Very happy with Vadim. After reading around on the forums decided to go with Vadim due to the well-made machines, customer support and aesthetics.
Machine arrived very well-packaged with no signs of damage. Only problem was CMOS must have been reset during transit, but a quick reply from the maker Richard got the machine back to the overclocked settings.
Excellent PC - well-made, quiet, impressive water-cooling and fast. Seems to run Crysis pretty well at 1900x1200 with most of the settings on very high (but without AA).
Nothing bad to say about it. Only criticism is that the building time selected was "10-20 working days", and the ETA was immediately set to 20. Perhaps the site should just say 20 days. The machine was delayed a few more days due to a problem with the graphics card, but I was given a free upgrade from the Nvidia GeForce 8800GTX OC to the 8800GTX OC2 (626 vs 600 Mhz overclocked) to compensate for this.
Pre and post sale support was very good, with any questions being answered same day (provided asked before 4pm-ish).
Overall, top marks !
