    Quantex Microsystems was a direct-PC manufacturer based in Somerset, New Jersey,


    founded in 1984. Although it never matched the sales volumes of the largest PC
    retailers, their products met wide acceptance by customers. It filed for Chapter
    11 bankruptcy protection on August 17, 2000, when its key supplier, Fountain
    Technologies, who also supplied computers for the Pionex, Inteva, and CyberMax
    brands, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
    Quantex computers were built to a high standard, and regularly won awards in many
    computer publications. Even up to the point that they filed for Chapter 11, the
    awards were still being dealt out. The attraction for many was that Quantex
    combined high build quality, great technical support (before the financial
    trouble), brand-name components and above all lower cost than most rivals.
    Quantex's European operations were taken care of in the Stevenage, UK. The UK
    operation continued for several months after the US company declared bankruptcy,
    and were easily contactable during that period. The inevitable happened, though,
    and Quantex UK slipped away. In 2001, a company called Quantex Computers UK Ltd.
    started to advertise in UK computer magazines, based at the same location as the UK
    office of the original Quantex Microsystems but denying any links to the old
    company. They disappeared after only a few months, and their website was
    maintained for a year or so after that by a third party.
