"Simply the best computer I had ever have. Easy to customize your dream pc with their website, and just sit and wait for it to arrive in about 2 and 1/2 weeks. Runs right out of the box and it is day and night compares to my old Dell. Customer service is very friendly and curtious. I would buy from them again."
"The rating is MOSTLY due to the OS; Vigor has tried but so far..well, I'll let the reader decide. September: system arrived within time promised;SLI did not work;some other issues; packed it up and sent it back. Second system arrived: Vigor had not updated Windows- I tried; corrupted OS;Vigor walked me through reinstalling OS,drivers, etc.; then, games would not work; again, reinstalled OS, drivers, etc; system seemed ok; Win 7 came out, tried to upgrade, OS corrupted; reinstalled OS (lost all game data from 4 years-forgot to back up this time); couple weeks pass, tried to update Vista, OS becomes corrupted, have to reload OS; w8 a few weeks, tried to update to Win 7, again system is frozen. So far, Vigor has been great but this is not what I paid for.Will be calling again to get help in getting my 2k plus paperweight back working.I do not blame Vigor for the OS issues however, my system issues have been what they have been."
"Vigor has impressed me with their quick & polite responce to my order. Days after my original order, I asked to upgrade a few parts on this awesome looking laptop that I've ordered for my wife as a birthday present. Between, not totally knowing what I'm doing, and trying to sneak in this order without my wife knowing, has been a little challenging. That is why I changed some components on my order & Vigor was more than happy to make the changes. Can't wait to see it peform. Dave"
"If I had to choose one word to describe my experience with Vigor Gaming, it would probably be "amazing".
I did a fair amount of research before deciding which builder to go with. Vigor's prompt and ridiculously detailed responses to my questions, and their willingness to help me pick parts for my system based on what I needed to do made the decision pretty easy.
Anthony spent probably more than an hour on the phone with me while we hammered out all the details. He remained friendly and helpful throughout the entire conversation, despite my endless barrage of questions.
I just received the system we configured, and it is up and running right now. I cannot even begin to tell you how perfect it is. After dealing with Vigor I know I got exactly the best system for my needs and will have the longevity I desired.
I have already and will continue to recommend Vigor to anyone looking for a custom gaming system!"
"I purchased an Atlantis from Vigor. The ordering process was very easy and they offer a vast selections. Shipping time is just as promised and packaging was tremandous. When I received the package, it looked like UPS took it to a WWF match and upon openning the package, I was surprised to find another box inside with no damage whatsoever. Anyway, after I plugged in everything, the notebook turned on without any issue. I had it for a few months now and it had been great, especially when I am playing WOW. I highly recommend this company to whomever looking for a new computer."
"Im still waiting to recieve my VIGOR Gaming Artourous laptop. I placed my order August 3rd and it is now August 20th and I was told i would recieve or that my computer would be shipped by the 17th of August. I guess I am simply anxious to recieve my new computer, but their shipping / testing timeframe has passed and that makes me question the product before recieving it. They have their money, but i dont have my new computer. "
"Received my Vigor PC, worked perfectly for a week then power supply dead because of the power outrage happened in my area. I spent only about 5
minutes with their tech support and they cross shipped a new power supply to me. I have to say their tech support is Incredible. Now my computer works perfectly again.
Good price, Great quality and Customer service/Tech Support. I will recommend Vigor Gaming to all my friends.

"The waiting is the hardest part. I knew this when I ordered based on what I've read here. Any computer you buy is going to be as good as the sum of all it's parts no matter who you get it from. I chose Vigor, first, on what other comsumers have said and secondly, on the price... I could not match the low price per feature at any of the other gaming builders sites. The two of the other top names I was researching also had very happy customers, but if a could save a few hundred dollars then that's the way to go. I am glad I chose Vigor because I did save some money and got a high performance computer that exceeded my expectations. I didn't have a lot of correspondence with customer service, but what little I did their response was quick. The one time I called I didn't have to wait long and I was satisfied with the outcome. I went with the Force Recon T7N and from what I read on various websites about the configuration there may be a bit of overkill on the power, but even Tim the Toolman would have to agree there is no such thing as too much power, because you never know what your going to need down the road. It does everything I want it to do and it's a relief not to have to play with settings just to get a decent frame rate.
Thank you Vigor, I highly recommend this company and would have know problem buying from them again, hopefully they will still be around for the next one!"
"Great service. Excellent parts. Will buy again in future."
"Ordered a PC, wanted 2nd day. Got ground. After wrestling with UPS, I finally got the PC, however the video card is apparently broke.
However, after a simple walkthrough, a tech confirmed issue was video card, and a free upgrade is coming.
Not perfect, but cannot beat the customer service if things go sour."
"I had been planning for months to order a custom built computer and spent a great deal of time researching the different online shops. I narrowed it down to three stores and ultimately decided on Vigor because of their outstanding ratings here and because of their very competitive pricing.
The most difficult part of the process for me was having to wait for my computer, but that is no fault of Vigor's. I ordered on May 5th and the computer was delivered on May 28th. Chuck was a huge help prior to me placing the order. It was obvious that he knew what he was talking about and that he wasn't trying to upsell me. Also, he was honest about the shortage of GTX295s and convinced me to go with an SLI setup of GTX275s (which, according to online reviews, is a better and cheaper solution).
The good: The employees at Vigor are very friendly and knowledgeable, and when they don't know something they get someone who does. The computer itself is OUTSTANDING! Incredibly fast, stable (after an update; see below), and it's obvious that they took a lot of time with the wiring to make sure airflow was good. I am rocking incredible frame rates at the highest settings on all of the most demanding games.
The bad: The only issue for me was that my computer was not overclocked by Vigor. When I called about it, they said that I didn't request it which was a bit frustrating since there is not an option to request overclocking on their order page and they didn't ask if I'd want it when they called to confirm my order. I would have thought that overclocking the system would be understood particularly with the configuration I chose (ie the HUGE fan cooling the processor!). I was able to overclock the system myself, but I would have preferred them doing it for me since they're the experts.
I also experienced the dreaded "blue screen of death" four times with three different games, but that issue seems to have been resolved with a Windows update. :)
Overall, I highly recommend Vigor Gaming for their great work and value. You'd be hard pressed to find a company that delivers so much without overcharging.

"Wayne at Vigor PC customer service patiently guided me through the process of getting my computer up and running when it arrived with some issues. One of the reasons I chose Vigor was because of the incredibly high customer service rating they have and I was not disappointed. I don't know if there is another company with this amount of dedication to resolving customer issues. The computer runs perfectly and is a gaming monster. Many thanks to Vigor."
"Received my new "Delta Force AE" from Vigorgaming a few days ago. It arived on time and in perfect condition. I opened the side panel to have a look inside and was very pleased to see a clean and tidy interior.
The "Vigor Cooler Master CM 690 Screwless Chassis" is top notch. Very sleek and well built.
The system performs as good, if not better, then I hoped.
This is my first time dealing with VG and I'm well pleased. I wil buy from them again and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who's looking for a great gamming rig at a competitive price.
Good PC..Good Service..Good Prices = Happy customer.

"I was in the market for a new desktop PC and had looked at all the many other gaming PC providers via the web and couldnt get everything I wanted at an affordable price. After looking and configuring the various options on the Vigor site, I did as much research on Vigor as possible (since they were a new name to me) before finally placing an order. Vigor called me to confirm the order while also allowing me to make some minor changes. The computer shipped on time and I received it 3 days later. The system performed perfectly out of the box. I would recommend Vigor to anyone wanting the latest technology in a fully customizable gaming machine. A+++ "
"I ordered my T7N on 1/8/09 and promptly received a phone call confirming the order and received the computer 2 weeks later. I ordered from this company based on the reviews and a positive write up in a major magazine. Upon first start up, the computer display was distorted and I had to call customer service to find out what was going on. They were very knowledgeable and assisted me in popping out one of the video cards to send back to them. This being my 8th computer ordered from various companies since 1993, I expected something to go wrong - its just part of owning a computer. They sent me the new card before I even mailed the broken card and when I called they promptly helped me get it up and running. This is a small company and I would definitely recommend them based on the quality of the product and the customer service - and the computer itself runs fast as heck, a little loud, but I didn't feel like spending the extra money for water cooling."
