Andy,
Thanks for your comment & question. I probably should have posted the final results of my PC purchase and experience with Cyberpowerpc earlier but neglected to do so.

I’m pleased to report the everything went quite well. It’s been over a year now since my PC purchase. My computer system works perfectly. No problems. All components are in perfect working shape. I game with ease and there are no apparent problems with the cooling system (liquid cooling) or anything else that I’m aware of. The system was shipped to me on time and packaged well. I can’t say I have anything to report, good or bad, as far as customer support goes simply because I haven’t had any reason to contact them (thank goodness). Communication with Cyberpowerpc during the buying process was good.

So… given my experience I’d say I’d recommend you consider Cyberpowerpc.

Please post again and let me know how it goes!

Wade,

I’m looking into buying from Cyberpowerpc as well because I noticed the same thing you did. It’s been a while since you posted this and was wondering if you could give an update on how your PC is doing and how customer support has been if you’ve used it.

mviars,
Yes, off-screen reloading works. If the original game (ie: House of the Dead) required an off-screen reload then the guns will respond accordingly. I have MANY lightgun games that were off-screen reload style in the arcade and still act the same on my home arcade cabinet with Arcade light guns.

I’ve used them on my LCD and a CRT monitor. I haven’t officially tried them on a Plasma, but the with the technology used, they will work just as well with a plasma TV. The owner’s manual of Arcade guns states that the work with a Plasma as well. The IR sensor that tracks the gun has nothing to do with the type of TV/Monitor used with the guns.

I hope that help. Thanks for posting your questions.
