Alex,

I am glad to be here and must tell you that everytime I have talked with anyone from your company be it, Misha, Joe, Chris or Asaya they have been nothing short of professional and extrememly courteous to boot.  I work in the Quality Assurance group of my company and realize what meeting customer requirements is all about.  It was and is a pleasure dealing with your company, and I would recommend them in a second to anyone I know in the market for a new system or parts.  I think this forum will provide many creative ideas for your company and give you better feedback on what your customers past and future are looking for.  I really hope this platforum of ideas takes off like I think it will.

So, do you guys read PCgamer? 

Originally posted by Findedeux I was looking through the showroom builds and was surprised to see that 99% of the computers are running some version of Vista.  A lot of them are running 64-bit.  Just curious whether AVA recommends Vista over XP or 64-bit over 32-bit?

Originally posted by GodWhomIsMike Will AVADirect begin offering AMD 6-core Opteron (Istanbul) processors as an option on your Opteron desktop workstations?  Here is info about the new line of CPUs: Six-Core (2.6 GHz) AMD Opteron 2435 = $989 Six-Core (2.4 GHz) AMD Opteron 2431 = $698 Six-Core (2.2 GHz) AMD Opteron 2427 = $455 I'd love a relatively inexpensive 6-core desktop workstation coming in at the $1500-$2000 mark with Sapphire's 2GB Vapor-X 4870 video card, and a CoolerMaster HAF 932 case.  I wonder at what price point (2) 2.2 GHz six-core processor workstation would come out to with the above video card.

Anyone knows if I am a U.S. non resident. How can I buy customized laptop from avadirect? I can walk in Avadirect office in Ohio to pay in cash(USD) and walk in to get the builded product? or I can pay by my international VISA HSBC credit card? Because I can not find the email to contact avadirect team about this topic(they have cantact email but I have to fill in order number that I don't have). I am very interested in customized laptop so much and will fly to U.S. very soon to travel. Please help me! my email is chotanun@gmail.com or answer here if you require. 

Thank you Katie, I also email you at katie.maintyre@avadirect.com  (about more detail) I think avadirect is my best custom website to order because I searched in the internet so much about custom laptop website in the U.S. I think the price from avadirect compared to other website is okay for me and AVADIRECT has the most options available for customers that are best,up to date and I loves AVADIRECT so much. I think Katie and AVADIRECT team will help your AVADIRECT's real fan like me to fullfill my dream in buying AVADIRECT laptop even I am a U.S. non resident. Because As U.S. non resident, International customers like me even I can fly to U.S. by my own but from the U.S. government  regulations after 9/11 event. I can not find the U.S. bank easily to open my U.S. bank account to do transaction in the U.S. with ease like in the past. And All of custom laptop website don't accept international accepted VISA creditcard that issued outside U.S. even VISA company or Mastercard company is U.S. based company. And I can't open a U.S. bank account to link and verify my U.S. PayPal account to send payment to a seller in U.S. and so I can't ask for a U.S. issued debit card or credit card to link to my U.S. PayPal. So My payment options is so narrowed! So my choices has
