"I'm writing this review on the best computer I ever had, and that is saying a lot. I just can't say enough about this company. First of all, this is (again) the best computer I ever had, and I've owned dozens, literally. I've also built computers myself for a living, and know quality work when I see it. So I say again, this is the best computer I ever had, period.

As for their service: wow. A month and a half after I bought the computer, the power source failed. I emailed (on another computer) the fine folks in customer service at TastyComputers, and within 24 hours they had FedEx'ed me a brand new and BETTER power source (the original was a 650w power source; they replaced it with an 800w power source, at no extra charge), along with careful instructions on how to remove the other and replace the new power source as well. I had my computer up and running again faster than if I'd had their service people come over and do it for me. I was VERY impressed with their customer service; better than any I've found anywhere else, in fact.

Thanks, folks, and I'd recommend TastyComputers to anyone who wants the best computer they'll ever own.

"After spending many hours online researching computer vendors, I decided to email Russell Sullivan at tastycomputers.com to ask a few questions regarding a prospective build. I liked the logical layout of his site and the fact I could carefully select each component for my new system. Initially, I was somewhat reluctant to deal with a "small company" rather than sticking with a giant manufacturer. Well, it turns out Russell Sullivan is a professional who really knows his stuff, and he provided me with more quality customer service than any mega-manufacturer ever had. After a week of pre-sale email correspondence, he had courteously answered all my questions and expressed a willingness to answer more. Once I ordered my new computer, it took a little longer than I expected because I was used to the way the big manufacturers do it. Rather than taking parts off the shelf or slapping parts together and throwing the computer in a box in the shortest possible time, Russell uses brand new parts and takes care to ensure the system is stable and trouble-free before he ever ships it. As he put my new system through a testing/burn-in phase, he sent email updates so I was never out-of-the-loop. In addition, he updated all drivers and the OS so everything was current when I received it. As for my new computer, I chose a Flava-X38 with a Gigabyte 3D Mars brushed aluminum full tower with blue lighting. It's a very nice looking tower that is more impressive than any other system I've ever owned. With the aluminum case and several fans, my computer runs very cool while remaining quiet in operation.
Bottom Line- Dealing with Russell Sullivan and tastycomputers.com was a pleasant experience, and I am a very satisfied customer who wouldn't hesitate to order again."

"I purchased a computer from Russell at Tasty Computers earlier this year. Specifically for video editing this year. I must admit when I saw the name of his company I was a little sceptical but after a few E-mails back and forth about specifics about my system I was convinced that I made the right choice about choosing to purchase from him.He explained to me component by component what would work best and why. To my suprise some of the components that he suggested were not the most expensive but were the ones that would work the best for my situation. I would not hesitate to buy another computer from him when the time comes. I would definately rate his company a 10.

"After a particularly bad off-the-shelf computer purchase, I asked my computer consultant for a recommendation for a replacement--that is where I learned about Tasty Computers. I recommend that everyone who wants a great computer talk to Russell Sullivan at Tasty Computers. Russell begins with an assessment of what is needed, and then he makes his recommendations for what should go into the box. This is the best computer I have ever owned--quiet, fast, well-cooled, beautifully constructed and, best of all, every part worked correctly right out of the box. However, the benefits didn't stop with the computer--Russell is a real person who stands by his company's computers, answers all questions promptly and fully. If you want a fully tested, reliable computer built to fit your needs, contact this little company. Although Tasty is in Colorado and I'm in Oregon, I am confident I have a friend and a resource in the business--just an e-mail away. M. E. in Portland, OR"

"I had two PCs die on me in October. In the past, I have built my own systems, but this time I did not have the time to research the “latest and greatest” products. I was referred to Tasty Computers by a coworker and friend who is also a security engineer. The owner, Russell, was a breath of fresh air. He understood my concerns and assured me he would build the best system for my needs. He also gave me advice on the respective merits of AMD and Intel. He understood that I did not care for Norton AntiVirus and recommended ESET’s NOD32 AntiVirus. My husband and I have customized Tapa965s with the Intel Core Duo Processors. This company went above and beyond customer service. Our units are performing flawlessly, and the NOD32 antivirus program is far superior to Norton. We highly recommend Tasty Computers"

"I purchased a BISTRO965 system with 3 SATA 320GB internal Hard drive and 1 external 320GB removable Hard drive and 2GB memory. I received it a little late due to it having to be re-tested and FEDEX being closed SUNDAY and MONDAY. I love the system and have had no problems setting it up and configuring a wireless HP all in one printer to it. Also had it configured to wireless LAPTOP and another PC."

"TastyComputers assembled a Tapa CPU to my specifications. It works great and is very fast. What was outstanding about the company was the incredibly fast turnaround time, the warmth and personal service and the aftercare to help me retrieve essential lost files. Joyce E Miller, Gresham, OR"

"Absolutely incredible service, from initial inquiry to placing the order to special arrangements for shipping to follow-up after installation. No wonder this company has a perfect rating and inspires such loyalty. I don't expect to need technical support but am entirely confident that any problems I have will be responded to with alacrity and impeccable customer service."

"After careful research I ordered my new computer from Tasty Computers. I could not have asked for better service. I ordered on Sept 4th and assembly began on the following Thursday. The system was completed as promised and shipped out on Sept 12th with a delivery date of Sept 15th. It arrived on time and started up perfectly. Further, when I ran into an issue installing a second HD, Russell was ready with an easy answer by the end of that day. Further, He has provided pleasant, courteous support through the entire purchase, build and delivery process. He kept me in the loop as the system was being assembled and apprised me of any issues as they arose. I could not have asked for better service and would recommend this store to anyone who is seeking a high quality, custom built to order system. "

" When looking for a computer, the first thing that comes into mind is where do I buy it and how about the quality of it? So, being a member of CreativeCow and hanging around the Sony Vegas forum, I read about TastyComputers from my friends and how much they liked their new system. Plus, reading the comments really convinced me on purchasing one. Russell at TastyComputers made ordering very easy for me. He's very polite and made it fun. The great thing about ordering from TastyComputers is that whenever you need to talk to someone, your talking to someone from the United States where you can understand them. During the ordering process, Russell keeps you updated on the progress of your new computer and gives you the tracking number so you know when you'll get it. I can proudly say that I'm 100% happy with my mean machine. My Creative GigaWorks S750 sound system is the greatest. My wife tells me we now need a bigger house for the sound. Goodbye Dell with your Intel and I broke free with the 3D AURORA AMD. I'm looking forward to doing future business with my friend Russell at TastyComputers.
