"Well built computer for a great price. Second computer I have bought from AVA. Got almost 4.5 years from first one. This computer was packed super nice and started right up out of the box. Would order another one again. Can barely buy the parts and assemble for what they charge for doing all the work."
"AVADirect provided me with a custom mATX at a great price and excellent quality. The packaging & shipping was great. And the salesperson was great is helping review my configuration. I almost feel the deal was too good given the high quality.
Ironically, I became aware of AVADirect.com through a e-newsletter from a competitor and the previous vendor that I ordered a custom PC from. The e-newsletter referred me to a CNET review comparing mATX products from several vendors including AVADirect.com.
This is by far the best custom PC experience I have had. Try AVADirect.com."
"I looked at a lot of different websites that offered to build gaming computers for a long time before I was actually ready to buy. AVADirect was the one I settled on due to fairness in pricing versus the quality of the parts and not to mention the sheer size of options available for everything that goes into a computer! As I did my research, part for part, some of those other websites just didn't have what I wanted and more often than not were way over priced.
AVADirect had everything I wanted and more! Once I ordered the computer, everything from there was a breeze. Upon arrival I saw that the installation was impeccable and the beast ran like a dream! I couldn't be happier! I would highly suggest purchasing a computer from AVADirect!"
" Several years ago, I wanted a new, hot, top-of-the-line gaming rig -- but I ain't rich. I specced out a good machine at Alienware that I couldn't afford, and then I searched around for a company that would use the same parts, but not the fancy Alienware chassis and all. And I found AVA Direct, where I saved about 800 bucks.
When it came time to upgrade, I got a new system in 06, and one in 09. I used to order component parts and build my own rigs, but I'm too old for messing with that. AVA Direct builds my rigs for me. I even told them how to partition my HDD, and what to name each one, so they could do the XP install for me, and I wouldn't have to re-do it after I got the machine. When an old motherboard blew out, I ordered the mobo & processor pre-assembled so I could slip it into the case without self-assembly of that.
I specced a PCIe SLI video card when they first came out. I didn't know what power supply I needed; I called in and they gave me to a tech -- NOT a salesman -- and he told me exactly. They also didn't have the ATI 800 card I wanted, so they bumped me to an 850 at no extra charge. Couple years later, I wanted another memory stick -- gawd knows I can't remember memory specs. I sent a message saying I wanted a stick that goes into the rig from order number blah blah blah, and they sent me a link to the pages where they sell the memory.
These Guys Rock All."
"Throughout the whole purchasing process, from the initial research, questions, ordering, and final delivery the interaction with AVADirect was quick, timely and to the point. The product was configured and delivered perfectly without any problems. I was very pleased with the great experience and would recommend AVADirect any time, especially for customers seeking high-end computer products."
"I did a lot of searching for a company to build my new custom laptop. after looking at all the different brands i settled on the Clevo X7200. When it came to the "who" i was shocked at how many companies there are that build. I settled on AVADirect for a couple reasons. They have the largest selection of components and I heard that their customer support was first class. If I had a question it was promptly answered and it was by the same person. I got what I wanted installed from AVADirect where other companies did not offer what I wanted and cost more. Thank you"
"Recently I decided it was time for a new computer. I am a gamer but a computer klutz. After much research I knew what parts I wanted, but I knew I couldn't build the system. I looked into several online boutique builders. AVADirect had the best selection of components, as well as an easy to use site. Soon I had my new machine on order. The few requests I had were easily passed along to the techs via their website, and everything was done as I asked. The computer was packed well and shipped quickly; it was in great condition. I caused myself a problem by messing up some Windows settings, but it was quickly sorted out with the help of AVADirect customer service. The techs and reps I dealt with were very helpful, polite and friendly. I love my new computer. I couldn't be happier with the service, and I would not hesitate to order from them again."
"After looking around the web at several online builders for a custom workstation/ gaming machine I found AVA direct to be the best place to get exactly what you want. In my case Joe Mundy helped me with any potential bottlenecks or conflicts with the case I chose. Every question was answered when I checked my email again. Even a question late in the game was noted without delaying the build. Shipping was faster than expected and the box arrived completely undamaged.
The computer itself is blazing fast, but well balanced for my needs. The care with the build is evident in the packaging down to the cable management. All the performance tests were in an organized folder on my desktop.
Overall, the communication, price, and what you want is what you get attitude of AVA Direct is why Ill be coming back in the rare event this rig ever becomes obsolete. If you haven't figured it out yet, I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a DIY, but built to order PC guaranteed by a reputable and skilled builder."
"Very good service though a little slow on processing. The shipping was very quick once it was sent and it was packed very well. The computer has worked very well and all problems were quickly solved with the customer support"
"Our experience with AVADirect has been exceptional. Their customer services and sales support has been prompt and professional and the product top-notch."
"Overall my experience in buying a computer with AVA Direct was great the customer service reps were quick to find an answer to any question i had, the website had a great layout and the customization options available are second to none.When my computer arrived i was pleased to see how clean it looked on the inside ties were used to bind cables out of the way giving it a very nice look."
"I used to assemble my own computers, but I got tired of it and bought a custom computer from AVADirect instead. I like how their site allows me to select components, even down to the CPU thermal paste.
The computer arrived exactly as ordered, and I was impressed with how cleanly the cables had been laid out. My new computer is smoking fast. It's a real pleasure to use."
"AVADirect combines good value with excellent service. Build quality is excellent, your custom designed computer arrives on schedule. Communication is excellent, they respond promptly to messages, and yes you can call and talk to them as well!"
"Great tech support, great sales service.prices ok.
Bring back layaway and stop the credit card companies"
"Configuring and orderig my system with AVA Direct was the best decision I could have made in regards of replacing my older computer. I was considering another online builder but due to AVA Direct providing the biggest selection of components, I decided to give them a try. After researching the various components that I wanted for my new system, I went through the online configuration page and pressed the place order button. Once I placed my order, a customer service rep was assigned to my build and he was there for me to answer questions and also to record any special instructions I had such as drive letter assignments, paging file location, etc. Not only did he ensure the build went without a hitch, but he also followed up once I received the system. That brings me to another point, the packaging. I was amazed at how well the system was packed. I had them remove the graphics card due to its's weight and they packaged it separately. Both the computer and card was package very professionally. Once I received the system, I placed the graphics card back in the machine and it fired up without any difficulties. It now has been running for 5 days and I have yet to have any difficulties. I highly recommend anyone wanting to custom build their own computer but doesn't have the time nor tools to ensure all devices are functioning correctly to order from AVA Direct. I will be ordering another replacement system in the near future and will return to AVA Direct. Excellent experience!!!"
"I would encourage anyone in the market for a custom computer (or even a basic desktop) to order from AVADirect. I recommend AVADirect without hesitation. On August 25 I placed an order for a custom gaming desktop through AVADirect's website. Their configurator is easy to use, offers significant variety and options for all components, and displays the model number for each component. This last point is important, as AVA's competitors do not list the model numbers; because AVA does, you know EXACTLY what component you're getting.
The prices are very reasonable - the markup is insignificant and well worth the professionalism of the build.
Communication with customer service is excellent. They provide a message system through the website and they're very responsive. They also always answer the phone and wait times on hold are short to nonexistent. Much better than the major manufacturers.
The system itself is flawless. It was double-boxed for protection, well packaged with packing peanuts and foam blocks, and comes with complete instructions. They literally give you the manuals and extra hardware for all your components, in addition to drivers.
The wait time between the date of order and shipping can be a bit long, but it's a fair price to pay for amazing custom builds. I even made two last minute changes (added two components) and they still only needed 1 extra day to complete the build.
They benchmark and test the PC for 72 hours before shipping, and the benchmark results are included when it arrives.
Overall, my experience with this company was amazing! They're responsive, professional, and incredible at what they do. I will definitely buy a computer from them in the future. I recommend them to anyone looking for a solid PC at reasonable prices. Simply: they're the best of the best, and their prices are lower than their competitors. "
