Thanks.

All I know is that the company is connected to the OTK Youtube channel which is pretty big. I doubt its a scam.

Not a scam at all, but you're always better off just building it yourself. It's really not that hard.

LTT did a review of Starforge. There's also reaction/responses from some of the co-creators of Starforge taking on the criticisim and advice given.

 

They're not a scam, but you'd need to look into the value on the particular system you want.

They're as good as any pre-built company. Just doube check if all the cables are fully seated once you open it up. Other than that there were no big complaints in the LTT video.

 

And like always, you can save a substantial amount of money if you were to build it yourself.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

The company is also relatively new, so reviews may be scarce. Actually, using PcPartPicker, the price for the prebuilt is only about 100$ more than building it yourself, which is reasonable for a build fee.

Yea I saw that, after comparing it to other Prebuilt companies I thought that something was fishy because the price difference between prebuilt and building yourself being small compared to other companies

in a bad way or in a funny/good way?

 

Funny in a funny way tbh. Just alot of jokes but not really because anything was horrendous or anything. I would give it a watch regardless as it can't hurt to see a review of a the prebuilt company you are about to buy from.
