Hi, i'm thinking of getting a new rig since i'm gonna sell my old rig to a friend. This is what I've in mind. Velocity Raptor™ Signature Edition or should I go with Monarchcomputer and config my own? I've order from Monarchcomputer before and have had good experience with them. As for Velocitymicro, i've heard good stuff about them but no experience with them. $6000 is my max budget, so what would be the best route?

A note on the side: I don't want to buy the parts and have to go thru all the hassle to put them together. So I'll just let Velocitymicro or Moarchcomputer take care of that for me. With that said, which way is the best route? Veloctiy with the preconfig or go with Monarchcomputer and Config my own? If I should go with Monarchcomputer, can some1 give me the config with $6000 or less.

thanks.
 
6k for a computer that doesn't come with a monitor?

You'll be throwing away tons of money compared to peicing it together (An equal machine peiced together on the egg = $3800), but since you said you don't want to deal with the hassle (I kind of don't blame you lol) I would say go with velocity micro over monarch.
 
for those that pick velocitymicro can you tell me why? I just want to know... experience wise or read it somewhere or what not... thanks
 
Alot of talk about Monarch's customer service taking a huge turn for the worse over the past couple of months. Personally, I never had a problem with them. And you say you haven't either. I know it's better to be a leader than a follower, but with many people complaining it just has you kind of wondering.
 
FYI, there are reports of people waiting over a month for their custom MCS system. If you don't mind waiting and want to save some cash, then go with MCS. I haven't heard anything about Velocity Micro, sorry. Though, with those prices, that better be one kickass system that you can play with str8 outa the box. For 6K, it better put itself in its proper place under my desk and plug all the necessary cables in without my help, too, lol.

check the Computers & Gadgets Forum, and you'll see why Velocity Micro is highly recommended. also, the President and Product Developer (Chris Morley formerly of [H]Consumer) are regular visitors to that forum, and they're easily accessible.
