Computer upgrade SPECIAL (UPDATED!)

PC WAVE ALL IN ONE MOTHERBOARD WITH GIGAPRO CPU (SOUND, VIDEO, LAN)
CASE (YES, case included), FLOPPY, KEYBOARD, MOUSE

$150 tax in, install $50. Full payment upfront required (sorry).

This is a GREAT upgrade price for any old computers you have. HDD and other cards can transfer over.

RAM REQUIRED: SDRam, PC100, if you have a stick hanging around, we can try that. Otherwise, 256MB goes for around $60 tax in (Email me for exact price).

If you're interested, send Email to aaron@aysis.com, or PM me! This is valid only in the next few days, I think, so lemme know!

Offer ends Friday, May 2. Orders have to be in by Wednesday or latest Thursday.

That's the point, you can upgrade an OLD Pentium with this, and it's the cheapest upgrade. Although you'll likely need a new piece of RAM, about $60 for 256MB... But that's still just $210 and you're back in business!

The CPU is a VIA Gigapro. It's predecessor to the Cyrix chips. Nothing fancy, moreso to Celeron grade, but with much less heat and noise!

It's ideal for normal office/home use. Don't expect killer performance, but the idea of this chip is affordable upgrade and low power use, etc.

I still have to find out what RAM it uses, but it's likely just SDRam, but could be DDR 266.

I have to also find out if the case is really included ($30 value), the price list I have and special flyer contradict (DOH).

Special is on for all of next week, so more info for you guys Monday.

Ugh, not predecessor, descendent.

As for GPU, it's a savage 3D I suppose. Remember this is not an Athlon upgrade. For 2-3 times the price you can get a Duron/Athlon upgrade, but we're talking $150! No storage, reuse your HDD>

New case included... As I said $50 labour, all in $200. But I need to confirm case is in the deal. Case is only $30 anyway.

The only thing is you might need new RAM... I'm not trying to hide costs, but if your old comp has PC100 SDRam, it might work.

I'll have detail info on the board Monday.

Even the cheapest Celeron with the cheapest video card + a case will be well over $200, not including new RAM.

I think this is a great price for ppl who don't need the utmost HP in computer juice, but just need a more updated system with a reasonable upgrade price.

C'mon ppl, if you are interested, you'll need to jump on this quick. I need to place the orders in Thursday, and pick up the order Friday.
