AVADirect Custom Computers vs Mass Produced Computers

We would like to explain exactly what a custom computer is so you can understand why our company is different. Large computer retailers make money by standardizing their designs and selling the same computer over and over. Customers are not informed about any of the parts that are used to make their computer, and they usually have very few real customization options.

For example, most people have absolutely no idea what brand of motherboard is in their desktop computer. Not a big deal you might think. As long as the computer is running good, who really cares what motherboard they have? While this may seem like trivia at the time you are purchasing a computer, the type of motherboard selected by the manufacturer will have a very big impact on the performance of the computer. Also, the type of motherboard determines what upgrades can be added to the computer in the future.

As custom computer builders, we not only help you decide which is the best motherboard to use, we help you design a complete computer system that is customized for your tasks. As a result, you as a customer receive a computer that was built specifically for you, instead of a mass marketed computer that is built for anyone who buys it.

It's All About Quality

In addition to custom building a computer specifically for your needs, we also include all of the following services with every computer we build.

• You get all manufacturer's documentation and driver disks for all parts in your computer (no more wondering what motherboard you have)
• All systems are burned in and tested for at least 24 hours before shipping
• Free technical support for as long as you own your computer
• A free labor and 3-year parts warranty with all new systems (ask the big manufacturers what their warranties are)
• 30-day money-back guarantee on complete systems
