Fine Tec Computer Wine, or woot vendor loot!

The delivery driver for our whitebox vendor came by earlier this week with three small boxes. A coworker looked at the boxes, looked at me and commented, "Nothing we ordered could fit in those boxes."

Turns out each box was a bottle of wine from the private celler of Fine Tec Computer (it's actually a nice bottle from Kendall Jackson with a custom label).

If you are in the Bay Area and need computers for a business, I would happily recommend Fine Tec. Prices are great. The warranty is great. They deliver. They will happily build very custom systems. The one warning I would give is that you need to double check that their suggested configurations will indeed meet your requirements.
