Very good experience with CircuitCity instore pick-up….fast and accurate.

order online & went to the store, item was ready in less than 24 minutes.

Will never shop at Bestbuy again!!!(I call it Worstbuy), bad service, greedy & pushy on selling their service plan or not gonna sell you the onsale stuff.

I purchased an IBuyPower PC from Circuit City as an in store purchase, using the specification sheet that was given to me in the store. This was my only buying guide for making this purchase. I did not know that it was on the internet as I later found out, nor could I have know because I bought it at or while in the store in Richmond Virginia.

My issue it not so much with Circuit City but with IBuyPower, the people at Circuit City were very kind and helpful but this was not the case with IBuyPower.

I purchased an IBuyPower PC model GMR GAMER901EX when it arrived it was a Gigabyte GA-EG31M-S2. It was billed as a gaming PC however it is abolutely is not a gamer.
The MB is a micro board with only two slots for RAM.
The heat sink for the CPU is not made for this case.
The Case is made out of sheet metal, I am sure of this because it sliced right into my right thumb making for a bloody mess.

I received the speck sheet from the store where it stated the unit had a 400 watt power supply, it did not.
I received a speck sheet from the store saying its OS was Vista 64 bit, it is not.
The front I/O audio plug does not work
I can not play Half Life 2 on this PC
It does not have enough power to run a decent video card nor any six pin plugs. This power supply of unknown origin and I am told that it will most likely not support a better video card and to be certain not able to handle other add on like PCI cards, or extra hard drives. I did try to confirm this statement with IBuyPower but they would not reply to my questions.
I spoke with the tech support people at ATI. I asked how many watts were needed to run an ATI Radeon™ HD 4800 Series video card and they said the PC needed at least a 450 watt power supply. IbuyPower does not state on their web site the out put of there Standard Case Power Supply. If you buy one from Circuit City you have to go into the store to find the advance specification sheets, but on the other hand they aren’t correct either.

When I called IBuyPower to ask a few questions, like how do I get into the BIOs, I was not allowed to speak to their primary support team. I was told that only one person troubles shots for Circuit City’s PC issues. After being on hold for some time I finally got through to this tech suppor person. I told this tech support guy that the PC didn’t live up to it’s specifications, his reply was, they didn’t recognized the specifications unless they listed them on the web site I am wondering now what web site. He refused to commiserate with any part of my disatisfactiion. His total lack of caring caused me to then expressed with more vigor why I needed to have these specification met, he again said there were no such specification, ironically, while I was holding them in my hand. Then I asked about the power supply being out of specification, he again totally repudiated my claim. I was only reading my Circuit City Specification Sheet when I bought this thing, I didn’t even know about a web site, I bought it in the store and they shipped it to me. I then told him about how the case was so poorly made that the sheet metal had sliced the heck out of my thumb,not being belligerent in any regard, but to only convince him that I was not lying about anything. He then put me on hold, then after about a 45 minutes on hold, maybe longer an IBuyPower operator came on the line and ask if he could help me. When I said that nasty word, Circuit City I was told that only Mike handles Circus City PCs and that he was in a meeting at that time, and that he would not be out for at least an hour longer. I assume he didn’t know this Mike guy had put me on hold over a half hour earlier.

Then there is the trouble I will have in returning this thing is also a major disadvantage too.

The CPU is a good one but we already know that
The RAM is made by Kingston and that is good value RAM
The Micro ATX motherboard is OK but dated
The only software that came with this PC is the OS Vista 32 bit, I had expected to see MS Works, as this is a nice office PC. Thank god for Open Office a free word processor that is similar to MS Word.

That said it is an excellent PC for anything other then gaming, but if you use a several applications at once like I do you need to have the option for more RAM and Vista 64 bit OS and that is what a Dual Core CPU is made for.
I like the PCs at IBuyPower assembled in China, but this one has just cut me too deeply, and wounded so that I can not buy another from them nor directly through Circuit City. I think I may just build another one from scratch so I don’t have to deal with this stuff ever again, and I will not need to have a specification sheet other then the one in my head.

I am sorry Circuit City has made such a mistake in buying from these people, it seems like they may have defrauded them in some way but I am not sure of it.

Man that was too long of a review but I am not cutting a thing.

I ordered a tracfone on a sunday from their website which was on sale for $40 which was $10 less than everywhere else I looked. I selected free shipping, package was shipped on a monday USPS and delivered on wednesday. I think the reason it arrived so soon is because it shipped from a warehouse only about 175 miles from my house. I’m happy I got it so fast especially since they estimated I wouldn’t get it for over a week.
