Do you stand up at the start or end of an intense virtual battle and yell out a battle cry to let other LAN party goers know you're the top dog? If so, you can immortalize your catchphrase on your computer case through iBuyPower's new laser engraving service, provided you're buying a system from the boutique system builder. Other options include customized graphics, or you can upload your own custom design to be etched on the side panel.
"Whether it's our flame scorched Chimera systems, modern Level 10 rigs, or the new Erebus flagship system, our commitment to building the best gaming computers possible extends beyond simply incorporating the latest and greatest components," said Darren Su, Vice President of iBuyPower. "Our computers look the part and the new engraving service provides our customers with truly personalized gaming systems."
Custom graphics need to be in black and white or grayscale and can be up to 1000x1000 pixels, or you can choose from one of five pre-rendered designs. Messages can up to 35 characters, enough to accommodate "Leeeeeeeroy Jenkins!"
The process, as shown above, runs $49 for a custom message and $99 for a custom graphic, whether you choose from one of iBuyPower's designs or upload your own.

I don't have it in my to buy a PC instead of build one, but it would be pretty damn awesome to have a giant wang on the side of my case.

This is a cool service. I hope they offer it by itself because honestly, you have to be dumb to buy form them at their inflated prices and questionable PUS tactics and pricing schemes.

This is pretty fucking cool.
I've had three iBuyPower PCs and they're alright. The last PC I built for a friend, though, I had to use another company since iBuyPower wouldn't sell me a PC w/o a graphics card. I already had an AMD Radeon 5870 lying around the house.
I'm guessing there's significant margin for iBuyPower on these cards, which is cool, since their gaming PCs are very affordable.
