Reviews of the iBuypower Value Ultra (Athlon 64 X2 4200)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Inexpensive; dual-core Socket AM2 CPU; copious customization options.
The Bad: Default case is ugly, and the other case options aren't much better; similar Polywell system offers better overall performance, gaming aside.
The Bottom Line: The highly configurable iBuyPower Value Ultra can be set up to emphasize performance or price; this back-to-school configuration keeps a foot in both camps, but a better budget deal lurks elsewhere.
