The Systemax Commitment To Excellence
We know there's a number of PC makers that can build you a system. But building a great system is where the job really begins, and where Systemax starts to emerge as a different kind of PC company.

Consistent Manufacturing Quality
Systemax PCs are manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified facility. This certification guarantees the highest international standards possible for design, engineering, manufacturing and distribution. Each PC goes through stringent quality control checkpoints covering 180 items. We test every input, output, memory, cache, hard drive, disk drive, and processor component through multiple test cycles. This makes Systemax one of the most reliable systems available today.

Highest PC Value
Systemax PCs provide value without compromise. Systemax PCs deliver the latest technology at very affordable pricing, giving you much more value for your dollar.

Reliability, Compatibility, & Performance
We only use the highest quality components from leading manufacturers, including the most trusted names in the business. Brands such as: Intel, Microsoft, Western Digital, Seagate, Quantum, Micro-Star, Gigabyte, Creative Labs, 3COM, ATI, HP, Sony, and Altec Lansing. 

American Products and American Jobs
Systemax PCs are not made in some nameless plant in China.  Our PCs are manufactured at our facilities in Ohio, and shipped from our distribution center outside of Chicago.  Systemax chose to manufacture from its base in Fletcher, Ohio, to help hold the line and keep technology jobs inside the U.S.  Systemax also supports their products from their own support centers in America, not India or somewhere else.  So next time you look at a PC, look beyond the features to the place of manufacture, and the people that made it.  Which PC company is 100% American?  Systemax!

Every Systemax System undergoes extensive quality control in their ISO9001 certified factory.

Systemax PCs are manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified facility.

Systemax integrates the highest quality components into every PC they make!

Every Systemax PC is backed by American Support and the industry's best warranty.

Organizing disks into a redundant array decreases the total usable storage capacity. For instance, a 2-disk RAID 1 array loses half of the total capacity that would have otherwise been available using both disks independently, and a RAID 5 array with several disks loses the capacity of one whole disk. Other types of RAID arrays are arranged so that they are faster to write to and read from than a single disk.

There are various combinations of these configurations giving different trade-offs and benefits of protection against data loss, capacity, and speed. RAID levels 0, 1, and 5 are the most commonly found, and cover most of the typical requirements.

• RAID 0 (striped disks) distributes data across several disks in a way that gives improved speed at any given instant. If one disk fails, however, all of the data on the array will be lost, as there is neither parity nor mirroring.
• RAID 1 mirrors the contents of the disks, making a 1:1 (1 to 1) ratio real-time backup. The contents of each disk in the array are identical to that of every other disk in the array.
• RAID 3 uses a striped set with dedicated parity or bit interleaved parity or byte level parity.  This mechanism provides fault tolerance similar to RAID 5. However, because the strip across the disks is a lot smaller than a file system block, reads and writes to the array perform like a single drive with a high linear write performance. If one drive fails, the performance doesn't change.
• RAID 5 (striped disks with parity) combines three or more disks in a way that protects against data loss of any one disk. The storage capacity of the array is reduced by the capacity of the one disk (all disks are of equal size).
• RAID 6 (striped disks with dual parity) can recover from the loss of two disks.
• RAID 10 (or 1+0) uses both striping and mirroring. ("01" or "0+1" is sometimes distinguished from "10" or "1+0": a striped set of mirrored subsets and a mirrored set of striped subsets are both valid, but distinct, configurations.)
