Re: Going to buy a computer
Meh.
My personal experiance seems to differ from yours.
I had a friend who bought an Alienware rig and was hella pleased with the customer support. He had a fan fry out and they replaced it for him within 2 days.
I also don't know where this guy lives, so it's hard to make any good recomendations on local shops. Overall, I much preffer to deal with someplace down the street and the little shops usually offer up the best deals.
As I say... I was making that recomendation based on no knowladge of the customer. If he's a comp noob, then he's better off going overpriced with better support than doing a custom job that may give him headaches.
Side note: you REALLY have to watch it when you deal with some companies. A place that I'll not name but used to work for fried out 4 counterfit Asus motherboards during warm tests before the owner came into the shop and demanded that we "Stop testing, start installing".
I ended up getting an "enhanced" severance check when I quit.
