Well balanced PC with a fair price! Reviews CybertronPC GM2222D 5150 Escape Gaming PC AMD FX 4100 3.60GHz Quad-Core

I've never owned a good, high-end gaming computer, but this CybertronPC GM2222D 5150 Escape Gaming PC AMD FX 4100 is fast! I've been able to play every game I've tried at really high graphics levels.  The speed was so much better than my previous PC and the graphics were fantastic on my new ASUS 24" HD monitor.

The CybertronPC GM2222D 5150 computer never even gets warm, it has so many fans, I've left it on overnight to download things, and in the morning it's still cool as if I just turned it on. I love it, haven't had a single problem with it so far! Great price for what you get, you'll love it!

One cool thing CybertronPC let me know about this CybertronPC GM2222D 5150 computer is that opening the case does not void the warranty. They welcome the end user modifying the components inside and will provide recommendations and assistance for doing so. I'm very excited about this because what this means is, if something fails, I don't have to replace the whole thing.

I can also add stuff as my budget allows (may add more hard drives and a read / write / rip(?) blue ray drive.) I can replace the power supply, video card, anything...and my warranty is still good and they'll help me do it. Awesome!

Also, I’m really big into retro game emulation and old DOS games through DOSBox.. It’s imperative to me that emulators like MAME, Dolphin, VICE, etc perform well and they do on this CybertronPC GM2222D 5150 PC. Other games I’ve tried and have worked very well are Trine, Bioshock, Bioshock 2, Skylanders, Flight Simulator X, Torchlight, Madden, Fritz Chess, Portal 2, GTA, Mark of the Ninja, Deadlight, Iron Brigade, Toy Soldiers, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, Continuum (Subspace), Renegade Ops, Majesty2, The Cave, The Darkness II, Borderlands 1 & 2, Hell Yeah!, Magicka, Machinarium, WARP, and DMC Devil may Cry.

Well if you’re a Tivo user and use your PC as a server for Tivo then you can expect that experience to improve. It’s hard to say how well programs transfer from a Tivo to the PC because virtually all content is locked down with DRM by the cable company preventing transferring shows in that direction. For transferring programs from the PC to Tivo I’ve seen a remarkable improvement. no problems there, it just works.

In conclusion, I’m happy with my CybertronPC GM2222D 5150 Escape Gaming PC AMD FX 4100 3.60GHz Quad-Core purchase and feel this is a well balanced business/student/gaming PC and an excellent value. Thanks Cybertron.
