“I ordered a computer from Top Flight Computers and I’m states away so it unfortunately something must have happened during shipping and it didn’t start up when I got it. It was packaged really well for shipping so I don’t think it was the company’s fault, but they were really helpful through the whole process and paid for someone local to me to take a look at it and get it working.
I have really loved my PC, my biggest complaint is likely that for my new job I don’t get to use it, because they want us to work on the equipment provided for us. I enjoy doing various types of CG work but I really don’t know anything about hardware or building a computer, so this company was a really good option for me.
The people are really kind and knowledgeable and I’m glad that when my computer showed up they didn’t make me feel stupid for not knowing how to diagnose the issue.
At the end of the day I was paying someone else to build my PC instead of learning to myself because I just don’t know anything about it, but a lot of times people who are knowledgeable about tech can be really pretentious and frustrating to communicate with for people who just aren’t.
Top Flight’s employees weren’t like this at all – they were kind and helpful through my fumbling. I didn’t feel taken advantage of either with my lack of knowledge, and I asked for a really weird range of uses because there’s a lot I enjoy doing at a hobby level but only some work I do at a professional level (I’m a modeler professionally but dabble in a lot of 3d skillsets) and no one was rude about that with me.
Since specialization is common professionally with CG, if you get a know-it-all type person they can be rude about a CG artist who does a little bit of this and a little bit of that, but the Top Flight employees were all fantastic.”
