Dear Mario and Pete:

I can't thank you enough for the new Overdrive PC™ Torque.64 computers. All 10 are up and running in the Training Center and the responses from students has been overwhelmingly positive.

Graphic artists, animators and special effects artists as well as architects and anyone involved with CAD need the most up-to-date hardware to support their software packages. Overdrive PC offers the finest, most powerful computer systems I've seen to date for considerably less money than the competition.

Overdrive PC designed the perfect computer system for our application. Not only are these computers a joy to have in our classroom for their speed and power, but also they are the quietest, most dependable machines we've ever owned. We are very pleased that we can now offer our students these high-end systems in our training center.

Mario and Pete are a joy to work with. Overdrive PC is the place for the serious computer buyer.

Once again, thank you for your assistance and the great computers.

"We've actually stopped using mainframes in the past couple of years due to the capacity of Overdrive PC™-type systems and the responsiveness they provide. Overdrive PC really knows how pack some punch into their systems. And, because it's so fast, I can accomplish much more in a shorter period of time."

"The Overdrive PC™ Torque.Pro is a rocket! It has been up and running for a year without a single second of downtime or performance loss. Overdrive PC has a ‘what can we do now that will protect our investment as far ahead into the future as we can' attitude. We have at least ten times the performance of other centers. With all the additional demands we put on our server, it never runs over 10% utilization and we have plenty of room to grow for a long time to come. And hospital administrators like the long service life, low service costs, and not being petitioned for upgrades to keep up with escalating technology."

Hey, my name is John Hill. People in the gaming world know me by the alias ZeRo4. I played Quake 3 professionally for over five years. The last few years I've taken a hiatus from gaming, focusing on college. I finally can't wait any longer; it is time to get back into gaming. I have always played with the highest performing rig possible so the first thing I did was research the best computers on the market. My extensive search ended at Overdrive PC. I recently purchased one of their machines and have been playing on it for a little over two weeks. Over my years playing quake, I have bought, built and won numerous PCs including two White Boxes, two Microns, a Dell and an Alienware. None of those compares to what OPC delivered at my doorstep.

It is hard to explain, you have to see one to believe it. In a nutshell, an Overdrive PC is custom taken to the nth degree. The first thing I did with my computer was open it up and look at the insides. It was beautiful. Instead of a hundred different wires arrayed in every different direction, Overdrive PC does an amazing job in keeping everything neat and organized. I couldn't believe that I was actually looking at a desktop PC. I love their custom cables - solid and beautiful.

Need the speed? I've had "Top of the Line" PC's before, but this is something outrageously different. My initial boot was less than 15 seconds. One thing I hated when I bought other brand name PCs was all the useless programs infiltrating my system. My OPC computer was completely stripped. I didn't have to go into msconfig or the registry and delete a bunch of junkware preloads. Next I wanted to test how fast the machine was. I installed Quake3 and that ran brilliantly but that game is kind of old. Next I loaded up World of Warcraft. After maxing every setting I was shocked. I felt like I was playing a different game when compared to my last pc.

I have to admit that I was a little worried about the hyperclocking that OPC heralds as their trademark. In the past, I have stayed away from any PC that had been overclocked. I had heard too many horror stories from my gaming friends about burnt out motherboards and crashes happening at the worst time. I am happy to report that I have not had a single problem with this machine. There has not been one hiccup or delay for anything. I have never owned a machine so fast and clean. The only downside to this computer is I'm going to have to dish out a few more grand to buy another Overdrive PC when my obsession requires the "need for more speed".

I purchased the computer to replace my old Dell XPS. While the product is certainly expensive and high end, the quality of the products, the low volume, high customer focus of Overdrive, and amazing support make the high price a real value. Despite the 'boutique' nature of the company, I was still able to get excellent tech support last weekend after an issue I encountered. Within the space of a few emails, we had diagnosed the problem and a replacement part was sent the next business day. Having spent hours and hours on the phone with Dell's India based color-by-numbers tech support this was a breath of fresh air. Oh and by the way, the machine is SOOOOOO FAST. I look forward to many years of quality computing, video editing and gaming on my box.

I have never dealt with a more professional and sincere computer retailer, in my 25 years of building and buying systems! They honestly want to provide you with the best system for your budget. Every person that I have talked to that works there has this same attitude and focus. I'm not just blowing smoke here! I never get this passionate about reviews but I feel a company that is this far above the rest needs to be recognized and commended.

They could have easily made more money on my sale but they explained that I would be better off (due to various reasons) buying some items locally.

Their hardware quality and workmanship surpass anything that I have seen before. I GOT MUCH MORE SYSTEM THAN I WAS EXPECTING! You can tell they love what they do. These days you can find cheaper systems but you will not get as much value for your money.
