Thresh's Firingsquad heeft de Raptor eens bekeken, een computer van GamePC een kleine OEM in de US maar dan wel een met een goede reputatie en kwaliteits onderdelen:
Worse, once you throw in software bundles and accessories, trying to build a comparable custom system isn't nearly as cost effective as buying a pre-built OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) system, since OEMs get good deals on parts and software because they buy in bulk quantities. The large tier-1 OEMs like Dell and Compaq actually contract out orders directly with the manufacturers.
Of course, going with an OEM isn't an easy decision either. OEM systems tend to be more expensive than custom systems. Many of OEM boxes feature all sorts of little gadgets that you can't opt out on, and they also come with substantial software bundles that are only good for a brief microwave fireworks display (MS Works, anyone?). If you don't want the extras, tough luck. You're going to pay for it anyway.
[...] We have the technical know-how to build a similar system for less money, but many of our less technical readers will see the GamePC as a perfect fit. If we didn't come from a hardcore point of view, then the GamePC would have received a much higher score.
De computer die ze leveren is zeker mooi maar te duur, een tweaker kan zelf wel een systeem bouwen en zeker als je dat $500 bespaart. Verder is het een computer waar Dell en Compaq nog wat van kunnen leren
