"GREAT company!!! I received an amazing PC that can play practically any game I want at high setting's with no problem. Along with this the costumer service is great, they usually contact you back within a day."
"Excellent customer support and company overall. They offer a variety of computers and there will always be someone to assist you. I highly recommend."
"Ironside provided me with an amazing PC built exactly how i wanted it. You can tell they put effort and care into making it. Would highly recommend to everyone"
"I ordered a new PC and I could not be happier. My new computer is everything I wanted and I love that they have both Intel and AMD options. If/when I upgrade to a new computer I will definitely buy from Ironside again. I did not buy the top tier PC but i got more than my moneys worth.

"made it easy to build the computer and find parts to compare "
"Price is a little higher than building it myself. Also, the website is a bit slow."
"The website was user friendly and easy to use. My boyfriend is very excited to receive his custom built desktop. "
"TLDR:
Best combined Price/Quality/Performance/Warranty out there, whether looking at the big PC makers or custom build companies.
Quality off-the-shelf/retail parts instead of proprietary and/or poor quality generic parts you'd wind up with from many competitors. Good variety of case and parts options. Reasonable price (imho better money spent) vs. not just competitors, but building yourself.
Solid honest sales (ask for Jared, he's wonderful!) and customer support service.

My gaming "battle station" consists of two PCs and three monitors. My primary PC has been what is now a 4.5 year-old Ironside custom PC. I haven't upgraded the hardware beyond newer, larger SSDs because I haven't needed to (I buy admittedly "overkill" PCs so they hold up longer for my needs). While it's held up beautifully, its new role will be as the replacement for my 8 year-old secondary PC, and I expect it to last at least as long.
I wanted to revisit Ironside for my new primary PC, but felt obligated to check my options. I looked at pre-built and custom offerings from large companies and small. As was the case over four years ago, I determined Ironside was THE best when taking into account quality, performance, price AND support.
After I "built" my desired Ironside computer online (I chose the Intel Iron "Forge a PC" option), I went even further and used partpicker.com to compare building the same machine myself. Not surprisingly, the end result left Ironside's PC costing slightly more, but that was from a sheer parts perspective. Zero sales tax (at least to my state) and Ironside's time and labor (to acquire, install, professionally cable, and test everything) easily erased that difference.
On TOP of that, they offer a standard 5 years labor/3 years parts warranty, when a 3/3 warranty can easily cost an extra $300 elsewhere.
I had a few hardware and aesthetics questions regarding the build of my new PC, so I placed a call and wound up speaking with Jared. As a repeat customer, I already knew to expect a gaming PC enthusiast, yet I was still incredibly impressed.
Jared was able to knowledgeably compare and contrast the various part options I was torn between. He didn't try to push upgrades, instead letting me know how much of an upgrade/necessity one possible option was vs. another (for my build and purposes), or even if it was worth consideration for my build from a purely aesthetic standpoint.
After our discussion, I wound up changing case colors, choosing a more expensive CPU cooler (relatively small performance improvement but also better aesthetics), and swapped to a cheaper video card (that I'd never even considered) that actually offered better performance than the more expensive cards I'd been looking at.
As we discussed my build part-by-part, Jared even made multiple trips to physically examine items we discussed, to see how they would look together. Jared went out of his way to do this without my asking. He could easily have just guessed, lied or said he didn't know. He even apologized for the brief time I spent on hold each time, when the wait was caused by his willingness to go out of his way to help me!
If I hadn't already determined to buy an Ironside computer, Jared would have clinched a sale; I hope Ironside knows what a gem they have in him!
I would not hesitate to recommend Ironside to anyone looking for a quality computer at a reasonable price!"
"After paying for faster shipping and assembly, I had to contact them myself to find out that my product was not only delayed, but they were not going to refund me for the money specifically given to them so that it can get to me faster. I was not contacted or notified before or after that conversation. I'm sure I will love the product, but the customer service is lacking here. They clearly just disregard the enthusiam of their customers."
"First time buying a computer and was looking to find an easy place to do so. Heard a lot of great things about Ironside so I went through here, very easy simple all the way through. Lots of options for everything I might need. Heres to waiting for my computer with a lot of anticipation."
"The Ironside site is extremely easy to navigate and find what I want. Placing the order is similarly easy, which then makes it easy for me to enjoy what I purchase! Keep up the great work!"
"Very Fast Setup and Delivery "
"Thank you for helping me obtaining my new computer!"
"I bought an Origin PC back in 2011. I was needing a new PC. After browsing Origin and other PC manufacturing sites, I came across yours. Your website is the easiest to use, and you offered the best price for my build."
"the price of your peripherals are more way to high compared to amazon."
"I got denied through financing and it did not let me change any info or reapply so i had to pay in full but it denied my card and had to go through paypal. Just take my money."
