To anyone that has bought one of the MAXX PC's from the mag or this site, are they reliable? I'm thinking bout getting the last one in the latest mag. Is it worth it.... looking at the specs, I'd say it is. But I don't own one so I can't say.

Do any of you own a MAXXX PC?

I ordered a MAXX for a female friend of my dad's who needed a new home computer. Its bleedin fast!

I was very impressed, and I think when I own SR I will have a MAXX PC.

(the first bit was true, the bit about me owning SR was just a dream).

Im waiting for next year for the big processors and new graphics cards comes out, maybe even a drop in price for PC's!

I've had a MAXX 266 for a "number of years" and its never missed a beat. Now that I've moved on to my Iridium Laptop I have passed my trusty 266 over to my Dad. So now he too has become a proud MAXX owner and MAXX enthusiast. He's even talking about joining the MAXX PC owners club!

Of course I'm not admitting to ever using these items as I don't quite understand Microsoft Logic e.g. put the cursor there and stripe over forward and hey presto it stripes over backwards. Looking under mouse does not reveal how this backward fault occurs. or e.g. man arrives on screen and waves arms at you, completely interrupting complex thought process, just to tell you he has been trundling around on the internet without you permission and has found some new bits with techy-sounding unheard-of names, which may, or may not, work on your computer, but which can be guaranteed to be totally irrelavent, at best.

But - both the MAXX and the Iridium look nice in the corner of the room, and occasionally the kids need them for homework (as if it didn't take long enough already).

Don't know if htey still have it (I presume they do), but when I ordered (online), you could mix & match certain aspects (sound card, graphics card, modem etc.) using radio buttons - removing what you didn't want.
