CAN SOMEONE HELP ME SEE WHAT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mutuan (talk • contribs) 21:16, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

is it beter now ? Thank you for the help. --Mutuan (talk) 04:11, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

There are a few things that I'd like to bring to attention:

"The Blackbird 002 is considerably costlier than other high-end PCs." There is an article in Games or Windows about the Ultimate Gaming Machine that quotes the Falcon at $12,000.

"Another complaint has been that the unit comes with a skimpy one year parts and labor warranty, unusual given its steep price tag." Is there a citation for this?

"The Blackbird is also competing with more dedicated gaming companies such as Alienware and Falcon Northwest." How is Alienware and Falcon more dedicated? Is there a citation?

"Many buyers had problems during the first weeks of this computers release. There have also been reports of slow replacement parts, and small out of the box issues." Are there any citations or references to this statement?

If there are no references or citations to any of these, could I please remove?

I also edited the summary section because there is incorrect information regarding the timeline of the Blackbird 002 and the acqusition of VoodooPC.

Thank you! Sfan highroad (talk) 23:57, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
