Good off the shelf components, bad service and build.by marzvt - October 15, 2008
Pros: System was fast when I got it working, for the brief period it was working.
Cons: The system was not working when I got it. then after I fixed it. It fried its motherboard after week .
Review:
When I got the system and plugged it in it beeped at me and no video came up. When I opened the case, a fan was dangling around in the case and the video card was unplugged. I put everything where it was supposed to be and the system worked fine for a week and a half. Then it died, the motherboard was fried.
They told me it would be at least a 14 day turnaround if I sent it back, or if they sent me a new motherboard, it would be 4 days and they wouldnt warrentee anything.
