Attention to Detail 12/30/09 - Upgrading from my recently dead XP box. The 3b-tech PC arrived DOA on 1/7/10. Worked with tech supp to try and resolve prob. When they said to take out and inspect the CPU I said it was time to send it back for refund! They would only repair since it was a "custom built" machine. I gave them verbal and written notes about the front panel coming off during shipment and some plastic pieces I found rattling around in the case when I opened it for inspection - not good. Sent it back on 1/12/10 after waiting for them to send me an RMA. They did however pay the return shipping both ways. 1/20/10 - Got the repaired PC (motherboard?) back with the front panel still jammed out of place exactly as I had originally received it, internal boards and some memory chips were not fully seated AND with no OS loaded!!! - I had ordered Windows 7 to be installed and the HD came back formatted for XP - no OS, just formatted! Called tech supp again and they said "just install Windows 7 - its easy"! True enough, the install was easy, BUT locating the correct drivers for all the components of the system took hours of searching and testing (of course the OEM drivers they supplied were NOT compatible with Win 7, and even crashed my system). I finally got the machine working and software loaded to my satisfaction a couple days later after much research about Win 7 compatibility issues on the web (thank goodness the network card was working!). My point being is that this should not have been needed if the install was done correctly at the original system build time. I have purchased several PCs online before and this was by far my worst experience with a "custom-built" system. These guys need to pay a lot more closer attention to detail. I even bought another motherboard from Ebay for my XP box as a just-in-case backup! Downtime: 3 weeks Grade: C
