DO IT ! I have purchased systems from them, and have recommended *many* 
systems for them (at no commission. Damn !) and have never gotten a *single* 
complaint from anyone that bought from them. I have had some *incredible* 
experiences with their sales and support staff (right now there are over 90 
techs available at their toll-free number), not the least of which was a 
*free* upgrade they gave me from their Crystal Scan 1024 to a NEC 3d just 
because the old Orchid video card they used to use had a compatibility 
problem with the Crystalscan (Tatung) That's a real committment to customer 
satisfaction in my book and, once you get past the generic high-quality 
components going into most clones these days, isn't the company what you 
are really buying ??


Like I said, Do IT!

A good sales rep to use would be Bob Burnison. Tell him I sent ya. He'll 
get a charge out of it, and maybe when I order my 486-33, I'll get a tower 
case out of it ! :-)

The direct number is

Let me know how it works out.
