STANDARD FEATURES
Fastest Assembly and Shipping in the Industry
On average it takes WidowPC engineers about five to ten business days
to assemble your custom made gaming computer. That is the fastest
standard assembly time any where in the world for a customer gaming
computer.
Long Term Warranty, Standard, with Every Desktop
WidowPC is one of the only gaming computer companies that deliver a three year
parts and labor warranty, standard, with every desktop shipped. WidowPC is also
one of the only companies that provide a life time tech support warranty. To
us these warranties are a symbol of our commitment to our product and customer.
We don't just build high quality computers, we also build high quality
relationships. The long lasting warranty establishes a relationship between
WidowPC and the customer because we give the customer access to the highest levels
of management and one point of contact. When you purchase a WidowPC gaming computer,
you receive your own assigned sales rep and customer service rep, each with their
own phone extension number. You are a person, not a number, and we care about
you.
Tsunami Gaming Case by Thermaltake
 This award winning case truely matches the hardware it holds...exceptional. As we
would expect from Thermaltake, the case has extremely high performance thermal
characteristics and multiple clean features. Clean features examples include
washable, carbon filtered air intakes to reduce dust build up inside the system,
an included anti-static dust cloth and an anti-eletromagnetic emission (EMI)
spring which reduces the EMI noise created by the system to improve data reliability.
The mid tower, low-profile form factor allows for upgradeability and
ease of access while not taking up too much space. Add to that, the case comes
key secured with a Kensington lock to protect those valuable parts from wandering
hands at LAN parties, in dorm rooms, and other areas where high end hardware
is likely to walk off.
The motherboard: K8NE Deluxe by Asus
WidowPC hit a home run with the selection of the K8NE Deluxe.
Representing motherboard engineering at its best, the performance of K8NE
Deluxe is not for the faint of heart.
Enjoy the latest games with most visual effects; go ahead with the most graphics
demanding multimedia utilities. Don't worry, this mobo is good enough for you,
the question is, are you game enough for K8NE Deluxe.
SATA Bang Onboard
The Asus K8NE Deluxe supports next-generation SATA hard drives based on the
new SATA 3Gb/s storage specification. Furthermore, the chipset has two dedicated
SATA controllers delivering more scalable performance and doubles the bus
bandwidth for fast hard drive data retrieval and saves.
Overclocking Inside
Inject "nitrous oxide" into your CPU! The patented AI NOS� (Non-delay Overclocking
System) technology intelligently detects system load and automatically boosts
performance for the most demanding tasks. Unlike other dynamic overclocking techniques,
AI NOS� reacts much faster to satisfy your unending need for speed.
Connected, Intelligent and Secure
The integrated dual Gigabit LAN design allows a PC to serve as a network
gateway for managing traffic between two separate networks. This capability
ensures rapid transfer of data from WAN to LAN without any added arbitration
or latency.
ASUS AI NET2 remotely detects cable connection the second you turn on the system,
and any faulty connections are reported back up to 100 meters at 1 meter accuracy. Add
to all that,
the NV Firewall provides professional-grade traffic inspection capabilities,
instant on protection, advanced management features and is easy to use and setup
via a user friendly wizard.

PCI Express Graphics
With
double the bandwidth of AGP 4X, PCI Express allows developers to manage scenes
efficiently with complex geometries, and dynamically switch to new scenes
in real time, improving the overall performance of today's fast-paced "fly-through" applications
and games.
Increased performance yields significant improvements for complex visualizations,
allowing for more realistic graphics environments.

CUSTOMIZABLE FEATURES
Athlon FX Processor with Hyper-Threading
 AMD's innovative Athlon 64 FX processors allow for unprecented performance
and flexibility. The Widow takes part of it's name from
the FX technology embedded in these amazing chips. The FX series
Athlon 64 is not only sports a native 64 bit architecture that
is completely compatible with 32 bit applications but it is also
specifically designed to dominate games. The FX chips also allow for greater
flexibility in over clocking.

Windows XP Operating System with Service Pack 2 + CD and Manual
WidowPC provides the full operating
system with registration codes, shrink wrapped CDs and the Windows
manual. A recovery disk with all of the necessary drivers is also
included, just in case you want to start from scratch. Note that
this is impossible with Alienware and several other competitors
as they do not provide the full operating system but only a "recovery
disk"
or "respawn kit" with an image of the hard drive as it was installed
on your computer. So, if they installed it wrong, you are stuck. Additionally,
there is no way to customize your own installation or install with different
hardware other than your original installation configuration.

from Windows XP Home or XP Pro]
Video Card Selection
ATI x800 is an amazing performer and has proven itself to be one of the
most reliable, hassle-free video cards even made. At our basic
need level, gamers just want to have fun and fighting wierd errors
and dealing with headaches, ain't what we call fun. This is why
ATI x800 256MB video card not only delivers the performance we
crave but also has taken a majority of the video card market. No
problems. Just game.
ATI's "Ruby" Demonstrating Radeon Lighting Effects --
and what to do if you are being chased by lots of fireThe Widow delivers cutting edge graphics technology through
the ATI and nVidia video card line ups. Here is a quick guide to
help you decide which card is right for you.
- Best bang for the buck: ATI Radeon x800 256MB or nVidia 6800 GT 256MB.
The nVidia 6800 GT is just a tiny bit faster overall but experienced
some maddening technical glitches with several games when it
first came out. New drivers have solved those problems, but we
still give the nudge to the Radeon x800 as the one with the most
dependable record.
- Fastest AGP cards: ATI Radeo x850
256MB or Nvidia 6800 ULTRA 256MB

High Definition Sound
 Humans
are so sensitive to sound that the military is now using sonic
weaponry for crowd control. So, you video heads who tend to overlook
the importance of sound effects in gaming--LISTEN UP! Current games make
use of cutting edge sound effect technology to completely immerse the gamer.
Sound effects are so effective that blind
people can now play first person shooters. WidowPC has now made 8
channel surround sound standard with each gaming computer we ship.
What
can you do about it? Build your system with one of the Sound Blaster
Audigy 2 ZS options we offer for an unparalleled acoustical nirvana.
There's nothing like hearing a
monster lap up it's victims blood or hearing the footsteps of your
enemy as he walks into your trap in 24 bit, 8 channel surround
sound.
[Select
your sound card here ] Crucial DDR Memory
WidowPC only uses Crucial RAM
in our gaming desktops and towers. This increases
performance over the generic ram our competitors use, as well as
greatly decreasing the probability of memory failure. When choosing
RAM for heavy demand applications like 3D gaming, always stick
with a high quality brand. It saves money in the long term and significantly
increases performance.
[Configurable
from 512 MB to 4 GB]
Big Power Supply
 God
bless Old Glory on the 4th of July, we're Americans. And Americans
like big stuff. Especially when makin it big means better performance
for competition. Lots of excess power in a power supply is more
than just macho, though. It means you've got plenty of reserve
to handle the demand spikes associated with massive video cards
and screaming processors. With the Widow you get to choose
between two of the most powerful power supplies on the
market, including the Antec TruPower 550W and the Thermaltake
400W with thermal control functionality.
