Hi Bruce,

I bought a P90 from them recently. I also bought a 386 from them a few
years back.

Their P90 system is fairly good as it uses the Intel Triton chipset
(which is apparently faster and better than normal PCI systems), and
they use an American PCI motherboard.  Haven't had any major hassles
with the machines, and I did load up the computer with a big selection
of additional devices (Video capture, SCSI, SB, DAT, network card,
etc).

Their prices were pretty good. However, I would check the exact terms
of their on-site warranty. I'm not sure how they would provide it
interstate. If they can provide interstate on-site support, than it
should be ok - it may be worth paying for support for a couple of
years - after 2-3 years you will probably either upgrade the system or
buy a new one anyway.

One of the reasons I bought the computers there, is that they are
located close to where I live, so it was not all based simply on the
price/quality of their machines.

Let me know if you need any more information.

Cheers, Assi.
