Does anyone have experience with smaller PC builders like Xi computer out of california or Velocity Micro out of Virginia? Is the domestic tech support package and QC protocols advertised real benefits or just marketing? Need to purchase a mobile workstation and there is a certain appeal to the customization and support. Or should I stick to Dell or Lenovo or HP or something?

IMHO the main benefit of a big name is they keep their workstation platforms 'certified' with major CAD and analysis software packages. Also IMHO having a 'certified' system configuration is only beneficial if there is a bug then they will actually invest a little bit of time to resolve it.

If having a workstation that is not certified is OK with you, I agree keep focusing on real-world experiences with their support teams.
