This review will be in two parts: The good and bad of Cloudlinks.
For the good, the tech (Peter) responded quickly to my questions and was rather straightforward with me. He also went (far) beyond the estimated three hours work time and did not charge more than the quoted price. He picked up my parts and brought the finished work back.
For the bad: This took a full month for what normally would be an hour. Part of it was the motherboard having an issue and it taking him a couple days to get a new one. The big problem, though, was he did not notice a loose connection, and it took outside help for him to find it. Because of the connection issue, he could not turn on the machine at all. He also put in an air cooler to my new rig when I asked for a water one (the AIO water I got was too big). I have had heat issues in the past, you see. I also had bad RAM, and he put in two 8 gigs, rather than the 16s I had requested. Maybe that's on me. Two eights is 16 gigs, but I meant that I had two 16s, topping out at 32 gigs.
All in all, barring the time, Cloudlinks did a good job. I have my PC back, and so far it's working well. read more
