High End PCs to Enhance Gaming and In-store Experience for Best Buy
Customers RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Velocity
Micro(TM), a leading North American manufacturer of high
performance PCs, announced today that it will have systems for sale
in select Best Buy stores and on BestBuy.com in September. This
partnership represents the first push into retail for the upscale
computer builder, which had previously sold systems exclusively
through the company's website, http://www.velocitymicro.com/. "We
are excited to provide our enthusiastic PC customers with a great
retail partner to experience first hand the difference our
computers offer in immersive game play and powerful multimedia
capabilities," said Randy Copeland, President & CEO of Velocity
Micro. "We want to give Best Buy shoppers an upscale computer
selection to accompany the terrific service and advice they are
accustomed to today." The boutique player moves into retail at a
time when it is experiencing tremendous growth, thanks in large
part to its continued success in high end segments of the PC
marketing: gaming, digital media, and high performance desktops. As
a launch partner with Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE:AMD), NVIDIA
(NYSE:NVDA), and Intel (NYSE:INTC) on all major product releases in
the past two years, Velocity Micro stays ahead of the curve in
integrating new technologies into its PCs. Velocity Micro's hand
built systems combine rare performance components and quality
construction to yield the fastest and most powerful computers in
the industry. Initial Best Buy store offerings will include systems
with NVIDIA (NYSE:NVDA) graphics processors and high performance
processors from Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE:AMD). Systems at
BestBuy.com will feature NVIDIA SLI (Scalable Link Interface)
technology and will soon extend to dual core processor systems from
both Intel (NYSE:INTC) and Advanced Micro Devices. Velocity Micro
enjoys an unprecedented reputation for excellence in gaming and
enthusiast circles. The system builder distinguishes their
computers from the mass produced brands with the use of the very
latest technology in hardware components, attractive anodized
aluminum cases, a meticulous assembly and wiring process, and
thorough testing and benchmarking of each computer before shipping.
"Offering Velocity Micro's award winning, premium PCs in stores
gives Best Buy market leadership in the PC category and adds to
their reputation as the leading consumer electronics retailer,"
Copeland said. "We look forward to the opportunity to grow
together." About Velocity Micro, Inc. Velocity Micro, Inc. is the
