"Dropped my lens in a creek and needed a quick replacement. Found the same lens at KEH in E+ condition. Arrived in two days and it looked like new. Shot footage today and all looked good. KEH saved me $150 off a new lens purchase."
"I needed a new video editing computer to work with high definition video. Although AVAdirect does not do turnkey editing systems I was able to configure my own on their website which met my needs with top of the line high performance components that should last for years. AVAdirect was very helpful in assiting me with my order when a soundcard and RAM I had choosen where not compatible with the MB. Although it took several weeks for delivery I understand that this is not like ordering from Dell who maintains an inventory. It is interesting to note that I purchased my first video editing computer from Dell in 1998 and it cost me about $1,600. The computer I had AVAdirect build with the best componets was also about $1,600 with much higher performance, storage, speed and capability.
When the system arrived it was well packed and ready to go. All I had to do was hookup the keyboard, mouse and monitor cables. So far everything has worked great and I have been contacted by AVAdirect twice to see if everything is performing ok. I would definitely recommend them. Just remember it takes a while to build a great performing computer and be patient. AVAdirect has a great on-line tracking system to follow your computer build.
