Richmond, Va – July 11, 2005 - Velocity Micro™, a leading North American manufacturer of high performance PCs, announced today that it will have systems for sale in select Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) stores starting this week. This partnership represents the first push into retail for the upscale computer builder, which had previously sold systems exclusively through the company's website, 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."
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 offerings will include systems with NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) SLI (Scalable Link Interface) technology and will soon extend to dual core processor systems from both Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) and Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD).
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. “Our brands combine to offer market leadership in the PC category to Best Buy,” Copeland said.
