I have purchased several systems though Monarch and I know of other people that have as well. Generally speaking it's a great company. They are an AMD partner and offer a great website for building a custom whitebox. The negative experiences that people have had are about getting support -- especially phone support. If you are expecting someone to help over the phone should you encounter any glitches then just make sure your expectations are set appropriately. The configuration tools are especially helpful for making sure that you have compatible memory and fans for CPU(s) and the CPU(s) are indeed compatible with the mobo. It's also important to insure that the fans are compatible (i.e. there's enough space) with the enclosure (especially for rack mount or small enclosures). For my own systems I now check compatibility myself and simply order all the parts (from various places). This 100% self-support approach may not be appropriate for a commercial deployment, however.
