Somebody been shopping in czone too often. But look at their point. They stock everything including the highend. The employ a lot of sales people.
They open up in good location etc.. so somebody has to pay for this. They have a very good rep in rma, support etc with the distros even up to principle level.

If u want to post hypothetical suggestion of what u think is better. Post the link of the review that suggest that.Dont post it off as u know what that hardware can do. People who ask recommendation itself are just lazy and kindda stupid in some sense cause a little bit of googling and time they can come up with their own spec based on the budget. Its not a niche market for asking a recommendation.

Simple.

Recommendation thread was started because to many lazy lowyation started personal threads asking. Its to pile them there to mix around with naive "recommends"

U are assuming people there actually check on distro reliability, batch issues, RMA time frame etc. How are they going to check. This are kids who dont know a single person in the industry. In that case seriously system builders like Idealtech, cycom are totally recommended. Because u really need distro reliability on low end stuff. They tend to have a higher rma rate.

Btw up to u guys.I have been here long enough and still here to have seen this cycle. Either ignore it or b**** about me being right later on in ure hardware cycle.
