Thanks for sharing your experiences, 40winks & Marmany. Anyone else that has recently purchased new equipment or has a strong opinion, please add to this thread for the benefit of the community. Appreciate it!

1) There doesn't seem to be much in the way of online reviews for either EZ or Falcon, which makes this process somewhat challenging. In fact, I think much of what is supposed to be "independent" reads more along the lines of "sponsored" reviews / marketing. Based on the link to the ClayTrading article, the "scam" element refers to their products being overpriced relative to DIY or off the shelf solutions. I don't have the technical skill to do my own build and I haven't been able to find anything from the traditional manufacturers (Dell, Sony, Lenovo, etc.) with the specifications that I would like.

2) Falcon does indeed promote their skill in overclocking machines so I can see why that might have happened. Personally, I would rather pay a little more for a higher end machine rather than achieve the performance with overclocking and risk malfunction. Even with the 3 - 5 year warranties, it can be a painful experience to have your main machine out of service.
