    Reach....

    ... Often I am suprised at how many people read HEXUS - and how many people it helps to make their buying decision.

    Today was another case in hand, I picked up a 24" Dell TFT last week due to wanting to go back to dual monitors. I paid an amazing price, it turned up, and for a number of reasons it needed RMAing straight away - it wasn't good enough.

    So yesterday I call up Dell, tell them the problem and today they swapped the screen out (infact at 9:30 this morning). The guy knocks on the door and asked my link to HEXUS (thats what I put down as company name). He spends the next 20 minutes telling me how he regularly reads the site, and how he picked a graphics card due to our review.

    Its great to know we make a difference.

    So what did you say to that then?

    "Yeah, I'm like the main man. The top dog."



    If I'm honest, I only know of one other person that I have met finding HEXUS themselves, and that was only because he guessed who I was on the forums. It'd be kind of strange if one of the forum members was your best friend or something, and you didn't even realise it.

    Well I've just pimped the hexus forum to a few of my friends as they are on video production courses at University and the showreel forum is a great addition that will no doubt help them no end.

    Must have been really weird that!

    And I ditto about the showreel and lifestyle. It covers everything any body wants. With some of the best management in terms of mods, people and interface.

    The reviews really are great (I love the new FF search ). As for other users, I've got a couple on here, it's quite weird when talking to them here referring to them by their username not real name.

    David, you should be like a rock-star in the UK. Go out to a club tonight and tell all of the chicks, "I am David from HEXUS.net. Who wants to romp?"

    cant believe there were several reasons why it needed to be RMA'd must of been pretty faulty

    - When i have been upgrading/fixing a PC's for people or a friends needs some buying advise i always mention Hexus and i normally ask if they have heard of it and its normally a "No". But really how can they not of heard of hexus ?!? back when i was building my PC earlier this year (before i joined hexus) every time i googled for some part for my build a dam link to this Hexus site would appear at the top of the search results !!
    At the time i found the reviews excellant! - They contained exactly what i wanted which was;
    Lots of detail,
    Images, decent one at that !! When looking at parts like cases or displays i like to see a nice big image of it and hexus did provide me with that.
    Honest opinions,
    Nicley written,
    and lots more ofcourse
