5/5
posted Feb-23-2011
My Dell Inspiron computer was stolen in December. I had a $500 deductible with my home owner's insurance, so I had to scrape together the money for a new computer and they would reimburse me. Meanwhile I used an older computer with 256 mbs of ram and onboard video that couldn't play most of my movies. I spent alot of time online comparing prices, getting myself updated on computing 2011. I found one site that told you how to build your own computer. I'm not a hard-core geek, but I figured I could do it. The site was an excellent guide for what goes into a computer and the guy was specific about why one kind of memory was better than another, or what to look for in a power supply, chassis, hard drive, the works. So I made up a list of what my dream computer would have in it. I went to newegg, tigerdirect, amazon, ebay.....I hit every place Google came up with, one of which was Radioactive PC. I configured and re-configured, shopped around some more.
Well, they emailed me! That impressed me alot and I gave them a call late one Friday or Saturday night with some questions about shipping. I had to leave a message, but I got a call back ten minutes later. I got my questions answered, but I was still shopping. A few more calls and emails and I decided to go with Radioactive PC. I was in touch with the man building my computer through the entire process. It was while my PC was on the workbench that Intel released the news of a flaw in some of their chips. So the people at Radioactive gave me a rundown of my options. I wanted a Sandy Bridge CPU so much and they were just fantastic to work with. They had already figured out some workarounds if I wanted to stick with the Sandy Bridge, which I did. Turns out my processor wasn't one of the recalled chips. Everything in it has been strenuously tested and passed with flying colors. I've been in seventh heaven since my new pc arrived.
If you're in the market for a new computer, there's nowhere else to go. I've got a quality piece of craftsmanship sitting here. I'm one of many very satisfied customers and just had to spread the word! Plus I got a way awesome T-shirt :)It's too bad I can only give them 5 stars because they are way up beyond that.
