5/5

posted May-14-2004

I began researching this purchase in January. I live in California. One Saturday night I sent queries to several custom computer manufacturers, including Tantus, in New Jersey. I expected answers on Monday. Got a reply from Ed Borden at Tantus that night! We discussed options, and continued to communicate for the next three months, while I waited for a large fee I had earned, to arrive. (I am a solo attorney, involved in a lot of civil litigation.) He was knowledgeable, and prompt. I ordered a Lian Li case he did not usually stock so that delayed shipping a couple of days, but it still arrived very quickly. I am very pleased with the finished product.
The only thing I would do differently is have them pack the inside with bubble wrap that needed to be removed by me upon receipt. The cross-country shipping seemed to cause the main wire bundle to bounce around a lot, which disconnected a couple of plugs (so I had to open the case anyway). However, that is a small matter. Overall the computer was well-packed, and very well-built.
I can say without hesitation that none of the other vendors I contacted communicated as well as Mr. Borden at Tantus. I was a little apprehensive about buying from someone so far away, but after this purchase, I fully expect to buy from them again.
I bought this product for my law office, not for gaming, and it is everthing I had expected. I am confident it will pay for itself in short order. Tantus does business the way you would like to see your neighborhood computer shop do business.
