JNCS?

I just bought my second rig from these guys:
http://www.boldata.com/
Bought my son an AMD/nVidia gaming rig from them last month and it rocks. Great customer service. Get this. The video card has a free copy of Rainbow Six included in the box in the box from XFX video. They passed that on to us. The install CD was defective . . . had a crack in the plastic and would not read the disc. Even though it was not their product they replaced it with a Far Cry CD instead, a newer and better game. They are still looking for another copy of Rainbox Six anyway but it came from XFX and they have no control over it. No problems with the rig. It's perfect.
Previously bought from them in Sept. 2002 and am using that PC at this moment. Small company that cares.

Kind of wished i had stayed with them now, but the reviews i had read just gave me cold feet...

They don't have the selection of components I'm looking for,in fact,they don't even mention the brand name of most of the components in their systems.The best vid card they offer is a 7800 GT,no brand name given,(if they're XFX,I'm not impressed,that brand hasn't gotten good reviews).Same thing with the motherboard,no make or model mentioned.I guess if you're looking for a basic gaming machine they might be ok,but not for a cutting edge system.

Who are you talking about buddy?

"Who are you talking about buddy?"
He is talking about BOLData. If you E-mail them they will tell you the brand of components they are using. They will install another particular brand of most components if you request. The case on my new system is an Enermax Super ATX tower. The motherboard is an Asus A8N-E. They seem to use quality components with known brands. The systems are completely non-proprietary and fully upgradeable. Anyway, just a suggestion for you.

I have purchased 2 systems from Cyberpower. They use standard components you can buy anywhere so why not.

The 1st unit stopped working in the 1st week and took 2 weeks to fix - we did it they sent parts.

The 2nd unit died in a month and the power supply they sent back was the wrong one. They do not respond very fast, after leaving 4 messages we still did not receive a call back. We purchased a power supply from another vendor.

If this is a critical computer - buy it from someone else!!

We ordered in January this year, and they sent me one completely wrong order.
It was totally different components and parts that we received...

Stay away from them....just save yourself from the troubles...
