CPU Solutions Inc — Attraction in Middleton

PRODUCT Pre-Configured Intel i7 3.4ghz Quad Core PC. 16GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Windows 8, GTX660 w/2GB, 700W PS, Level 10 Snow Edition Case

I don't believe in spending 300% more to get all top of the line components which will give you maybe 20% better performance and then in a couple months those components be second rate because of rapidly improving technology.For me, this computer is the perfect mix of higher end components in a case that allows for easy almost infinite upgrades and customization. Considering that I ordered in on Jan 1 when everybody was on vacation it was still shipped in a few days and well packaged.

For me, the smaller 1TB HDD is also a plus. I installed the basic software I needed then for less than $100 I cloned the system drive making the system close to bulletproof. I can restore it back to fully functional in less than 1 minute in the event of almost any system crash.

It came with a Windows 8 install CD and all the component driver CDS, a plus not listed in their product description.

Cold startup time is about 45 seconds (with Norton's full security suite installed)and this includes the log in page and me typing in my password.

Performance was better than I expected. I replaced an older (but half decent) system with a GTX 520 card. As shipped from CPUSolutions in Warcraft the differences were kind of amazing. With all high to ultra settings @1920X1080 almost all frame rates at least doubled. I think the best test was standing in Orgrimmar on one of the highest populated servers in the game with hundreds of people running around, chatting and linking equipment, FPS went from 10 to 15 on the old system to 65 to 80 FPS on the new system as shipped with no modifications. By the way, that's while running 2 monitors off the same card too with 9 action bars and a ton of add-ons. Running around questing is usually around 90 to 100 FPS and 20 to 30 man battlegrounds about the same. These are the numbers I've seen on benchmark tests from much more expensive systems.

I can't tell you anything about support because I haven’t needed any but I guess that tells you something.

As configured this system does just about twice as good as I expected for about half the money I expected to pay.

p.s. I didn't believe all these 5 star ratings myself but I'm a real person WOW US servers Area 51 and Anetheron, Boothill plus about 15...

I cannot say enough good things about this business. When I purchased my computer from CPU Solutions back in 2021, I was a little hesitant to order a computer from a business in Wisconsin because I live in Florida. I decided to do so because of the quantity and quality of reviews like this one. I purchased the computer for an extremely reasonable price. It more than met my needs, and it worked flawlessly. The best thing about PCU Solutions though is the level of customer support they have provided, not only during the sales process but the years thereafter.

By way of example, this past week I attempted to upgrade my operating system to Windows 11, This required me to modify the file structure on my hard drive so the computer could boot securely. In order to do so, I relied on a software program which shall remain nameless. This program botched the process, which rendered my entire computer unbootable. I contacted this software company more than twenty times over two days in order to attempt to rectify the situation, and the only response I received for my efforts was a voicemail that said they were busy helping other callers. There was nobody even available to sell me the additional support which would have been required to potentially fix my problem, which I found to be incredibly frustrating.

In more than a bit of desperation, I contacted CPU Solutions. The contrast between the two companies could not have been more striking. Todd picked up the phone on my first try, and it felt really good to talk to a real live human being. He referred me to Tim, their technician, who was available the very next day. Tim contacted me, and over multiple sessions devoted probably two hours to me, guiding me through the process of trying to restore my files and tweaking my bios in multiple ways to make the upgrade process work. The fact that CPU Solutions did this for me at no cost four years after my initial purchase is nothing less than remarkable. For this reason, they will be my first option when it is time to replace my computer, and the first recommendation I make to my family and friends who are in a...

As a retirement gift to myself I wanted a new PC for my "Flight Simulator" hobby. i searched the internet and after much research decided on CPU Solutions. I wanted a machine that would chew up FSX, I was tired of low frame rates and having to move the sliders back (My fellow flight simmers know what I'm talking about). After deciding on the build I placed my order with CPU Solutions and almost immediately received a call from Todd. Todd explained to me that he had reviewed the build for compatibility and all was good. My PC shipped about a week later. Some companies actually charge extra for properly packing your machine, some companies also charge you for professionally wiring your PC. I received the PC properly packaged and when I removed the side panel to remove the foam padding inside the case was impressed with the wiring. It looked professionally built. Or should I say it looked like it was built by "Professionals". My build was an I7 4.0 Ghz, 32 Gig mem, 500 gig SSD with a 1 TB HD and a Geforce 970 4 Gig. Liquid cooled she is a beast. I don't know why anyone would buy from anyone but CPU Solutions, quality built, great customer care and great prices. I don't care if your novice or serious about your hardware these folks will do it right. They earned my loyalty on the first try. Thanks to all at CPU Solutions,...
