Portatech is a great company for the novice or expert
Portatech is a great company. I've purchased 2 barebones systems and (just now) a processor/motherboard combo. Their prices are very competitive, and their website is incredibly easy to use (especially if you wish to build a system). You'll get performance comparisons, a large number of options, and the confidence that all the parts you buy will be compatible with each other. I will continue to do business with Portatech, and I have recommended them to my friends and family.
