I have had a CompuAdd 316s since January, and aside from my annoyance that
the price has dropped substantially, I have absolutely no complaints.

The most radical thing about CompuAdd is their attention to detail and good
service.  My machine came with the hard drive formatted and ready to go.
Even the packing material was first class, with the 800 customer support
number boldly emblazoned instead of hidden in the back of a manual. 

My only occassions to contact them after the sale were to have some of the
software copied onto 3 1/2' disks from 5 1/4".  Somebody goofed and didn't
notice that I only had a 3 1/2" floppy, and I called them recently to find
out if they had a Windows Super VGA driver for their video card (they will next
month).

A friend of mine bought the special you are describing.  She did have to
take the machine back due to a hard disk failure, but that turned out to be
nothing more than a loose cable.
