"I have this computer for about 2 months now. It had been on since it arrived at my office. I have been very please with Vigor's service starting with my purchasing experience to the details in packaging my computer to prevent shipping damage. In addition, even when I did something wrong myself, they were very quick and courtious in helping me resolving the issues. I will definitely purchase from them again."
"order was placed on decemember 15th and computer arrived today. was surprised how quickly they built the computer and got it out to me. have been nothing but impressed with both the quality of the tower and how quick it is. customer services was very friendly and helpful as well. was also impressed by how low the price was. will buy from again and will reczomend to friends."
"I got this computer as a birthday present from my girlfriend. It is the best present ever. I have never seen a laptop performs so well, let alone a laptop with SLI graphics and a 19" screen. It is faster than my desktop computer at work! The only thing is that it is somewhat heavy. But, hey, you can't expect something this powerful to be packed in a little slim case. Anyway, I am so happy with this computer that I am having a real hard time trying to get something this nice for her birthday. Maybe I should get her one too. :)"
"I ordered my new Delta Force from Vigors website on Monday 27th Nov. At first I wanted all the bells and whistles and the price was really starting to add up fast. I wanted the top line graphics card ( GEforce 8800 GTX ) but I wanted to run 2 of them. I contacted Vigor and spoke with Tommy and he advised me that the system I chose with that graphics card was top line and it would do all that I wanted and more for right now. He suggested I upgrade the power supply to a 900 for in the future and buy the second graphics card when i could afford it. He saved me a bunch of money. I was going to contact Vigor today to find out how my computer was coming along and to my surprise after checking my email it had already Shipped. Wow i couldn't believe it was already at the town next door. It should arrive today or tomorrow that is 5-6 business days assembled and shipped to my door. Awesome! 10/10. I can't wait for it to arrive and test it out. I will update soon.
---------------------------------
Update
---------------------------------
We received our Computer as expected and one word sums it up. AWESOME!
Packaging was top notch, well protected not a mark on the computer.
I couldn't believe the size of this machine. I was bewildered at first with all the accessories it came with wondering if I could hook it up myself so I just got all the basics together and called tech support. George was on the line all the way explaining all my items to me and to my surprise I had it together correctly. It fired up first time no problems at all. The letter A on the keyboard wouldn't work. I called support, spoke with Tommy and he shipped me a new one out overnight free of charge. They didn’t even want the old one back. I was impressed. All was going great. I was happily installing all the games printers etc then I faced a problem. The PC kept restarting and restating over and over. I couldn’t get windows up. I called tech support the next day and spoke with Tommy again. He trouble shot my system with me and it was fixed within 5 minutes. It tuned out that it was due to my Portable drive device I connected up. I guess it sort of confused the Bios and put the boot up order out of place. But with a few changes and all was back on track. No biggy at all. The response from these guys is nothing short of outstanding. It took me a little while to give this update as I have been in awe playing the games and enjoying our new computer. This machine rocks and so does vigor. I wouldn't hesitate recommending this company to anyone both customer service and product is superior to any other company I have ever dealt with.

"First things first. I ordered the Vigor Atlantis from the website after doing some research for a gaming pc/desktop replacement. This is a gaming PC, and I was looking for a company to build something stable, reliable, great build quality, powerful, SLI, AMD and one of the best for gaming for a nice price.
Heres what I got: Vigor Atlantis Silver
CPU: AMD Turion 64 ML-40
Memory: 1GB Corsair PC-3200 (Single Configuration)
Hard Drive: 80GB SATA150 5400RPM
Graphics: Dual nVidia GeForce Go 7900 GTX 512MB in SLi
Optical: Pioneer Super Multi DVD+/-R/RW + 24CDRW
Sound: Sound Blaster Pro compatible, HD 7.1 Audio w/ SRS WOW
Networking: WiFi Wireless 802.11b/g w/ Bluetooth
Warranty: One Year and some other components like an extra battery and software.
$3380, free shipping and free backpack.
Purchasing: The online purchasing if fairly clean and straight forward to navigate. One thing I was a little disappointed about is that the SiN decal was not available to purchase. Once everything was in order the way I wanted and submitted, I instantily received an e-mail confirmation with the order number and outline, price, numbers and also a representative would call in about 48hrs. I ordered my system Nov 2 and received it 11/17/2006.
8.5/10
Packaging/Presentation: The system arrived in a pretty large box. Upon opening the box, inside was another box sealed, and once I opened that box inside, once again was a third box! Great packaging for protection with foam balls and foam inserts. The free backback came packed with a box stuffed with various items such as s-video, componenet video cords, a binder with FAQ's, XP disc, and driver/software discs.
9.5/10
First Boot: Very fast boot up and the desktop was rather empty which is one thing I am grateful for these days and other companies load a pc with bloatware and icons. Most of the drivers for the components were up to date.
9.5/10
Comfort/Style: As many people know about the Atlantis is that it is a very big laptop with a 19" screen, 22" diagnoal. Once opened it is just one inche shy of being the same size as my 23" LCD TV...and quickly acquired the nicknames "The Juggernaut(X-Men Parody) ;) and Behemoth," from friends and family, so this is a large heavy laptop at about 20lbs. Pretty quiet when running, but the right side gets pretty hot during long use. Also note this is the same chassis used in Alienware's mALX.
9/10
Gaming: The meat and potatoes of the system. Lets talk, first before running games I did PCMark 05 and 3DMark06, which ran fairly smooth aside from a few chugs due to the processor. Had an avg of bout 40fps w/o SLi. Pretty nice! Now for the most demanding games, the backbreakers. F.E.A.R and Oblivion. Upon firing up FEAR w/o SLi the auto detect set everything to max at 1280*1024 and had a avg of 50fps. W/ SLi cranked it up to about 62fps. Oblivion, also was set at max and had a great time running, just a few studders in open plush fields of grass/flowers/trees/sun while fighting. I didnt run the fps program but from the looks was no less than 30-35fps.
10/10
Sound: The 4 speakers, 2 bottom front underboard and 2 on top of the keypad in the corners sound pretty nice, dont produce ample low's for bass but are still pretty good. Secondly, when an outline is used to speakers/stereo or whatever, there is a low buzz, not heard in higher volumes, but can be annoying in low volumes using headphones. Also, compared to my desktop with the same output config the volume produced is significantly less than the desktop. To produce the same levels you have to crank the computer volume to near 100% and turn whatever speakers your using up pretty high. This can probably be fixed with an upgrade to Soundblaster 2 ZS or external device.
8/10
Overall I would give this system and company a 9/10, as there are things they did very well and somethings that need a few improvements such as more options in customization of paint, as ViciousPC does that fairly well. Address the sound problems, and just a little more from the company in presentation once you open the shipping box to make the customer feel really appreciated for the purchase such as a thank you business card, mug (Voodoo), tee shirt (alienware) and etc.
Very good buy, would recommened them for gaming pc's, good value/pricing.

"My experience with Vigor can be ranked as the best web purchase I have ever had. My machine was running flawlessly overclocked for several months now. I especially like the fact that they did not send the pc to me with all the junks on the desktop.
My experience with their customer service has also been excellent. They have answered every questions that I have posed to them almost immediately. In fact, they even called me back to make sure that all my questions had been answered.
If you are looking for a finely tuned gaming machine with great service, I would give Vigor a try. Because that is exactly what I had received from them."
"I had a night mare with ordering a computer over the internet, however, I decided to give a try when my old computer dead. After about a week of research on the internet, I basically narrowed it down to few companies, Vigor is one of them. I contacted Vigor for detail of what I need. The ordering process was very easy and my salesperson Diane went over the order with me to make sure everything is to my liking. Because I wanted my notebook in blue, I had to wait a little longer. However, it arrived 2 weeks earlier than what I was told, I was amazed with the quality of worksmanship. The wait time ompare nothing to the attention to detail they paid to my notebook. For the last few months, I have been traveling with my notebook and I haven't have any problems. Everywhere I go I have people asking me "where did you get the notebook?" This notebook not only made my life easier on the road, it also made me feel good about myself. "
"I have been looking for a top of the line gaming PC for the last few months and I had narrowed down my choices between Alienware, Cyberpower and Vigor. After reading several reviews on pc magazine and computer shopper, I decided to buy from Vigor because it has the best reseller rating's reviews. Ordering process was very easy. After submiting my order through internet, Kaye called me on the phone the next day and confirmed my order with me item by item. This really makes me feel secure because I have had several experience with wrong item shipped with web orders. My fully-loaded Force Recon QXN arrived a little bit over 2 weeks afterward. It came well-packed and much larger than I expected. After installing F.E.A.R., I was on it for hours because it ran so smoothly! I even ran 3Dmark 2006 to test it and got a wooping 15,600 score. This is absolutely the best "Early" Christmas present I have ever had!!"
"So far so good. I did some research on the main gaming laptop builders and decided on Vigor based on price, reseller ratings, and available options. One thing that I did not see on the site was a close-up of the laptop keyboard, so I called up sales and spoke to Laura. Laura was able to send me the view I wanted within a few hours. I ordered an AUGUSTUS custom laptop without the custom paint job. I would rate customer communications as good, but with a bit of room for improvement. I would have liked to have seen an e-mailed status at the end of the build and again at the end of the testing process, instead of just order received and order sent out for delivery. On the other hand, the sales group was very responsive when I picked up the phone for status. In addition, I was informed by Tommy that I received a free hard drive upgrade when I called to ensure that the testing phase was completed successfully. My order was built and certified within the promised timeframe of 7 - 10 days, and is now in the hands of UPS. As I stated, my experience has been very good so far. I will add details about product quality when I receive the machine."
"Augustus is fun more than I expected...!! Throughout the customization process, I received timely respones from their sales support team as well as the professional suggestion on component combination. Now I've got a powerful laptop same as my desktop. Great puchasing experience with Vigor Gaming..!!"
"FORCERECON AXE AMD Athlon 64 X2 AM2 FX-62 Processor at 2.8GHz, 2000MHz FSB. Awesome performance, excellant customer services, focus on high-end. Love my Vigor machine, period. Will recommend to all my friends!!!
"
"I've had bad experiences in the past deal with other gaming pc vendors. But this tims I have found a really professional business to deal with, this is the Vigor Gaming. Their entire team is friendly, respectful and in very deatil to help your needs. Every question I asked was answered quickly and professionally by their sales support staffs. They treated customers with honest. This is the most that I appreciate!Unsurpassed service & product quality. Highly recommend Vigor Gaming PC from bottom of my heart to anyone who wants quality, support and reasonable pricings. Rare animals nowadays in this industry. Keep up good works! Vigor folks. "
"I purchased an Augustus Laptop from Vigor and it's great for playing WOW. I love the fact that I no longer have to bring a desktop as this is more powerful then any of my buddies desktops. I got the FX60 CPU with a 7900 video card and this thing rocks!!! The guys from Vigor were great and was very helpful. Service was great. It's a pleasure dealing with them."
"I am really happy with my Stealth. It is not as fancy at the Force Recon, but, it is definitely the best price/performance combination. Order process was fairly easy, and it took less than 2 weeks to get it to my house. It was package very carefully to avoid shipping damage. All I have to do was to connect the cables and the computer came right on. The material they use is very high quality
and not just some cheap plastic. I especially like the flashing blue light in the front. All in all, I really like my computer. I will definitely use Vigor for my next purchase.:
