Good rating,but only 24 reviews?I'd prefer more than that.And their prices are considerably higher than others I've looked at,for the kind of system I'm looking for,it would cost me hundreds more there.

JNCS has a 2.50 on return or replacement and that would scare me...

[michaels39]

Yeah,I saw that,that's why they're at the bottom of my list.KC seems the best of the lot,though their prices are higher,though not outrageous like Falcon or Alienware.

Falcon im sure makes GREAT PC's, but come on there price's are retarded...

[michaels39]

Yeah,I priced a system there using the exact same components that I used with places like Directron,Monarch,and Envision,and the cost was over a $1000 more!And that's with a plain case,if you want a fancy paint job,you'd have to empty your bank account.The same is true with Alienware,except without the quality of work and customer support.And now that DELL bought them out,that will probably get worse.
