This is not your normal review as I own a computer repair business myself. However, I have come across two different computers that Sam built brought in by customers due to "end of life" and ready to be recycled. Seeing as I work on computers daily, I get a glimpse that most consumers do not see: inside the computer, which shows the care put into their build.
The computers themselves were quite old, dating back probably at least 10 years judging by the components. However, the detail to how they were built was still evident. It was obvious that much thought and care had been put into the systems, from cable management to the proper screws being used to proper airflow. This may sound kind of funny, but after seeing so many "big name" companies (looking at you, HP) that look like they were thrown together as fast as they could, it was refreshing to see these two computers with attention to detail in a place the customer would never see. In fact, I didn't realize they were from the same builder until the similarities caused me to go back and compare. It was like a signature, in a place that may have never been noticed by his customer.
I have never met Sam and have only come in contact with his work based on the labels on the cases. But, they say integrity is what you do when nobody is looking, or in this case when nobody will see it. It's building something right because it's right...not to show off. And because of this, I recommend Sam's work and would trust him with my own computer. read more
