    I can't recommend Cyberpower. Even though the parts were not all that expensive, I spent 1500 on a computer that does not play Empire well and support is non-existant. They forgot to hook up my GPU to the Radiator and water cooler, put no heat sinks on my card and made it litterally impossible for me to fix the situation.

    If I try to install the GPU water cooler, I have to unplug the CPU cooler and there is water running through my case. I don't know what to do. I'm going to go buy a bunch of fans that they forgot to send me.

    Long story short, Empire crashes or the graphics sputter like mad every 30 mins. Vista works pretty crappy with the games that I used to love playing (Battlefield 2) and the Audio input jacks are faulty on my case. They sent no instructions on anything, sent a cheap brick stereo.

    The PC is good for surfing the web, playing music and vieiwng Empire for 20 mins at a time before failure.

    All of the peripherals ($500 bucks from Newegg) work fine. the $966 computer is awesome in concept, faulty in cyberpower design - I should have gone with Dell because they have onsite.

    I would not reccomed cyberpower to anyone who has my level of knowledge of computers. To those who are good with hardware and troubleshooting, go ahead, your money will go a bit longer with them.

    I'll stick with onsite service that actually calls me back next time - I'm a gamer, not a techie.
