I will try.  Not sure if I can do as good of a job as you did but I will try.  Love the pictures you took that show from the time you received your package(s) to when your system was up and running.

Yeah, good luck if you end up getting a new system.  I am SO excited about the one that is being built for me right now!  It definitely wasn't cheap, that's for sure!  But I mean, computers and gaming are my passion.  Some people save their money for vacations or concerts or sporting events... I save my money so when the time comes I can buy a big, bad powerful gaming computer!  Plus I have always been the type who is more willing to pay a little bit more now and get a very good quality product than save a little and end up with something that is low-mid quality or has a pretty high risk of failing on me in some way.  So that is why I went all out for my new computer.  These are my specs:  Case: Cooler Master HAF XPower Supply: CORSAIR 1000W SLI Ready CrossFire ReadyProcessor: Intel Core i7 970 3.2GHz Six-CoreMotherboard: ASUS P6X58D Premium X58 Intel Motherboard USB 3.0 SupportMemory: CORSAIR XMS3 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600Hard Drive: 160GB Intel SSDSecond Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 1.5TB 7200 RPM 32MB CacheOptical Drive: SATA 24x DVD dual layer burner w/ lightscribe Network Card: Internal network card Graphics Card: EVGA GTX 480 1536MB 384-bit GDDR5 Sound Card: use motherboard's sound card Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit MonitorFREE!

Not only is it everything working perfectly right out of the box, but it exceeds my expectations which were high to begin with. Before I decided on the system I wanted, Josef, the owner, was very helpful (phone) in providing feedback as to which system would likely satisfy my needs/requirements. He very patiently listened to my concerns & offered suggestions for various components. Not only do his suggestions seem to be very effective but actually ended up saving me money.I realize that some problems could arise over time but, based on my experience with Josef, I have complete confidence that Stealth Machines will resolve them for me.Regardless of the cost factor this is the best business transaction I have ever had. Josef is an absolute pleasure to work with. I will be recommending Stealth Machines to many people from now on.

Once again, the communication has been excellent with my order.  I anticipate receiving the computer mid next week and will continue to update this thread.Regards,Gary Wed, 16 Dec 2009 14:03:09 +0000 http://stealthmachines.com/quality/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=182#182 182@http://stealthmachines.com/quality/forums Topic: My Buying Experience Message: Update:I continue with my positive experiance with Stealthmachines.  As many of you who are buying computers for the holidays know or will soon find out, getting high end graphics cards is quite a challange.  This is especially true with the ATI Radeon 5800 series.  The reason I selected this card is to have a future-proof machine capable of handling DirectX 11 games.  Currently only ATI Radeon offers a DirectX 11 compatible card.To Josef's credit, he contacted me after receiving my order and indicated he may have difficulty getting a 5800 series card and he offered several choices from NVIDIA.  I asked him to continue trying for the ATI product and the good news is he was successful!  All of my parts are in house and my computer will be ready will in advance of the Christmas holiday.  So for those keeping track, I placed my order on 12/1/09 at 11:31 am EDT.  As of 12/9/09 my parts are now all in (including the hard to get 5800 series ATI video card).  The communication I've had with Josef has been excellent.  I am looking forward to a terrific machine under the tree for the kids.Gary Wed, 09 Dec 2009 20:24:25 +0000
