According to its press release, iBuypower will be the exclusive system integrator to carry a desktop built around the crazy-looking Level 10 desktop chassis unveiled this past March.

The Level 10 is the first foray into desktop case design by the BMW Group Designworks USA, although manufacturing duties for the Level 10 fell to ThermalTake. iBuypower will be selling the case in a configuration that includes an Intel Core i7 920 CPU, an Asus P6T X58 motherboard, a GeForce GTX 285 graphics card, 6GB of 1,333MHz DDR3 SDRAM, a 1TB storage hard drive, and a 128GB solid-state boot drive from Kingston.
Pricing starts at $2,499, a reasonable fee for a PC with those components. iBuypower informs us that Level 10-based system is available now, although it's not immediately obvious where to find it on iBuypower's gaudy Web site.
It's been two months since we mentioned the possibility of winning a PC for Digital Trends' Favorite Gaming Memory contest. The contest is now over and Thomas Anderle of Massapeque Park, NY is now a proud owner of an iBUYPOWER Video Pro System, and a $2,000 American Express gift card.
Thomas' video was chosen from 40 submissions, and over 800 people voted on Digital Trends in just 4 days. In total, the submitted videos generated more than 17,000 views.
Thomas' video Mega Man X Gaming Memory, depicts his and his friend Chris' two-week-long quest to beat Mega Man X. The video opens with Chris accidentally finding his Super Nintendo in a closet and convincing his friend to skip work to play. After two weeks of calling into work, the pair finally defeat Sigma and save the human race from extinction.

iBuyPower announced a new line of PCs for the video enthusiast today; and to celebrate, it is launching a YouTube contest. The winner of the Favorite Gaming Moments YouTube contest gets an iBuypower Video Pro desktop and a $2,000 gift card. Upload a video recreating your favorite gaming moment, and the winner will be selected from a group of 10 finalists by the YouTube community. The contest runs through August, and the final voting closes mid-September.
iBuypower says the three new desktops are ideal for amateur videographers to create and edit video content for the Web. Based on each system's specs, we're not inclined to disagree:
