Did you get a hard drive and OS with it? Monitor, keyboard, mouse?
What kind of power supply did it come with? Sounds like a good deal based on what you listed. These Blue Neons are hard to find (and absolutely necessary!)

I got a green and black internet keyboard and a green and black (wheel) mouse. Both I dont need though because I have fancy logitech stuff. And I got a 80GB Hard Drive and Windows XP Home. And a 420 watt (or 450) power supply.

Nice rig. Love the case

I'm running:

- Athlon 2600 Barton
- Asus A7V600-X mobo
- 512 DDR RAM
- GeForce MX 440 128MB (So need upgrading)
- Shiny black custom server case with a Antec 120mm blue illuminated side mounted fan (keeps CPU below 40C under load, about 30C idle)
- PCI Slot cooler just below graphisc card (http://www.thinkgeek.com/pcmods/cooling/6937/)
- Custom green glow control panel on the front for the fans

Would post a pic if i had a camera

Wait, IBuyPower is cheaper!?!?! I thought they were more money! I was choosing between IBP and CPI and I chose Cyberpower because they were cheaper.

And now my friend, Modest Mouse (n00b), copied me by getting the same computer but in yellow and in lower specs like an Athlon XP 2500+.



And I wanted to know how trust-worthy is Cyberpower? I read about them in PC World as a great gaming computer and they said it had great performance but I wanted to know your opinion.. if you have ever heard of Cyberpower.
