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.

The Best Value!

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (See The New Law!)

Here’s some great news for our customers who want to cut the costs of sending their kids to college!

Under the new American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009,  taxpayers who buy PCs for their children in 2009 and 2010 can claim those Desktops, Notebooks, and Netbooks as qualified higher education expenses.

The Act defines computer-related qualified expenses as any expense incurred for buying any computer technology and equipment, as well as Internet access and related services as long as the equipment and technology is used by the student and the student’s family during any of the years the student is enrolled at an eligible educational institution.

All of you who have college-aged kids know that tuition costs have skyrocketed – so this additional perk is a welcome benefit.  This tax break is only in effect through 2010, so those who have children in college or kids ready to start school in September need to start shopping for new PCs now!

• High Capacity USB Thumb Drives:
  USB Thumb Drives are now available in sizes as large as 64GB (soon to be even more).  While the USB interface is somewhat slow, these make an ideal solution for their small compact size.  Thumb drives are perfect for storing in files, or other compact spaces.  While their cost per GB is somewhat high, their convenience, USB interface, size, and extremely light weight, make them a very attractive option.

• External Hard Drives
  Now you have a wide variety of options for external hard drives.  1TB (Terabyte) External Drives are now available for less than $200.00.  External drives come in a wide range of sizes, speeds, and interfaces.  They are available with USB (the slowest), Firewire (medium speed), and SATA/eSATA (the fastest). 
  
  When selecting an external drive, it is important to consider how you will use the drive, and the interface limitations of your computer.  If you have a laptop that only has USB ports, this would be your best (possibly only) option.  If you have USB & Firewire, get a drive that has Firewire for the performance boost.  If your system has a SATA or eSata port, get a drive with this option - it will give you true hard drive to hard drive performance. 
  
  However, also consider where you might need to restore the data.  USB is the most universal, in that almost all systems have USB ports.  If your system dies, and you need to restore your data, this may be your most important consideration.
  
  One last consideration is to keep your backup drive continuously connected, or only connect it during backups.  The general idea of backups is to have a copy of your data in case your system fails - which they do.  But you may also want secure protected backups in a safe or safe deposit box.  Regardless, external hard drives offer an outstanding solution for backing up your data, and the cost per GB is quite low.

• Hard Drive Docks (Toasters)
  An incredibly simple, yet functional new product category emerged in 2008: Hard Drive Toasters (Hard Drive Docks).  This device lets you plug in regular internal hard drives as though they were pop-in flash drives.  You drop in your hard drive, and the dock instantly gives your system access to that drive, without wiring, or power connections - it's all done by the hard drive toaster.  This way you can use any compatible hard drive as an external removable hard drive for backup purposes!

• Online Backup
  Still another option is to use an online backup service.  These come in two forms:
  
       • Backup to another computer over the Internet
       • Backup to a central server using the Internet
  
  The first of these can work very well, and automatically backups when you are online.  The Microsoft OneCare service is one example.  It can backup your data from your system to another in your OneCare account across the Internet automatically, regardless of where you are.
  
  The second involves trusting your critical data to someone else's servers, and usually no real guarantee that your data will always be there.  If they loose your data, they just refund your fee.  This service may be fine for a couple of letters, but business critical data needs to be accessible forever.  For this reason, you are better advised to look to a hardware solution that you control.
   
• Backup Software
  Many products come with backup software included, such as External Hard Drives, and Antivirus products like CA Security Suite.  Most offer excellent features for automated backups.  But remember, backup software and devices, are only as good as your willingness to use them!  So backup regularly, and backup often.
