5/5
"I almost got a Dell to replace my old computer when its motherboard failed. But so many reviews of terrible service but good machines got me looking for other options.
Researched many custom builders including reading many reviews here about various companies. I did some comparisons and various options. I have 5 22-24" monitors (one on a Y adapter) so need two dual good video cards. I have never played any game but serious business user.
I was at first a bit overwhelmed by the options with AVA. I researched every component and came up with a system I thought was the best.
Than I got in touch with Joe Munder. Extremely helpful and made some other suggestions. I researched and concluded he was absolutely right and took all his recommendations.
Everything was in stock and since I was going out of town for almost two weeks having it arrive within a week of my return was perfect. I had spent days transferring from backups to my laptop (a Dell with very few problems but next time would like at AVS systems).
Everything worked perfect, very securely packed, left open cables so I easily was able to add 2 of my old VelociRaptor 300gig drives from old computer so I now have 3 of the same drive.
Joe could not have been more helpful and although it took a week to reinstall zillions of programs and lots of software headaches all the pre-installed software and WinXP Pro worked fine. Never been able to get IE8 to work on old system but no problem on new (I use Firefox 99% but sometimes have to use IE).
