AVADirect Mini Gaming PC Review: Ivy Bridge, GTX 680 in a Mini-ITX Package
Buying a system with the same components from Newegg.com resulted in an in-cart amount of $1890 plus shipping. The price difference of $256 will net you the overclock of the CPU to 4.4 GHz as well as the 3 year warranty offered by AVADirect. To me, that is totally worth it: you get the system already assembled and built in a clean fashion, its been tested and burned in so your chances of DOA components are pretty minimal and if something goes wrong you have a small business to get in touch with rather than a huge conglomerate.
