Edit: 2 years later this machine has failed. When I took it to a competent repair tech, the laundry list of how poorly this machine was constructed actually damaged my chipset and video card. I was overcharged for dangerously poor work. $5k wasted, and notice how rhe owner only replies to positive reviews or tells other 1 stars they are wrong. Horrible customer service.
Original horror story: Whatever you do, don't give these people your money. I ordered a machine to be custom built by this company, and it has been a comedy of errors. I sent my business manager over to pay the $3,500 on the deposit for a custom $5K machine for my business, and my business manager gets to tolerate the ordering agent (Virginia) being rude; we should have taken that as a sign and taken our business elsewhere. I had hoped it wasn't indicative of their service, but boy was I wrong. Three weeks go by without a word from them. No updates, nor any progress reports. After contacting them and asking for the status of my build (after the completion date had come and gone with no word), Virginia flippantly replied "I'll get you an answer by EOB". Then nothing all weekend. 3 days later (at 10pm Sunday night) I get an email that says "Your parts have been on back order for two weeks and we're waiting on stuff to come in..." No communication, no asking me to pick replacement parts when the issue was know weeks before... just "We've been waiting on parts to come in for weeks, but I've been trying every day". I spoke to the manager about poor communication, to which little has been done, and after repeated emails asking for a new rep (and still getting emails from Virginia), I get another email explaining how all the parts STILL aren't in and the build has to be "tweaked", resulting in the design of the cooling system for the machine to be altered (along with the Virginia's email response of "I ordered parts without your consent to add to the machine"). She even copied her boss's previous response of "I told you to consult him before just going ahead and doing it..." into the email where she explained how she ordered more fans (RGB fans that are now connected to no controller, so I can't turn them off without unplugging them)... without my approval, and apparently without her boss's approval either.
Two weeks overdue, and it finally gets finished. When I finally get the call to go pick it up, I attempted to schedule a time the next day during business hours where I could come pick up the machine, to which the sales person Justin replied "Well, I wasn't really planning on hanging out that long tomorrow, but you can come and get it today." I drop what I was doing to go get my machine, get it home, and it's configured so poorly I had to re-configure my BIOS to prevent the machine from crashing when I load any RAM heavy application. They also forgot to install the virus software I paid for, because the only kind they offer has to be monitored by their staff. After all this and I get it back to my office, and three days later I'm still fixing what should have been right the first time. It's good I know what I'm doing, or I'd have a very nice paperweight that could read email between random Windows crashes. I'm so disgusted with this company the only reason I'm providing a single star is because it won't let me leave zero. Awful customer care.
TL/DR: If you need them to fix your machine, they'll probably do a decent job if you have the deeper wallet to be overcharged and time to kill waitingforthem to get back to you at their leisure. If you need them to build you a high-dollar custom machine: go to iBuyPower.com or BCS Computing and save yourself a lot of time, money, and stress. read more
