Maximum PC: For a limited time, boutique system builder AVADirect is shaving $50 off the price of certain "Quickship" model notebooks. The discount applies to custom-built Clevo-based models, of which there are several (nine, to be exact), and is good on configurations that are over $1,350. Quickship notebooks are configurable, though AVADirect removes the option of choosing specific brands of hardware in exchange for faster ship times (Quickship models ship within 5 business days).

We're right there with them -- not from an investment standpoint, but from the perception of a fan, as we've played around with some awesome VR demos. Looking to give the category a nudge, Ohio-based boutique builder AVADirect today announced a pair of desktops designed in collaboration with Sixense for the latter's Stem System.
Maximum PC: AVADirect, the boutique system builder based in Ohio, is now offering Supermicro FatTwin 4U server solutions with up to Intel Octa-Xeon processing and dedicated GPU options. The FatTwin uses a four-blade form factor that can be stuffed with high-end hardware, depending on what you're trying to accomplish. According to AVADirect, the FatTwin is adept at a number of different tasks, including complex calculations, video rendering, 3D modeling, simulation, multi-virtual machine environments, hosting, and more.
Not a huge discount but a penny saved is a penny earned.
