    does anyone have any experince with them? They gave a C27 Ultra with Dual Core and 512mb 8600gt nvidia video card and a 160GB hard drive for 1165. I dont know if I should go with a XPS 1530 refub or try one from this site. What do you all think? I am trying to keep it around 1200 for a decent gaming machine Thanks for the advice.

    Why are you asking it in a Dell forum? Shouldn't you be asking that here?

    Well, since it's the Dell forum, most people will tell you that the XPS 1530 is great and probably very few people here have experience with ibuypower and their machines. I would ask around in the "Other Manufacturers" forum for feedback on ibuypower and then make your decision based on that.

    BTW you'll probably get biased feedback in either this or the other forum, but I'm sure you can figure it out in the end.
