    [SOLVED] need help deciding between 2 PCs or identifying potential issues with the way they're built.

    really. that bad huh? im trying to avoid OEM stuff too. less customization if any at all, plus weird cases with no air flow. most reviews ive seen suck too. acer isnt awful tho. any suggestions on the step above ibuypower and cyberpower? redux? maingear? DS? lyte? perhaps something in between...

    with 2 small toddlers, i dont have the time to build my own, or the knowhow. all ive ever done is swap gpus or ram or psu. from scratch is intimidating. maybe i can outsource it to a local shop. thanks for compiling that list.

    those 2 are really that bad eh? i know ive read some reviews, but they have to make them well SOMETIMES right? maybe not. what other sites do you recommend for either prebuilts or custom that are comparable in price and spec? again, thanks for the replies.

    thanks for the reply. ill look at upgrading the size of the cooler. is pro wiring and thermal paste really a waste? i thought it might mean they pay attention to detail more when building. how is the SSD so-so? im fine with the limited storage size, i have externals.
