5/5
posted Mar-18-2011
I put off buying a new PC as long as I could and finally time came. I didn't want an off the shelf unit that I'd end up modifying to meet my needs or get surprised by finding it contained proprietary parts I'd be stuck with. After a month of looking I decided on Stealth Machines. I wanted a killer machine and I had a fairly good budget to spend. I spoke to Josef at length both before I committed to buying from Stealth Machines and once I decided they would get the order. Even though I had a lot to spend Josef still advised me on what to buy that gave the performance I wanted but cost less than what I wanted cost. He guided me to a machine that was far more than what I expected by advising me on where to spend the money. I got more performance-wise and still stayed within my budget. Service? At the last minute a newer, faster version of the video cards I had ordered became available and Josef immediately contacted me about them and gave me an opportunity to upgrade, which I did. I wish I could meet him in person and thank him for this superb machine I'm writing this on. The PC itself is unbelievable. I do a lot of video and audio stuff but I also am a gamer. This beast chews through the most demanding games with every setting on maximum and it never slows, stutters, or does any of the things that seem a part of gaming on a PC. It's been on 24/7 since I got it and it has been flawless. It does everything well. I'm retired so it gets a serious workout for many hours every day. It arrived securely packed showing a lot of thought and care there, too. The few mundane questions I had were answered quickly and clearly. My face hurts from smiling so much! All I can say is I can't say enough about Josef, Stealth Machines and the Shadow computer system they built for me. I'd never shop anywhere else for a computer system.
ADDITION: Over the past week I installed about a dozen and a half games, among them the original Crysis. It's still considered a PC humbler. I ran Crysis on this computer at 1600 X 1200 resolution with all the viseo settings maxed. It ran perfectly- no stuttering, no slow downs- just smooth as a movie playing. It is a truly magnificent looking game when run on a machine that can handle it! Admittedly, I haven't played all the way through it, just the first several sections. If I encounter any problems I will post back but I don't forsee anything this Stealh Machines masterpiece couldn't devour.
