I loved their desktops, but a word of warning - their ordering mechanism is BROKEN, and they can't seem to fix it. It takes forever to get an order through. They're pretty good other then that and the fact that they don't document well what they're selling you. If I got another laptop it would not be through Quantex. If I got another pre-built desktop it probably would be.
