  Thanks for building an AMD machine. I'd like to support AMD for their efforts to support the open source community with open source video drivers. Thanks.

  I just got my Limbo 6220 and it was easy to set up and get going. I will be buying more for our computer lab if it continues to work this well.

  This is a great machine. I need a big box, nothing complicated, just something that would work without me having to tweak it. So far, so good. I got it a while ago and it looks like it will just work. For once, a computer I don't have to tweak. Thanks you guys.

  I purchased a Limbo 6000A, which is no longer in production. Except for my first computer, bought in 1993, I've built all of my desktop machines (about 15) until this one. I bought from ZaReason because they put in the legwork to assemble a fully Linux-compatible machine for a good price. The 6000A is very fast and suitable for large compiles. The motherboard is populated with polymer capacitors rather than electrolytics, saving me the future trouble of recapping the board. The 6000A is rather quiet and stays reasonably cool--CPU below 45C--even when all four cores are at 100%. The construction is clean, the case is solidly built, and the cables are carefully routed. ZaReason built the machine and shipped quickly, even verifying my shipping address, which differed from my credit card billing address, within hours of the order. I installed Slackware on the machine with a custom kernel. The kernel found all of the hardware without any trouble--no tweaking needed. I expect to be buying from ZaReason again.

  I purchased one of these Limbo 6220A with an FX8350, Nvidia GT 640 graphics card, and 16 GB of RAM on February 27, 2013 running Ubuntu 12.10. It didn't arrive at my home until March 11, 2013. It's working now, I think. However, it took three days to get it to that point. During that three day period, I received help from Tony, the CTO. Before that, I got help from Iqbal, the CFO regarding my order prior to shipping. I'm sure these folks excel at their respective jobs, however, they're not much when it comes to customer service.
  
  To ZaReason upper management and ownership ... hire a competent customer service rep or two, it'll go a LONG way.
  
  Anyway, Tony didn't provide me with any proof that he fully understood my problem and therefore, it was no surprise that he couldn't help me fix the issues that caused the system failure. Long story short, I figured out how to solve the problem, the system works now, and I'm happy with it. I just wish the customer service I had would've eased my nerves as opposed to tightening them.
  
  At one point during the process (and I still feel this way a little bit now) I expressed that I felt swindled and Tony glossed over that as if it had been expected.
  
  My advice to others purchasing from ZaReason ... go ahead and do it, but know that the options available don't all necessarily play nice with one another. Also, set aside some time two weeks after you order in order to troubleshoot various issues when you receive the computer.
  
  Would I buy from ZaReason again ... I doubt it. :(
