- I would strongly advise anyone bying a system from them , not to!!!
- I bought one a year and a half ago. In the first year I went through
- two monitors, two video cards, and am on my second power supply. The
- people are very nice and helpful, but you wait over a week or more for
- any parts. I was able to upgrade to a better video card the second
- time for the difference plus a "restocking fee" of $30 to restock a
- broken card. I purchased a 486-33. The people I talk to swear by their
- 386's but I swear at my 486.
