There were a couple requests for info on FastMicro computers.  I have the
386-40 computer that was offered during the summer as their package deal.
I bought it in person (since my home is close to Tempe, AZ), so I got to
see the outfit they ran.  The store was clean, full service (everything
from books to chips), and was quite large (resembling CompUSA).

The salespeople and techs were technically knowledgeable about the systems
they were selling.  I had to wait a week for customizing the base 386
package from 4 to 8 megs RAM.  But during the meantime they did a 
thorough technical workout of the system...a form detailing the tests
they did on it came with the machine when I got it a week later.

I haven't had to take it into service, and I've been using it heavily
every day under MS Windows for 4.5 months.  I don't know how their 
return/repair performance really stacks up.

Hope this helps.
