"Been buying from eCollege for about a year now and it keeps getting easier and easier. I order, and it shows up in a week or less. No complaints from any of my customers, only good things to say about the speed and quality. To sum up eCollege PC in 1 word would be quality. The systems all feel very sturdy unlike some system builds I have done in the past. Also the warranty says alot about the company, they stand behind their system builds offering a 3 year warranty. I will continue to purchase and continue to be a satisfied customer! -GeekIncDotNet (Barebones PC Buyer @ eCollegePC)"

"I've had the extreme pleasure of having a monster system custom built by Mike/eCollegePC and contained therein was BFG's bad boy the GTX 295 H2OC 1792MB PCIe 2.0 Will after 9 months of gaming and work related who-ha the bugger (GTX 295) died so I tried to use my BFG lifetime warranty and BFG sent me their now famous Sorry out of business letter, so where do I go from here? contact Mike/eCollegePC. I stated my frustration and Mike had me send him the now defunct card to see if he could fix it and supplied me a loner until a fix and or solution was derived. This is what I like, yes vergina, someone out there cares and will work with you, BFG stiffs me and Mike/eCollegePC helps me.

I've always thought you get what you pay for but eCollegePC has changed my mind, I pay less and receive more.

So If you prefer fast response,excellent customer service, and great pricing, then by all means you should contact Mike at eCollegePC.com

"Overall, I'd buy from them again: They are so much cheaper than anybody else, even if they do have some faults.

Pros:
Cheap for high end systems
Real brand components (either they say what it is, or it was XFX for the video card)

Cons: I've ordered 3 computers:
First one: late by 4 days, mobo not seated properly, they didn't contact me to tell me it would be late
2nd one: no problems
3rd one: 9 days late! They didn't contact me to tell me, when contacted, they claimed they were out of the HDD and needed to get a new shipment

Mediocre: Wiring was aceptable

Other notes: great to customize later (I put in a TV tuner, some more USB ports, another HDD I had laying around)"

"I bought the performance customized version from the website along with the windows XP Pro. Very good delivery time and the product packaging was excellent. Took off the casing to check for shipping damage and there was none. Fired it and so far couldn't be more pleased. I had a few minor questions that I sent to Mike and he got right back to me. I highly recommend this company. I am not a highly skilled user, but everything was very easy to unpack and get up running. I highly recommend this seller. "

"Need better communication, best price for custom built, needs better warranty/shipping method."

"I remember seeing this company on Ebay awhile back and kind of forgot about them until recently when I was checking out "whitebox" rigs and they had several up for auction with upgrade options, I did a little research and read reviews so I gave them a shot. I ordered a quad core system with a case and psu upgrade and I want to tell you I am very impressed! Prices are very good, workmanship was excellent, and communication was lightning fast. I slapped XP Pro on it and off I went. Flawless machine, I'm ordering another one for everyday, email, surfing, etc. tasks. Highly recommended. William Schuppe"

"Communication needs work and turnaround time for repair could improve.

"I've got nothing but good things to say about this company. I ordered my system, got my invoice, got a estimated shipping date very quickly. A tracking number came soon after that, and I got my system within 3 days.

I found out later that they actually UPGRADED my motherboard and powersupply for free, but I still feel that they should have told me beforehand that these modifications were taking place. I suspect that they had run of the specific powersupply and motherboard I had chosen.

They are extremely responsive and most questions are answered within an hour via email. I would highly recommend buying from eCollegePC because of the HUGE savings that you receive with the additional benefit of being able to fine-tune a PC to your liking. I am most definitely buying a PC from them in the future.

I only have one thing to say, and that is the box that they ship with. They shipped the PC in the case/tower's box, not a cardboard brown box. Anybody with half a brain could've realized a computer was in there. However, the innards of the box had styrofoam and was overall VERY well protected. Still, be sure you're home the day your PC comes, as FEDEX will PORCH the case in broad daylight regardless if you are home or not."

"Great site to buy a custom built pc. Many choices to choose from and also they may even use parts not shown on their site if that is your wish(I wanted an nVidia gtx280 1gb).
Very fast email responses from the moment you have a question about a system build to even after your order is already shipped.
It came built and tested as promised. Even took the time to twist tie the wires and put together all the software in a neat package. I've had it for about a week so far and everything has worked perfectly. This site builds like experts and it costs about as much as if you were to buy the parts separately and build yourself!"

"Hello,

I ordered a high end desktop from ecollegepc after running my old one into the ground after 6 years. Figured I'd future proof my system so here's my review.

Right off the bat Mike was very, very patient and helpful. I'm guessing he runs the joint since every section he replied to, within an hour and on weekends super fast as well. If you're looking for a custom pc place, let me tell you I looked ever-y-where for the best price per part ratio. High end sellers like alienware and falcon northwest sell you the same parts for literally 1,000+ dollars. They overcharge for parts that are actually mid-grade and bank on their image.

Ecollegepc is very, very reasonably priced and they customize it how you want it. I was surprised that the wiring was all neatly cabled and bunched together which saves space and helps with the airflow. My pc was delayed a few days because the motherboard did not work well with the processor I chose (nforce 780i and a quad 9450). Mike offered me an upgrade from a single graphics card (9800GTX) to a 9800GX2 with no additional charge to compensate for the time delay. If you're an avid enthusiast for gaming, videos, and whatever else, that's one hell of a deal. That's a 300 dollar price difference right there.

The only negative that I noted was that FedEx is known for being inferior to UPS. Everything came fine (Ecollege packed it very well) but UPS managed to bend the metal part of my graphics card. No biggie, they are easy to install. It only took a few minutes.

I would recommend that they change their shipping to UPS though, my computer was delayed for three days because of them. On ecollege's part they did everything very well and in a professional manner. I highly recommend them to anyone buying any type of custom built PC for a great price. I spent a month of research looking into every part, price, and aspect of my build and couldn't be more happy with their work.

Very good company.

Will"

"Great shopping experience. Very competitive pricing. Turnaround time for questions was very, very fast, and the information very helpful. The system arrived within the promised time frame and works without a flaw. Mike was also very responsive and helpful re. the one minor issue that arose post-sale: The motherboard I had ordered was out of stock, so he outfitted the computer with another of equal value. Since this new board lacked the firewire port the old one had, he volunteered to send me an extra firewire card at no cost. I can only recommend him and his company. "

"First let me say that I greatly appreciate the professional manner that Mike and the staff at eCollegePC treated my inquiries about their systems before I made my purchase from them. The order process was very easy and the prices are the lowest that I have personally found. When I placed my order, Mike personally let me know that the order was received and when I could expect it to be shipped and I found him to be true to his word. When I received my system it was immaculate and I was extremely happy with the results. Thank you Mike and the folks at eCollegePC for building the best system that I have ever owned."
