Xi Computers, Mastercam page

They will build you anything you like
The are located in San Clemente
Standard warranty is 1 year parts and labor/lifetime customer support.

Boxx jerked me around on our last purchase so I though I'd try these guys out.
We saved about $600 and got 5 day delivery vs 4 weeks.


They don't offer more than 64mb memory for their laptops. Deal breaker for me. 128GB is the only way to use a computer for Mastercam anymore. If I am going to a Tower I will build it myself.

What is your budget for a machine?
I pinned a similar topic above this one that I made prior.

My boss said that after looking it appeared that I need a $25k priced computer. I told him that was way overkill for what I needed. Most of our parts would fit into a 3" cube but I do get the spectrometer parts and they are much larger. Right now I'm looking at Titan's x299 vulcan. I haven't gone through it all but right now it's showing $6472.25. I haven't searched for quality issues yet but the customer list looks impressive. Even Apple inc. is on the list.

Thanks, I'll look at that.

If you start doing bigger parts that don't fit, you can always buy a bigger monitor.
