Ratings:

Shipping 10/10: I ordered my PC and got it WAY faster than I imagined I would. Took 5 days to ship! Packaging was excellent will be used when transporting it anywhere now.

Gaming 9/10: Gaming performance is great. I have been playing borderlands mostly in anticipation of the second one. But i have played crysis 1 and 2 as well as the graphics killing metro 2033. In crysis 2 I can play max settings at over 40 fps avg and metro is the only game yet that i need to adjust below max settings in order to play at a "comfortable" framerate (for me average 45+)

Customer service 10/10: I will have an update when there is a problem. I have not needed to use customer service for much more than a few simple config questions. The questions were answered in a way that made sense and where extremely fast. One of my emails resulted in a phone call to me within 3 mins of sending the email. Test it yourself.. its impressive.

Community 10.1/10: that is all that needs to be said. Everyone on here has been very helpful.

Overall quality 10/10: Nothing was wrong with it on arrival, it is FAST! Great processing speeds and great gaming visuals. Everything about this PC is great. One minor start up glitch in week one, but nothing since. The noise level is minimal and has great ventilation. Even with the fan all the way up it is not too bad i have it at about 80% and it seems good. The only thing i would change about this PC is I would make it 12g ram. Its by no means bad but I would have rather payed the extra 50.



I will add more as people have questions. Feel free to ask away    

Congrats on the great rig.

Awesome! Thank you for taking the time to post your review and pictures!

Congratulations, that's an awesome PC. Have you played any games like call of duty on it?

Originally posted by phaneufs 4head I have not played any Call of Duty (not my thing), however i have played quite a few games on it in the past 5 months so if you have any questions for other games i could let you know, such as far cry 3, guild wars 2, both portals, both crysis games, metro, and a few others.

I was hoping you could provide some details about how your rig runs with guild wars 2. Specifically, the settings you use (in game and resolution on your monitor) as well as the fps you observe in the game and also in WvW specifically. I am considering a similar rig and your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Congrats! Nice rig, review and especially great pictures!
