Origin Genesis user reviews (Intel Core i7 920)

Pros Fast and definitely a benchmark crusher!

Cons Price, Price, Price.

Summary I've been looking around researching companies to find a good one to build my computer, and Origin was one of the companies I considered. After comparing them to a multitude of companies, they came out to be on top of one of the most expensive. Now, I'm now trying to be cheap, I planned to buy a very high end gaming computer, but when they came out to be around $800 more then other vendors for the same exact thing, including the case, I definitely had to look the other way. I ended up using another company Ironside Computers to build my computer, and while there were much cheaper then Origin, their quality from what I've seen with my computer seems to be excellent, and I love that every email I sent was literally answered within 15 minutes. I definitely don't feel like I sacrificed anything going with Ironside, and now I can use the extra money to upgrade to a nice new SSD I've been eyeing. :P

Pros The machine is incredibly powerful, nimble, and swift. Benchmarks are awesome...but would you expect anything less from a $5000 machine?

Cons While the Genesis is impressive it is no marvel of engineering or ground-breaking technology. It is simply as good as the sum of it's parts. Nothing more, nothing less. I'm no big fan of the ATI graphics cards, but that's a whole other story.

Summary The bottom line is that this machine costs as much as a decent used car. Any savvy builder with a little wit could easily build a comparable machine for less than half of the Genesis's asking price. If you have money to burn this is your machine. Some people just enjoy paying retail.

Pros 10 character minimum

They fixed it. Now it is $5,000 rather than the $595 that the microphone would cost.

Pros Lots of experience, all the best parts, will build whatever you want. Sweet cases and liquid cooling.

Cons Not cheap.
