual build quality of a system can often be hidden by using a nice case...

    The main issues with those systems is ultimately, they are just quad core and HD4850 or HD4870 PCs, which you can easily build yourself for well under $1000.
    The cheap and potentially hazardous liquid cooling kit and power supply does not remotely fill me with confidence.
