CPU Solutions

Description of Work: I have been building my own machines since the late 1980's (8086, 286 et al.) Now that I am busy with running my own business, I just don't have the time to fiddle and cobble parts together, and a friend recommended CPU Solutions. My software provider was quoting me a server and 2 workstations for almost $7,000US ! CPU Solutions allowed me to custom-build the same machines with much more robust, enterprise-level components, assembled and burnt-in by them, with a 3 year parts/labor guarantee, for literally less than half that price. I was floored with the quality of the parts. They don't offer 500 kinds of motherboards, they offer the best handful for each type of computing need. They don't have 3000 hard drives, they have 50, the best 50, from inexpensive to ones that have an average fail time of 1.4 million hours. Their components, as I built a system online at their website, compared to pricing at Newegg.com, were the same or within $10 of Newegg! So, trying to DIY it myself would have saved me nothing, and since they test and burn in the computers, it was a system I could drive 10 minutes and pick up, all with a reasonably priced 3-year warranty on parts and labor. Incredible. All the staff I've dealt with (Paul, Corbin, and the nice man at checkout (owner?)) were friendly, experienced, knowledgeable, and I never felt like I was oversold on components I didn't need. The two screaming-fast machines I already have installed came with MS Security Essentials and Windows 7. That's it. No bloatware, no resource hogging junk (Norton, McAfee, etc) that takes me half an hour to uninstall and never gets out of the registry. They are building me a new server as we speak, and I'm happy to keep my money local to Wisconsin with an exceptional company that has been around and will still be around to serve my needs. IF I needed a new machine, be it an inexpensive one to surf the web or a kid, a super-duper gaming rig, an overclocking monster, a business machine for tiny to huge corporate needs, whatever I would need, I will be going to CPU Solutions from now on. I wish I knew about them sooner. Great staff, Great service, Great pricing, Great computers.
