AVADirect Custom Computers Awards and Reviews

"In their Silent Gaming PC, AVADirect has produced a reasonably balanced, powerful build that goes a large way towards proving a powerful system can still run quietly. Since gaming typically taxes the GPU far more than the CPU and the custom cooler on the GTX 580 runs incredibly quietly, gamers aren't going to have any complaints with AVADirect's build."   - Dustin Sklavos

"Since the machine is build-to-order, you can cut back on some components to save money--or you can go in the opposite direction and make the AVADirect X7200 even more of a performance beast by adding memory or doubling up on GPU horsepower. Despite the big price, if you want the raw performance of a desktop system, but need to schlep the PC around frequently, the X7200 may just fit the bill."   - Loyd Case

"Though the system is as quiet as its moniker suggests, it’s still a beast on our benchmarks ..."   - Alex Cocilova

"AVADirect's Clevo P180HM is a desktop replacement that chomps at the bit for LAN party gaming, but let's not pigeonhole what this system can do. With a super large 18.4-inch display, Blu-ray drive and CyberLink software, all the parts are in place for an entertainment powerhouse, and that's what AVADirect put together. A heaping pile of RAM, smoking fast solid state drive, and quad-core processor form a fierce foundation for all types of power user tasks. Don't even bother trying to find a chink in the armor, because one doesn't exist. AVADirect left no stone unturned."   - Paul Lilly

"AVADirect took gaming to heart with its silent PC. Besides overclocking its 3.3GHz Core i5-2500K to 4.7GHz using a Prolimatech Megahalems cooler, AVADirect matches that chip with Asus’s three-slot ENGTX580 card. With its beefy build and giant fans, the yuge ENGTX580 is generally intended for overclocking, but if you don’t overclock, you can run the card quietly. So damn quiet, in fact, that the fans on the ENGTX580 don’t spool up to any noticeable level."   - Gordon Mah Ung

"Overall, my impressions of the AVADirect custom system were very positive and it proves that you can not only build a system for around $1000 (from scratch) and play all of today's latest games, but you also have one BUILT FOR YOU for around $1000. In truth, the markup you are paying for the system is minimal over buying the components directly and you get the added protection of a three warranty."   - Ryan Shrout

"While our last review of an AVADirect desktop was the Nano Gaming Cube, which seemed to be practically bursting at the seams with hardware, the Lian Li enclosure used for the Compact Gaming PC we have in house seems far better suited to the tasks at hand. AVADirect's engineers were able to put together a smart, clean design and rise to the challenge of cooling such a monstrous machine to the best of their ability."   - Dustin Sklavos

"All of the systems in this year's Dream PCs roundup have stellar scores, so pointing out exceptional results in a particular area feels a bit like splitting hairs. After all, any of the rigs in these pages will chomp through varied workloads with voracity. That said, this entrant (AVADirect) logged some of the highest frame rates and 3D scores in our showdown. Hey, AVADirect told us flat out that is was a gaming PC."   - Andrew Leibman

"When it comes to buying a gaming notebook with the latest and greatest technology, one of the best options is a customized Clevo gaming rig. And, when it comes to custom Clevo notebooks, the team at AVADirect continues to produce some impressive PCs. It is true that other custom notebook resellers offer the Clevo X7200 with similar configurations, but we have been pretty impressed with this particular machine."   - Jerry Jackson
