Just to possibly help those folks who are in the market for looking a good custom, professional build. Nothing against you do-it-yourselfers, I applaud you. The company I researched and decided on also sells components too, if you are looking for great customer service. First the rig I bought. I have to come the point where these big towers are just a pain in my arse, so I decided I wanted a micro ATX. Not many gaming computer builders/integrators have embraced the small but powerful. Having researched for weeks, hands down this company was the winner based on price, experience, and customer service.
