How accurate are these ratings??

I am considering buying a custom computer from a company and I checked out their ratings here--they are very high. I don't know anyone with one of these computers. How hard is it for a company to influence the rankings artificially? Can the rating be skewed upward? Thanks!

Check everywhere

LHH,

Before I placed my order with AW, I did lots of checking, I talked to friends who owned them, I read reviews in Mags, Forms and did a BBB search. I found them to be good so I order my computers. I suggest reading up from different places and make a wise decision.

As per the inflation of the rating, well, I don't believe it, but it could always happen. I get my computers in three weeks, if there is a problem with them, trust me, I will let it be known here.

I would say the ratings are accurate LHH, this site does a good job on making sure ratings are not inflated by the companies trying to cheat in that regard.

The ratings here are very acurate and well policed. I'm sure a few might get through every once in a while, but it would be quite tough for any company to inflait their ratings to the point where it could actually help them look better than they are.

What company are you thinking about buying from?

Puget Custom Computers

Just checking them out as I have not seen any of their computers in person and they have no online independent reviews I can find either. A lot of money to put down on the strength of a few forum listings and their website. But they are high in Reseller Ratings and I am leaning toward a liquid cooled SLI with them. I have absolutely no reason to not take them at face value just being cautious.
