There's a large difference between upgrading a P4 to a Core i7, but to say gaming requires a Core i7-980X Extreme Edition processor is overkill, no?]]>Mar 19th 2010 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/ibuypower-crams-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-paladin-deskto/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/ibuypower-crams-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-paladin-deskto/Mar 19th 2010 3:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/ibuypower-crams-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-paladin-deskto/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/ibuypower-crams-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-paladin-deskto/Mar 19th 2010 3:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/ibuypower-crams-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-paladin-deskto/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/ibuypower-crams-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-paladin-deskto/Mar 19th 2010 3:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/ibuypower-crams-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-paladin-deskto/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/ibuypower-crams-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-paladin-deskto/
And in 18 months when there's a chance you may need this, it'll be a fraction of the cost. No need spending more now when you can get it for less when you are actually able to use it.

From looking at their customization options these are just off the shelf preconfigured machines that you could easily put together yourself. I'm not sure what is so special about this company that they get coverage for adding a new intel processor. Maybe they are advertising with Engadget or something.]]>Mar 19th 2010 5:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/ibuypower-crams-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-paladin-deskto/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/ibuypower-crams-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-paladin-deskto/Mar 19th 2010 1:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/ibuypower-crams-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-paladin-deskto/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/ibuypower-crams-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-paladin-deskto/

I disagree, maybe you had a bad situation with them but ibuypower does business decently. Their prices are as good as if you built it yourself too, sometimes a little more because they force quality parts on you though.. but nothing out of this world like dell, alienware, or any other box store brand. ]]>Mar 19th 2010 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/ibuypower-crams-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-paladin-deskto/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/ibuypower-crams-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-paladin-deskto/Mar 19th 2010 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/ibuypower-crams-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-paladin-deskto/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/ibuypower-crams-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-paladin-deskto/
To put emphasis on my previous statement, resellerratings.com has ibuypower at 7.9/10 where best buy is 2/10, newegg is 9.7/10 (of course), and alienware has a lifetime rating of 7.8/10]]>Mar 19th 2010 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/ibuypower-crams-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-paladin-deskto/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/ibuypower-crams-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-paladin-deskto/Mar 19th 2010 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/ibuypower-crams-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-paladin-deskto/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/ibuypower-crams-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-paladin-deskto/Mar 19th 2010 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/ibuypower-crams-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-paladin-deskto/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/ibuypower-crams-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-paladin-deskto/Mar 19th 2010 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/ibuypower-crams-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-paladin-deskto/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/ibuypower-crams-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-paladin-deskto/Mar 19th 2010 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/ibuypower-crams-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-paladin-deskto/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/ibuypower-crams-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-into-paladin-deskto/AUUUUGH, MY EYES! This company should've been shut down years ago. Shoddily constructed computers, cheap cases, cheap power supplies, and cheap shipping materials. I can't tell you how many horror stories I've read of people's graphics cards snapping in half in the delivery process because they weren't properly packaged and supported.
