Maingear is simply the best PC experience I've ever had from the purchasing process to set up and to the best part, gaming. Their machines are built with a sort of quality and care that's not known in the majority of current PC vendors.
I'd like to start with the purchasing process. I work in television and work upwards of 60 hours a week so receiving the rig was a huge concern for me because I would never be home at regular hours to receive it. I had to set up a Saturday delivery. The ordering process was painless in this regards. It took awhile for the computer from the initial ordering till I received it but after a quick call (which was promptly answered with hardly any wait time) I found out that they were waiting on some parts. No problem. I wanted to upgrade the video cards to ones they had in stock anyway–that process was quick and painless. On the week that my computer was to be finished and delivered, I called them and spoke with Will each time. I don't know if he's the only one answering their phones, but I feel that they're pretty on the ball about having the same person help you each time. This made it simple in that I didn't have to explain my situation over and over again. I was able to receive it on my first three day weekend in months and well, I spent the entire weekend on my new F131 :)
On to hardware, this part doesn't need to be longwinded. It's quite simple. I purchased the Super Stock option and made a few tweaks of my own. They say on the site that it would come screaming out of the box and it does. Long hours on the battlefields of err... Battlefield 3 with everything maxed out on a 27" monitor justifies this claim. The machine is a beast and the case is beautiful. There are no gaudy LED lights or bulgy, ostentatious curves. I appreciate this machine for its outer aesthetics and the nice Maingear logo gives me a sense of pride in my purchase. My only gripe is that I wish that I could've had the Maingear logo on the side of the case rather than the Super Stock logo, but I feel they would've accommodated had I thought to ask.
Since college, I've been using Macs (and I still do for my work), but now I have a beastly gaming rig. Thanks Maingear for restoring my confidence in PCs and bringing me back to my first and most favorite hobby, PC gaming.
