    I can't even begin to express how amazing this guy is. I placed an order with another reseller in a Aero 15x but I just felt bad in my nether regions and cancelled it. I also tried to use PayPal with a secons reseller and due to being deployed it was a massive pain in the arse. It wouldn't go through and I couldn't get them to just invoice and they blew me off.

    I read this form here to find HIDEvolution and I am completely amazed and the level of care I received from @Donald@HIDevolution it is rarely seen these days.

    The new rig is in my sig and excited doesn't even begin to explain it. I wanted a gaming rig but it's mostly for building my pen testing environment and working on various projects.

    Shoot me a message, I am curious to get my system built with your tweaks. I did have a clean OS install done on it.

    I don't do PMs for chatting or any one to one personal talk. It is purely to get your TeamViewer ID/Pass, get the tweaking done which can take anywhere from 2-4 hours, then the private message expires.

    Do you have your machine with you already? If not, simply tag me when you get it by using the @sign before my name otherwise I wouldn't know what you're posting, I just happened to stumble upon this message accidentally today

    Ok...thanks. My machine has been shipped yet, it was on pre-order. I just wanted to read through the instructions to see if it was outside what I normally do so I can prepare @Phoenix

    @Phoenix Is there a thread that I can read that shows what you do? I wanted to read up prior to getting the laptop. It should be shipping out soon.

    @Phoenix I have received my laptop. I did have the clean install done at HIDEvolution so I would love to get the information from you with what you recommend.

    Thanks man, I did some of the tweaks and skipped some others. Off the top of your head @Phoenix which one makes the font a bit blurry? I may go back and enable that one as I like nice crisp fonts. I did pick up your recommended AV. Gonna play with Snort tonight and then get all my VM's set up to continue my journey to OSCP.

    Is your signature your new rig? Also can you please post the total cost if applicable. This post just feels like it a little incomplete with information is all.
    And setting up VM for OSCP? I'm guessing you are doing cyber security introduction like my cousin.

    For the past month I have been trying to buy an Asus Zenbook Pro from Mexico no less. The whole process was a miserable fail that was keeping me awake at night.... until I happened across this forum yesterday. Today i ordered my ZB Pro from Ted Kim at HIDevolution.The whole process was quick, painless and absolutely without stress. Tonight I am going to sleep like a baby :sleep:
