But i do agree on the Gaudy thing, Why don't they offer the Antec 900/1200 cases? At least they're fairly conservative and reserved compared to those abominations...]]>Nov 18th 2009 3:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/cyberpower-adds-usb-3-0-and-sata-6g-to-entire-gamer-xtreme-deskt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/cyberpower-adds-usb-3-0-and-sata-6g-to-entire-gamer-xtreme-deskt/Nov 17th 2009 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/cyberpower-adds-usb-3-0-and-sata-6g-to-entire-gamer-xtreme-deskt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/cyberpower-adds-usb-3-0-and-sata-6g-to-entire-gamer-xtreme-deskt/Nov 17th 2009 11:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/cyberpower-adds-usb-3-0-and-sata-6g-to-entire-gamer-xtreme-deskt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/cyberpower-adds-usb-3-0-and-sata-6g-to-entire-gamer-xtreme-deskt/
I really want a high end beast for music production - I'm tired of having to use multiple PCs to get more power!?

Scan do a nice job of overclocking the i7 975 with 1600Mhz RAM and Motherboard combo.

Of course if I had unlimited funds I'd go for a "Home Super Computer"

I can but dream ...

However, the cooling unit wasn't properly attached and rattled around in shipment. It bent over and destroyed the motherboard and memory. (The gaudy blue light was stuck on with 2 sided sticky tape and came loose too)

Ok, S-it happens. However, it took days to get through to a human to even take my call. Then the best they could offer was to charge me again for all the motherboard components, ship it out ground, and then have me ship back my stuff for a credit.

Then they ship the parts out signature only so I have to sit home and prey it arrives today.

IF, it all works, it will have taken 6 weeks from order to a working computer, about 7 nasty messages, and then about 2 hours of my time disassembling and basically building the computer from scratch.

I guess I got what I paid for. This is why they are cheap. They have like 1 person in all of customer service and do everything on the super cheap. Take my advice, spend a little more for a more reputable vendor.]]>Nov 17th 2009 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/cyberpower-adds-usb-3-0-and-sata-6g-to-entire-gamer-xtreme-deskt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/cyberpower-adds-usb-3-0-and-sata-6g-to-entire-gamer-xtreme-deskt/Nov 17th 2009 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/cyberpower-adds-usb-3-0-and-sata-6g-to-entire-gamer-xtreme-deskt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/cyberpower-adds-usb-3-0-and-sata-6g-to-entire-gamer-xtreme-deskt/
This is my 3rd CyberPower.

My first had sporadic freezups. Never could nail it down and I didn't turn the screws enough so I lied with it.

The 2nd was good for about 2 years. Than the USB blew out. LIterally saw melted chip on the mobo. Not blaming them. It was out of warranty and an Acer motherboard.

My latest (which replaces a unit I assembled myself from parts I bought at newegg but it started having issues) is the one that arrived DOA.

It wasn't their product I'm complaining about. It's their customer service. You didn't have any DOA units.

If somebody ships me a DOA product (I even sent them hires photos of everything and a video), than they should bend over backwards to make good. My credit card was charged almost a month ago. Now new buyers get free USB3 and Sata 6. I essentially am struggling to get a now, less that state of the art computer, that I paid for a month ago, operational. I know have to go because I have to disassemble and re-assemble it myself.

Their only other option was to send the defective back (UPS ground across the us) and then they would fix and send back. So instead of an extra 10 days, it was probably like 25 or more. I'd be lucky to have a new computer, ordered mid-October, by Xmas. WTF??]]>Nov 17th 2009 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/cyberpower-adds-usb-3-0-and-sata-6g-to-entire-gamer-xtreme-deskt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/cyberpower-adds-usb-3-0-and-sata-6g-to-entire-gamer-xtreme-deskt/
Seriously shoddy assembly work.]]>Nov 17th 2009 3:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/cyberpower-adds-usb-3-0-and-sata-6g-to-entire-gamer-xtreme-deskt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/cyberpower-adds-usb-3-0-and-sata-6g-to-entire-gamer-xtreme-deskt/Nov 17th 2009 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/cyberpower-adds-usb-3-0-and-sata-6g-to-entire-gamer-xtreme-deskt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/cyberpower-adds-usb-3-0-and-sata-6g-to-entire-gamer-xtreme-deskt/
Now I called them and will be lucky to get a call back in 72 hours. Then they will say, just ship it back UPS ground (8 days from the call to arrival to them,) then they will spend 2 or 3 days fixing/replacing, then 8 days back again.

So it will be like 45 days from order to a working computer. Since then, I could probably get a 20% faster computer with USB 3.0 built in.

Thank god I bought this on Amex. Time to let them fight it out and for me to buy another computer elsewhere.]]>Nov 17th 2009 9:04PM
