Well the subjectssaid it all?


Well, yes it did.

I am having rather mixed luck with them.

1) System took 20 days to ship, not 5 to 10 like their website advertises
for standard build time. Funny thing is, I contacted them a few times and
they just kept saying "in a few days," "in a few days." However, when I
started researching the case, and contacted them with questions such as "why
is does my case have 50 watts less power then the case ships with retail,"
and "why am I paying 9 dollars more for three extra case fans when the case
ships with five fans and, only has space for those five fans." (I only have
four case fans now, and the case should have 5.) I never got a reply to
this email, but my system was built, tested, and a final 24 hour "burn in"
test was done 12 hours after I contacted them on these issues. The burn in
test was completed after FedEx picked-up the package.......

2) Two tech support emails, no reply.

3) Random crashing. Never in games, seems to be IE, Outlook Express, and
Firefox mainly. Do not know why.

4) Would have paid much more if I had built the system myself.

5) The case that I picked had two front temp readouts, one for the CPU, the
other for a hard drive. However the one for the CPU was taped to an empty
drive cage. (also in one of the emails, of course no reply)

6) Never crashed during a game. (okay, a few times but I had just patched
BF2 and was messing with overclock settings and NVIDIA profiles) After I
reinstalled the latest NVIDIA driver the problem disapeared.

7) Fast as hell

8) Some systems have free shipping and other don't, however all are 100
configureable. Did not find this out until after FedEx had my package.
They did not reply to that email either. Hell it was only 65 dollars. You
know what, I think I will have a long call with them tomorrow.

8) Don't know what the hell to tell you.

BTW, Dual core is the way to go.
