Does anyone know of the Systemax system sold by Tiger Direct.Com.From their
website they seem to be a fairly good machine at a reasonable price.Any help
would be appreciated. Thanks

Last review I heard, yes. Read the specs carefully. Make sure it will
perform to the level you need and is capable of future upgrades or
changes.

yes they are pretty good machines. I don't live far from where they are
built and I used to work there before they were bought by Systemax.

company. It was bought out by Systemax a few years later and massively
updated and expanded in terms of production lines, etc. But I know many
people who still work there (and heard the gripes during the growing pains
and changes). They still maintain a reseller distribution division as well,
and the custom configured machines I sell go down the same production lines
as Systemax machines. I toured the plant back in 2001. Pretty impressive
compared to what it was when I was still working there, and the quality has
improved exponentially. In the early years before systemax, I sometimes had
systems with incorrect parts, or something else wrong to deal with when it
arrived at my place. I bet I haven't had to request a part replacement for
something DOA or incorrect in over 3 years, and the software configs are
rock solid these days. Before, I regularly had to tweak them. The only thing
that bugs me about them now is because they are so much bigger than they
used to be, they have warehouses in several states, so instead of all my
peripherals parts, etc. coming from just one place an hour away (which
resulted in next day UPS ground service), now it takes 2-3 days for me to
get parts shipped regular ground, because they may be shipped from PA or IL,
etc. or they will be drop-shipped straight from the peripheral
manufacturer's warehouse. The Systemax manufacturing plant is pretty cool
though. Out in the middle of nowhere, with nothing but cornfields and cows
around it. ;-)

Your ability to discern related events is as up the shit as the "technical"

Bet the local agricultural extention service puts signs on front of the
pc plant also just like they put those numbered signs along the road
next to fields of corn so they can keep track of their genetic progress
for the engineered varities.

LOL! We grow some good PCs in these here parts.
