Computer Systems

In addition to our custom built computers, we feature more affordable Acer Computer systems. Acer is one of the top 5 branded PC vendors (different sources rank them from 3 to 5), with 2004 revenues of over $7 billion. These systems are the best affordable systems we have found. Most of the low-end systems, even those from major manufacturers, have weak power supplies. These Acer's are made from excellent parts, even those that most buyers never even think about. It is possible to make really horrible computers with the latest processors, huge hard drives and gigabytes of RAM. These Acer systems have been extremely reliable in the field.

Naturally, these Acer systems come with all the VCC touches: update all the Windows files to the absolute latest versions, get your virus definitions completely up to date, move your important data from your previous computer and set up your email. No more lost data, email or address books simply because you got a new computer. Try getting that service from a fancy mail-order house!
