- Does anyone know anything about this company and their service.
- I recently looked over one of their adds, and they have some of
- the least expensive 486 VLB systems I have ever seen. They
- appear to be made with quality components from the adds, and their
- warranty coverage is quite good too. If anyone has dealt with
- them, please e-mail me or post a response. (Good and bad inquires
- accepted). Thanks!

- I have ordered a computer from Zenon about a month ago. Their price
- was the lowest around for a VLB machine. They use good components as a
- general rule but you have to make sure that the other things are also
- good.
-
- So far their service has been O.K, yet it is not the greatest and
- sometimes I feel I have to force them to take the right corrective action.
- For example they sent me a mouse which was a very-low quality. They
- told me they would replace it with another brand and they ended up
- shipping me another-of-the-same. Now I am for a-really-another-one;
- The mid-tower case was low-quality:
- the drive bays were disabling the use of one of the ISA slots,
- the driver cable was too short and the FAN was noisy: I ended up
- upgrading to the Tower case.
-
- Oh ya and when you call to ask if they
- shipped they say "Yes" and later you find out that they didn't. But I
- guess everybody is doing that.
-
- Their tech-support is Toll-Free and that's good because sometimes it
- is really dificult to understand these guys (I think they are mostly
- asian), but I must say that they are trying to do their best.
-
- I am still testing the system (486 DX2-66). I will be loading it with
- OS-2 and linux in the next weeks. If people are interested in
- performance issues or any other things related to that system, I will
- post.
