I hope 3DSublime is happy with his/her choice.
I purchased an iBuyPower machine back in December 2021, when my machine died. I normally build my own systems, but I was pressed for time and I wanted to upgrade my graphics card. As you recall graphics cards were quite unavailable at the end of 2021. The system I purchased was very close to what I would build component-wise, plus it came with a 3-year warranty. My system is liquid cooled and has 4 case fans. Dollar-wise, the price was about the same as purchasing the components separately. I was so happy with my system that I bought another "JR" version of it for my grandson a couple of months later.
I evaluated the Dell Alienware system before making both purchases, but chose the iBuypower because of the better price and warranty. The Alienware that I recommended on this forum thread is liquid cooled, though it is a bit light on case fans. However, Dell claims that the case design and layout has been optimized for cooling.
