isnt it rather funny that the econopc webpage has been taken down ?www.econopc.com....last i heard this company has changed more names than 1 could keep track of..why would someone change the name of there company so many times ?would it be because they are nothing but a scam artist ripoff group of people juss out thee to make money and does not care who they ripoff to do so ?I think so ..otherwise why would a company change there name so many times ..due to all the bad publicity and reviews they get from such sites as these ..we the consumers thank all the people so much for sites like this so we can see about a company b4 we get ripped off ..THANK YOU

not only did econo rip me off money wise and by sending the wrong m/b ..after 1 year of running this ensamble they sent me .The m/b toasted and took the p4 2.4 gb 533 fsb 478 socket processor with it ...After aduring many searches and talking to many techs besides myself we have come to this conclussion to why thw m/b did not last...For the last year i have noticed a what seemed like a low power failure to the pc.Turns out the p4 478 processor takes a tad bit more power than the 423 processor. In doing the bridging of the 478 proc to the 423 m/b the processor was not recieving all the power(volts) it was designed for.P4 478 m/b's have a dual power plug to subside the needed xtra power needed ..the power supply i have has this plug but the m/b does not.So the proc and m/b was burned up cuz the m/b was not supplying the needed voltage that was recommended for the 478 proc ..and in due the processor was making the m/b work harder..in return burning them both up.thats our theory anyways..so i had to spend another 270 dollars for another 478 socket m/b and 2.4 gb proc ..wich is what i ordered from Econo in the first place..I shipped the m/b and processor to Econo cuz i was to have a 2 year warrenty on it ..they sent it bak to me and said this is not our problem.I am now adduing a lawyer against them for not honoring there warrenty..for total cost of there whole barebone i bought the money paid to them to test and shipping..and the price it cost for my new m/b and processor from there competition www.tigerdirect.com..who i would recommend any1 to go to ..but for Econo PC i recommend no 1 going to them for they dun honor there warrenty and they do as they please and not what the customers ask for..Not to mention they are very rude to wutt could have been a returning customer in the future ..No thanks ill stick wiff tiger from now on and i recommend every1 else to also.See you in court Econo PC..oh yeah bring ya check book wiff ya!!!!!!!
