Lenovo H430 Desktop: Core i5 3330 3GHz, 8GB DDR3, 1TB HDD, DVD Burner, Windows 8 $375 + Free Shipping

Can anyone confirm what power supply wattage is in this? I don't see it anywhere. TIA!

i guess i'm just not seeing how this is a good deal for $400

once you part out the cpu, ram, and hard drive you're left with paying almost $200 for a lame case/psu, basic mobo and optical drive

......???

Short answer: As far as I know, this is the least expensive pre-built Ivy Bridge i5-based configuration we have seen.

Long answer: This is a deal on a pre-built PC for the 90% of people/businesses that do not do BYO. It comes with a geniuine copy of Windows and a 1-year warranty, something that you obviously don't put any value on. Plus you are undervaluing the CPU, the RAM, the hard drive and the cost of labor - not even mentioning a possible opportunity cost.

Here is the BYO Computer thread for your pleasure.

Just bought two at the store (Naperville IL)...had one in stock and the other delivers tomorrow. No problem using the coupon. 402 ea. out the door.

Manager was excellent...happy to accept the coupon and went out of his way to answer a bunch of questions a friend had and make some small talk.

Just picked up mine--$398, no problems with the coupon whatsoever. The guy scanned the barcode on the computer, scanned my coupon, I paid, and walked out the door a happy man with a new toy.

Quote from deymayor : am i reading it correctly, only 6 usb 2.0 ports and no usb 3.0? this is definitely an old model.

No usb 3.0, need wireless adapter.

Bought one in North Carolina. Manager accepted coupon right off, didn't exactly seem pleased, but no problems. Ended up being 401.

Anyone have advice on upgrading the gpu and if necessary psu?

Thanks.

Windows 8 kills this. so farking sad they made that shit

Why does this not have the HD 4000 like the Ivy Bridge laptops?

Because it's not a laptop.

There are plenty of solutions out there to make windows 8 look and act like Windows 7.

I was concerned about Windows 8 at first, but now I love it.

No go in the store @ Snowden River Parkway, Columbia, MD. They said I can only use one or the other. ie either use the $56 Instant Off or the $75 coupon.

I haven't owned a prefab in awhile so I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question. What's the specific mobo and or form factor and how easy is it to unmount it from the case? I'm planning on swapping the mobo and CPU with my current microatx mobo and using my current gpu and psu. TIA!
