What computor to buy for gaming?
Stay away from Monarch Computors of Tucker, Geogia. Don't buy a Hornet model PC and repeat the same mistake I've made. Be careful with whom you do business with and invest in a good warrantly. Try to see past the advertisement hype. I thought that I was buying a killer gaming/multimedia unit with the Hornet model and believed the hype. The unit has been plagued with the same problems- mobo, memory, video card, and power supply. I've been dancing to this Cha Cha since I've recieved the unit. Six months of hell with no end in sight. I paid $3500+ dollars for my unit. I ordered it in Febuary. I'm on my third RMA trying to fix these persistant problems. Buy from a company with excellent customer service and reviews. Buy from Polywell, HP or Dell. These companies have well deserved reputations and they don't produce garbage. I should've bought from one of these companies. I regret my choice and I've taken a great loss. I fell like I've been conned and swindled. This has been an agonizing nightmare. I wish this on no one. Buyer beware!

well xi computers fully test your system for a week in a hot room just to try and see if they can get anything bad to happen so they can fix it atleast I think it's a week that's how long they had mine for testing
