BRAND NEW PRODUCTS AGAIN! we now have steady
supplies of a fantastic "Gamers" Case. The "RAIDMAX"
Cases are available right now in Blue (our
favorite), Red, Silver & Black. They are
on sale now so don't hesitate to come in

The other hot news this week is that Janice finally got
her own way and we now have our very own super-duper
drinks machine so any visit to our Showroom
is now greeted with "Would you like a
coffee?" and, before you ask, Yes, it
is free for anybody who wants one! So is a
seat on our now famous "Sofa" .

New
York, New York ! The fast-paced
world of computer sales in Wetherby Town was
getting a bit too much for our Janice so she hopped
on a plane to New York for a few days rest
and peace including a helicopter flight all
around the place and a visit to a Gay Pride
Festival (?). The official story was that she
was meeting with Microsoft about a new licensing deal but we know the truth. Oviously,
the pics have to go on here - sorry !!

Friday 4th June 2004
The
Brand New Showroom is finally up and running
and we are having trouble filling it with
new products now that we have all this new
found space. We are now building and repairing
computers next door in the new unit and
hopefully this new system will allow us
more flexibility and allow us to hold more
stock and therefore you can rest assured
that we won't need to order things in for
you anymore.
Click

You now enter the showroom
and are presented with a more spacious,
relaxed interior. |

Take as long as you wish browsing
our fully stocked shelves with all
the goodies you know we have on
offer for you.

One customer is quoted
as saying;
"You're just like
"PC World," but with stuff
that I actually really want to buy!" |

The New Bench Is finally built and up
just in time to house our ever-growing "repairs"
machines. We actually wanted the extra space
for ourselves so we can build and repair more
PCs at the same time but we haven't had time
to put the monitors up yet so for now, we
are housing 'awaiting repair' PCs. I know,
its no big deal to you but we are over the
moon with it!

ALL repairs.

Following
our recent wireless theme we are
now stocking these fantastic products - Wireless
transmitters to send your cable/satellite/DVD
signals from one tv to another. These little
kits are absolutely incredible and will save
you the added expense of a second cable box
for example. Totally new and unique, we got them in because people
were asking us if we knew of any way to get
their cable signal upstairs without wires.
So, keep telling us what you want and we will
keep trying to source it for you.

These wireless devices are taking off in
a big way.
Impress your fiends
or just take the remote upstairs.

What
a mess we have been in while we
get our Brand New Showroom ready! The dust took days to shift
and moving all the stock around and expanding
the showroom to double its size has been harder
work than we ever anticipated. you can of
course still visit us during this extended
peiod of madness in Wetherby or contact us by email or phone here.

So, we finally have our hole through
the units! |

TOO
MUCH BUSINESS ! Has resulted in
our being forced to take over the unit next
door and expand our showroom to double its
size! Our Brand New Showroom
will be complete in a couple of weeks so for
now you will have to make do with a few boring
photos of how the unit next door looked as
we destroyed it to make way for our ever-expanding
empire. You can of course visit us during
the mayhem in Wetherby or contact us by email or phone here.

RAID
SETUPS Are being asked for more
and more nowadays so we are now stocking
the
Asus A7N8X Deluxe mainboard and Raptor Drives.
These Drives are ATA-150 and spin at an
incredible 10,000rpm and when used with
the Asus board can be configured for RAID
0 & 1 - both striped (speed) and mirrored
(backup) formats.

The Asus board is of a higher quality

similar priced board we have ever
used. |

Cameras,
Cameras, Cameras ! Thats all
we are being asked about at the moment.
Everybody wants a
camera or camcorder ready for Summer. So,
to compliment our already extensive Digital
Camera/Camcorder range we have added these
2 beauties to the lineup. These particular
models are aimed at the person wanting a
"Proper Camera". Both have 10X
Optical Zoom and pop-up flash systems. They
can be set to full-auto mode for everyday
people like me and you or they can go into
full Professional mode and be fully adjustable
for white balance, ISO levels and exposure
rates etc. If this sort of thing interests
you then pop in to our showroom in Wetherby
or contact us here.

Our pick of the bunch for performance,
Zoom, Battery life and lets face
it, Good Looks ! |

The
CTS Show Is the only thing being
talked about in the IT industry in the UK
at the moment and anybody who is anybody
is there, checking out all the latest
technology and making deals with the best
suppliers. So, thinking we could sell a
few DV4000 camcorders we decided to go,
leaving our more than competent staff to
run the shop without us, leaving us to have
2 days of fun @ the CTS Show 2004 !

The
end of the financial year means tax breaks
before the end of March !!! This
week we ran a mailshot about how businesses
can recieve 100% tax relief on new IT equipment
purchased before the end of this month. Sorry
but been too busy fielding all the enquiries
and resultant sales so don't have much news
this week which means I have to put a pic

Unlucky
For Some ! But not for Wetherby
Computer Centre Limited. It was today that
we learned we had won three important business
service contracts, two other local businesses
have agreed to exclusively use our internet
services (Big Fast Web) for their modem and
broadband connections and Janice got a mega
cheap deal on her upcoming holidays.
STOP
PRESS ! ! A Final piece of Great news is that
we just got some "Inside Information"
that RAM memory prices are about to increase
dramatically - this usually means that the
cheap memory around on the market is about
to double or triple in a matter of days (sometimes
hours) SO - if you were thinking about getting
more memory in that old PC of yours then now
is the time to do it!
Don't
say we didn't warn you . . . .

We
now have the New
Car Adapters (DV~AC invertors)
in stock. These adapters are a small black
box with a cigarette lighter adapter which
plugs in to your car/van lighter socket
and has a 3 pin UK plug output at the other
end. This unit is designed for Laptops in
your car (watching DVD's for the kids etc)
but can be adapted for almost anything.
On the back of the box it even displays
hairdryers being plugged in! However this
device is rated at 150 watts output so BEFORE
you buy, PLEASE check the appliance you
wish to use from your car. However, if you
just want to run or recharge your laptop
then go ahead and buy it now because at this price we are going to be
running out quick.
