"I searched all over the 'Net looking for a longer cable for my Koolance water cooling system. (Koolance only sells 3' lengths). They were just nowhere to be found.
I then went to a few places that make custom cables to see if they would make one for me. All said "no" - the cable was just too unusual and they didn't even have the heads for it.
I finally found a similar power extension cable at performance-pcs.com, and seeing their notice that "custom services are always available", I sent them an email to see if they could make it. This was after 5PM, too.
Within 20 minutes I got an email back from them saying they could make the cable, and quoted me a very good price, too - the same price for a stock power extension cable, (which will not work for the Koolance). I was floored - I was expecting I would have to pay dearly for this cable.
They did the smart thing and asked for a couple of pictures to make sure they had everything right, so I took a couple of digital pictures of the cable heads and emailed them.
The cable was made and shipped to me via two-day mail the very next day. I actually received it the day after.
The cable is very high quality: good solid wire, perfectly aligned heads, black mesh - it looks great on my gear.
I can't say enough positive about performance-pcs. In this day it is almost impossible to find service like this. They are permanently on my first-to-buy from list."
"Hank Baron and his very capable crew are the absolute best. Want a custom product? No Problem! They'll make it or have it made in record time...Want a very custom case? Also no problem and you will have it before quicker than anyone I've ever dealt with that does this quality of custom work, and furthermore it will be perfect or Hank will make it so!"
"These guys are GREAT. I ordered a radiator ealier this week, but they couldn't ship it out due to the address on my CC being different from my shipping address. So, I sent them an email, we worked things out, and they overnighted my package the same day. GREAT PEOPLE."
"I was disappointed that the fan controller I ordered wasent the one they advertised. Physically it was the same but it was shown as Enermax and I received one labeled Sunbeam.
I was offered my money back."
"I could not give Performance-PCs a high enough rating for their excellent customer service and professional workmanship. I am building my first PC and I needed to pick out a case. I found a huge assortment of quality cases along with easy to pick modifications on the Performance-PCs website. I sent an email to the company telling them of my wish to purchase a case, along with some case modifications. No less than the president of the company returned my email within an hour or so. Over the next few days I sent him a barrage of emails with all sorts of questions on their cases and services. Hank, the president, always promptly returned my emails the same day and patiently offered his wealth of knowledge to help me in my decision.
When it came time to place my order, Hank had one of his highly qualified staff, James, put in a personal phone call to me to discuss my decision. Since I was having trouble picking a case, James gave me a list of quality cases to look into, along with his personal recommendation of a Lian Li PC-7 Plus II. I read case reviews all over the internet and decided that James' recommendation was indeed the best case for my needs. He then called again and walked me through all the possible modifications and the order was placed. Three hours later I received an email letting me know my case was finished, providing me pictures of the finished product and that it was being sent out that same day. I was amazed.
My custom Lian Li arrived safe and sound and I could hardly believe my eyes when I opened the box. The case is absolutely beautiful, and the work James did on the case was top notch professional quality. The fact that he took the time to sleeve, mount and hide my Antec fan controls for me is just one example of how even the smallest of details were taken care of, which is representative of a real class act company. I can't thank Hank and James enough for helping me make my case so great. As a first time builder, it’s easy to get lost along the way, but not only did they take the time to help me chose a case for my needs and build, but their input and patience proved to be invaluable.
I wouldn't hesitate to give the highest recommendations for outstanding customer service and professional building to all my friends, and those looking for parts or custom builds on the PC enthusiast forums.

"Just ordered a hard to find (in stock) fan controller (sunbeam windmill) and some UV paint. Fan controller was a couple bucks more than some other online stores, but the service certainly makes up for it. I placed my order online at 11am PST and got an email saying it had *already been shipped* by 1pm PST. 2 hour shipping time! I have waited over THREE DAYS with several other online pc-mod stores before getting a shipping confirmation.
My limited email communications with performance PCs have been replied to very promply.
They also have a selection of products I havn't seen anywhere else...I wish I had found this site earlier."
"First time customer and very happy with the service. Order was shipped the day it was ordered and was received in perfect condition."
"Overall very happy with Performance-Pcs.I have made several purchases over the last two years.The only Problem I'm having is getting a response back after leaving them messages via "Contact Us" on their website,so I'm thinking they may be having problems with that.But I purchased a 12" red cold cathode tube kit with a 4" red cold cathode tube.Both these tubes were clear on the outside and a red core on the inside which puts off a very nice deep red glow.So I went ahead and purchased another 12" red cold cathode tube but this one was different,red-clear outer and a white core which did not have the deep red as the first two I received.I sent three messages through "Contact Us" over the past week and a half and never received a response.Can anyone verify if they are having trouble with receiving emails? I would really like to get some more of those red cold cathode tubes I received the first time.
Just an update,Hank called me and has offered to send me the matching cold cathode tube without having to send the other one back.That my folks is great customer service.Keep up the good work!"
"Purchasing from Performance-pcs is is joy. They ship very quicky, and their support is fantastic. I had a part that did not seem to be working correctly, and Hank from performance-pcs was very friendly about RMA'ing the part, he checked it out himself, and there was much communication throughout the whole process.
friendly, fast, knowledgeable, and good support. What more can you ask for?"
"I'd like to thank Hank Baron for going to extra lengths in
helping resolve an issue with a Logisys case that was shipped to me. Logisys had changed the design but not the description or picture on the box. Hank was able to obtain the case panels required to retrofit the case so it was as described, shipped the replacements to me at no charge and provided shipping to return the panels. A friend had suggested Performance PC's because of the good
customer service, and even though some item prices may be a little higher than you can find elsewhere on the net, paying a buck or two extra is well worth the attention you will recieve if there is an issue. Thanks again Hank!"
"Wow, excellent response (within minutes) to emails! I am very impressed, and will come back for future purchases!

"I placed my order on the 10th of april late at night and I was very impressed with there website. I found a 6400v swiftech heatsink where every other placed online did not have it instock. I also ordered artic clean. I found the checkout process very easy. The packge tracking online was awsome and very helpful when locating my package. The packing of the items was excellent. I was worried about the package since it was coming through brown but when I seen the pack job i knew I had nothing to worry about. If you have second thoughts about ordering from them don't. "
"Can't recommend Performance Pc's high enough. I ordered a pair of custom UV-sleeved, UV cathodes which arrived broken courtesy of UPS. Upon notification, Performance PC's replaced them immediately via priority mail. My rig looks hot and these guys rock! "
"Excellent Customer Service! Lian-Li V1100 Black case with Window Mod, 120mm Fan hole cut in Window. Case arrived 8 days after order placed (but shipped UPS to Arizona). Shipping box somewhat damaged (UPS), but Lian-Li case in perfect condition. Performance PCS workmanship suberb!! Highly recommend (a little pricey, but you get what you pay for!!). Also bought some modding accessories on a separate order, but Performance PCS shipped them with the case so I didn't have to pay additional shipping charges. Will definitely be a repeat Customer. Very pleased!!"
"I ordered a PC7 case (Lian Li) with a blowhole, handles, and sleeving. It was shipped the next day and the quality is amazing. They also installed the fan that I ordered together with the case, something I didn't expect. Highly recommended store."
