Boutique builders employ an endless array of customizations to win over customers who don’t have the time or desire to piece together a PC. But enthusiasts in the know still want to feel like they're getting a fair deal. Can AVADirect demonstrate value?

Results: 3DMark And PCMark

Boasting a trio of GPUs, the System Builder Marathon box plows through 3DMark, leaving no margin for lesser-equipped machines to compete. Although 3DMark scores aren't always representative of real-world gaming, it's a compelling finish in favor of a very gaming-oriented system purpose-built to tear up our benchmark suite.

PCMark surprises us by showing little gain in storage performance for AVADirect’s RAID configuration. Larger SSDs operating on their own fare better in the storage suite.
