Sandpiper was the Buyer on December 22, 2005 Other/Unknown

I bought this via the Classifieds section at ABXZone.com.
I\'d like to thank polonyc2 10,000 times over for the following:
1. Having endless patience while I made up my mind whether or not to buy.
2. Answering all of my questions promptly and in detail.
3. Being so friendly, polite and professional throughout.
4. His honesty regarding a possible minor issue, i.e. front case fan. (I noticed no problem.)
5. Building a first-rate system in the first place. In addition to using quality components, his cable management was also excellent making for optimal airflow.

I received polonyc2\'s system on 21 Dec 2005. Everything was as described. In addition to the system, he included all the original manuals, CDs, extra cables, and even the original box for the P4C800-E Deluxe. I love original boxes and stuff.

For obvious security reasons, he wiped his drive before shipping. Note that in order to make it easy for me to quickly try out the system, polonyc2 went to the trouble of reformatting the drive, installing Windows, drivers, and even the latest Windows updates. I thought that was really going above and beyond. Anyway, I\'ve been putting the system through its paces, and it has performed beautifully.

I usually pick up used but quality components from friends, family, computer festivals, yard sales, etc. This was the first time I\'d ever bought anything via a forum, and thanks to polonyc2, it was a pleasure.
