Question: Why are your prices so much lower than others?
Answer: PriorityMachines.com sells high quality custom built computers. The difference between us and the big name computer makers is that our systems do not carry a big brand name on the case. Our computers are referred to as "white box computers" which are simply computers that do not carry a major brand name, and that means lower cost. This savings is achieved by eliminating the high cost of marketing, advertising required for the big name computer makers like Dell, Gateway and HP. And this cost difference is even more so with higher performance systems.
For entry level computers, sometimes the big brands can beat our prices - but be careful... but the components used in those systems are certainly of lower quality, and there is usually a catch...
You may have seen these marketing gimmicks before: "$299 for a new computer, complete with monitor!" Wow, sounds like a good deal - until you actually try to buy one of these systems. They usually come with some strings attached to get the price so low, such as: no operating system included, $299 after those dreaded mail-in rebates, refurbished equipment which is actually used, limit one per customer, 90-day parts-only warranty, required to sign up to a dial-up internet service for 2 years or longer... and often that advertised $299 was a 'Starting At' price. These are just some of the tactics other manufacturers use to come up with that low advertised price that you see. Plus, you better not be expecting a great deal if you try to customize that system - the low price is usually a loss-leader to lure customers into the store. And the upgrades are often overpriced, just like their higher-end systems which they steer you to.
Finally, even if you do manage to get that system in to your shopping cart at $299, you'll be faced with shipping charges that are marked up by as much as 300%! So be careful. Just don't lose sight of the fact that the easiest way a company can make money on these low end computers is to simply sell you a box of junk.
At PriorityMachines.com, we don't artificially lower our "Starting From" price. We have nothing to hide. While this might make our systems seem more expensive than some sale prices out there, once you've saved a quote for a PriorityMachines.com system and then compare it to a saved quote from the competition, you'll buy from us.
Our white box systems give you more features and more power at a lower price. Best of all, you still have full control over what components go into your computer. If you are looking for a simple computer for small children to play basic games on, and maybe do some web-surfing and email, then an inexpensive system will do just fine. And if you want a quality, powerful well-built machine for a reasonable price, at PriorityMachines.com you can have that too. You are in control.
Question: Tell me some more about White box Computers computers... and where do they come from?
Answer: White box Computer Systems are usually offered by local computer stores or franchises as a lower cost 'house brand' alternative to the big name computer makers. White box Computer Systems are made with the same high quality parts that the major brands use, and in many cases White box Systems have higher quality components. The local dealer will usually provide support for these systems as the purchaser of the computer is already the local dealer's client. And sometimes warranty and non-warranty support is provided through a national network of local computer professionals. This support model generally results in better customer satisfaction because quality and wait times are under the control of the local company rather than being outsourced to the cheapest overseas call center.
PriorityMachines.com is part of a national network of dealers, and by shipping with FedEx, we are able to extend our discount computer systems to the entire country. Our systems are manufactured and supported by Equus Computer Systems based in Minneapolis, and only highest quality components made by industry leaders are used so you can be confident that your new Nobilis system will give you years of trouble-free service. Plus, we offer on-site warranty service through our national network of dealers for a fraction of what the competition charges. The the same can't be said for most "discount" systems out there.
Question: How long until my purchase arrives at my door?
Answer: Normally your new computer is built to order and ready to ship from the factory in
3-5 business days. Then it is shipped by FedEx Ground and your order's exact shipping time will depend on where you live [see the map below].
But should you need your order sooner, you can upgrade your production schedule and shipping options. You will be given the following choices when you complete your online purchase:
Production Schedule: Normal: Ships in 3-5 business days. Cost = no charge. Expedited: Ships 2nd business day. Cost = $19 per unit. Critical: Ships next business day. Cost = $100 per unit.
Shipping Options: Please note that the exact shipping charges for your order depend on the weight of your order and your location. We do not mark up on shipping - your order ships for what FedEx charges us. The dollar amounts listed below are merely estimates on what it costs to ship one computer, and your exact price will vary: FedEx Ground: 1 to 7 business days - see the map below for exact times [$17 or so] FedEx Express Saver: 3 business days FedEx 2-Day: 2 business days FedEx Standard Overnight: 1 business day FedEx Priority Overnight: 1 business day by 10AM
Important Notes: You have a choice of how fast your system is built and also how long it takes to ship. The shipping charges are based on your distance from the nearest distribution center. All production schedule times commence upon credit approval. All orders must be processed by 5:00 PM Eastern Time to qualify for today. Orders may be delayed due to factors beyond our control. Your sole remedy in such cases is a refund of the order schedule premium. Orders for commercial leases should not be rushed, but if you wish to do so, the clock starts upon us being notified that the signed and approved lease documents are executed. The order clock starts only upon credit approval. The end of the day is 5:00PM Eastern time. Rush orders for servers are not guaranteed nor encouraged. We will use best faith efforts. Should we not deliver, we will notify you and immediately credit back the rush charges.
