Falcon Computer

[Tradewinds 12]

I just discovered Falcon Northwest computers. I did a search in Trader's Laboratory and found a few posts about Falcon computers, but the posts were from a few years ago. If you are interested, just search on "Falcon Computers" and you will find their site. I like the look of their "Frag Box".

 

Does anyone own a Falcon computer? How would you rate it?

The Falcon Mach V uses either the ASUS MAXIMUS IV EXTREME (REV 3.0) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard

 

Newegg.com - ASUS MAXIMUS IV EXTREME (REV 3.0) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard

 

or the:

ASUS P8P67 DELUXE (REV 3.0) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

 

Newegg.com - ASUS P8P67 DELUXE (REV 3.0) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

 

I could just buy either of those myself, and use the same CPU's as they do. I wonder how much I'd save in labor costs. The thing is, Falcon has surely worked out what all the BIOS settings, compatibility issues, etc should be.

The Falcon Frag Box uses the:

 

ASUS P8P67-M PRO (REV 3.0) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

 

Newegg.com - ASUS P8P67-M PRO (REV 3.0) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

 

It looks like Falcon is using Kingston HyperX Memory for the hi end option.

Falcon seems to prefer the Silverstone power supplies:

I've always been a fan of Custom Trading Solutions. I won't give a URL here since I don't want to appear promotional (promise no affiliation!) but years back I used to use "off the shelf" systems from the usual assortment of characters - Dell, HP, etc... always ended up with serious issues. Switched to these and haven't looked back. Just find them much more stable and better tuned to the needs of a trader.

I can find a company named Cobra Trading Computers, which is in the U.S. I also found a computer company named EZ Trading Computers.

Cobra is right - I think they did some rebranding but same company.
