BuyXtremeGear any good for systems?

I want to build my own PC but I just saw how low XtremeGear's prices were and I checked out the website and then it turns out they also will assemble a system for you and their prices are very cheap and honest, roughly the same price as if I were to build it, but I'm skeptical as to how good will this system be. Is XtremeGear a good company to go with for building your PC.

They have a fairly good rating here on RR
http://www.resellerratings.com/seller7227.html

I also have bought parts from them before and I was satisfied, though not impressed.

Have you checked all the prices of you're items on Newegg.com. You get more personal satisfaction with assembling a computer yourself.

btw what do you want in your system if you don't mind my asking?

I got the Corsair mem in my system from them. I think they're a safe bet.

At Home

It looks like they may be the same company as (or at least related to) CyberPower, Inc. They operate out of the same physical address in California.

Well first hand experience told me they build to fast and there support is terrible. I know someone who bought one and it has been a nightmare ever since. All sorts of problems, no back-up discs. They load so much crap on the computer that even at 2.8GHz you would think you were running 1/2 the speed. The case work (cables, wires, etc) is terrible. They use plastic tie straps to hold any lights they might put in the case. Nothing is orginized. The computer just did not impress me at all.
