GOT THE THRILL OF MY LIFE WHEN i FIRST SAW, SET-UP AND OPERATED MY NEW SYSTEM. TRHIS IS A FANTASTIC & IMPRESSIVE SYSTEM THAT, WHEN COMPARED WITH MY OLD SYSTEM, OPERATES AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT. THE CASE, COOLERMASTER HAF 932 IS SUPER. I HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM FOR FUTURE EXPANSION AND A COOLING SYSTEM THAT WILL HANDLE ANY EXPANSION. I RECOMEND AVA DIRECT TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR A CUSTOM BUILT GAMING SYSTEM, REPRESENTED BY A GREAT STAFF.AM I HAPPY? HE_ _ YES! ROBERT HUOT

The laptop I ordered is very fast, and exactly what I wanted. I had some problems with registering Windows, and customer support helped me out. Thanks AvaDirect

so all what i wanted to say here thanks AVA DIRECT and thanks to JOseph for helping me thro out my order to build such a KICK ASS PC  
 

I have nothing but good things to say about AVADirect. They have the best price on the item I bought. The e-mail notifications of my order status were very thorough and complete. I placed my order yesterday *evening* (7:30pm EDT) and had the item in hand 20 hours later. It just doesn't get any faster without using a TARDIS. I'm adding AVADirect to the places I regularly shop. =^)

I had a very good experience buying my new i7 computer build from AVA. Using this computer for freelance vfx work in Los Angeles area so it was also very important to me that it was packaged and padded well for shipping.  
The sales team was polite and helpful in advising me on choosing my hardware/software components. I always recommend buyers do research on the computer components themselves first but the team at AVA is knowledgeable and helpful configuring the right system.

Being for first new rig in several years actually and a cash-strapped student, I researched fairly heavily on different comp builders. Not only did I get a nearly top of the line computer for well under a grand (well, sans peripherals which I already had), but also a really solidly built and stable machine. I (fairly heavily) overclocked most parts in it with no problems, even using stock cooling. Customer service was helpful as well - when I had one small conflict in the specs I ordered, they took care of it quickly. This was one of the cheapest (excuse me, inexpensive) sites I found but performs up there with most of those fancy gaming-pc builders in my opinion without the fancy BS and frills to double the price.

Thank you to everyone at AVA for a flawless build. System is up and running beautifully. Expect business in the near future from me! Highly recommended!

Hello, i resently put together a computer system using Avadirects customization options, I'm a begginer when it comes to customizing computer systems. Within a few minutes Matt Slagle a tech sent us a message concerning my build and how it was outdated. To make a long story short, he set up a new customization option containing more then i thought i could get for about the same price, a big thanks to the guys at Avadirect, its a beast of a system and amazingly put together. Highly recommend this company.

Every aspect of this buying experience was top-notch. Service, knowledge, quality of product, and price were all as good as they could possibly be. I will be an AVA customer for life and will enthusiastically recommend them to everyone I know. Thanks AVA!!!

I needed a new video editing computer to work with high definition video. Although AVAdirect does not do turnkey editing systems I was able to configure my own on their website which met my needs with top of the line high performance components that should last for years. AVAdirect was very helpful in assiting me with my order when a soundcard and RAM I had choosen where not compatible with the MB. Although it took several weeks for delivery I understand that this is not like ordering from Dell who maintains an inventory. It is interesting to note that I purchased my first video editing computer from Dell in 1998 and it cost me about $1,600. The computer I had AVAdirect build with the best componets was also about $1,600 with much higher performance, storage, speed and capability.  
When the system arrived it was well packed and ready to go. All I had to do was hookup the keyboard, mouse and monitor cables. So far everything has worked great and I have been contacted by AVAdirect twice to see if everything is performing ok. I would definitely recommend them. Just remember it takes a while to build a great performing computer and be patient. AVAdirect has a great on-line tracking system to follow your computer build.

Awesome communication, great product and service at competitive rates! Will buy from them again!

I almost got a Dell to replace my old computer when its motherboard failed. But so many reviews of terrible service but good machines got me looking for other options.  
 
Researched many custom builders including reading many reviews here about various companies. I did some comparisons and various options. I have 5 22-24" monitors (one on a Y adapter) so need two dual good video cards. I have never played any game but serious business user.  
 
I was at first a bit overwhelmed by the options with AVA. I researched every component and came up with a system I thought was the best.  
 
Than I got in touch with Joe Munder. Extremely helpful and made some other suggestions. I researched and concluded he was absolutely right and took all his recommendations.  
 
Everything was in stock and since I was going out of town for almost two weeks having it arrive within a week of my return was perfect. I had spent days transferring from backups to my laptop (a Dell with very few problems but next time would like at AVS systems).  
 
Everything worked perfect, very securely packed, left open cables so I easily was able to add 2 of my old VelociRaptor 300gig drives from old computer so I now have 3 of the same drive.  
 
Joe could not have been more helpful and although it took a week to reinstall zillions of programs and lots of software headaches all the pre-installed software and WinXP Pro worked fine. Never been able to get IE8 to work on old system but no problem on new (I use Firefox 99% but sometimes have to use IE).

AVA did a wonderful job in responding to all my messages and concerns through their message center. I was able to get a response usually within an hour! The computer arrived and has been great for the first week! I could not find any problem that could not be resolved through constant communication with my AVA salesperson.

I am very pleased with my new PC from AVADirect. The build quality is excellent. The cabling is a work of art!  

Great customer service, helpful advice, but a little slow in processing. It took a month to get my order. The system was well built, professionally wired, and I'm very happy with it. I purchased a barebones system. I would highly recommend them.
