Micro Center, a leading national computer and electronic device retailer, has relaunched the online presence of its PowerSpec brand, a trusted name in high-performance desktop PCs. The newly redesigned PowerSpec.com offers an enhanced user experience tailored to meet the needs of gamers, professionals, and tech enthusiasts alike.

Since 1992, PowerSpec has been at the forefront of delivering powerful, adaptable, and upgradeable PCs backed by Micro Center's industry-leading customer service. The revamped website reflects PowerSpec's commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction by offering streamlined navigation, detailed product information, and easy access to essential drivers and support resources.



Key Features of the New Website:

• Enhanced Navigation: Explore PowerSpec's extensive range of desktop PCs, from affordable office systems to high-performance gaming rigs.
• Detailed Product Configurations: Quickly compare features, specs, and prices across PowerSpec's diverse lineup.
• Support Resources: Easily locate Guides and FAQs, all in one convenient place.

"PowerSpec has always been about empowering customers with affordable yet high-quality desktop PCs," said Lawrence Luk, VP of Global Sourcing at PowerSpec. "With this relaunch, we're making it even easier to find the right PC, whether you're buying a new rig for gaming or upgrading an office workstation."

In addition to its sleek new look, the PowerSpec website now includes detailed breakdowns of all PC models, highlighting their components, including top-tier hardware from brands like Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA, with no unnecessary bloatware. Manufactured and quality-tested in the USA, PowerSpec systems are backed by Micro Center's renowned in-store service guarantee, including a 1-year warranty and 48-hour repair commitment.

See where it says PowerSpec in BIG ASS WHITE LETTERS ON A BEAUTIFUL BLACK CASE

yeah don't do that if you want me to buy, lot of beautiful cases out there, and that just ruins it imo

My NXZT case says NZXT on the front but its black letters on a black front, you can't even see it, looks so much more clean. meh, do what you want though

If this is the deciding factor to get it or not, more power to you. That being said, PowerSpec uses off the shelf components, many of their cases are Lian Li, so it should be easy to remove.

why do they need a website? You can't buy anything online.

Microcenter does sell some stuff online, but their shipping prices usually make it a no buy.

Fair, and no it isn't why I bought my NZXT case, I bought it cause it was on a lightning sale for $59 shipped and sold by amazon, and it just happened to be massive, had good reviews at gamersnexus, and looked pretty slick too with the minimalism. I always wait for a good sale before I buy.

You can't buy anything from Powerspec.com. Every single item has a "where to buy" button that links you to Microcenter, which tells you shipping is not available, but you can plan your trip to the nearest Microcenter.

Microcenter is getting ready to re-open it's Silicon Valley location here in California in January. These systems are designed for a local retail PC market, hence the in-store repair warranty and 48hr turn around commitment. Their stuff is already available online on Amazon.com.

So they relaunched the website to tell you all about the systems that are only available in store, but they're posting them on Amazon without advertising it at all? Why does the "Where can I buy?" button only link to microcenter.com? As far as I can tell they have one pink "Powerspec" computer for sale on Amazon.

I'm not even anti-microcenter, I just think it's interesting for them to push marketing for a website that doesn't have any products for sale and only links to their other site that tells you what store has inventory. Why don't they just use that website? Idk I guess I just don't get it lol. They already have all of these products listed on their main website (the fact that you can't order any of them from that site aside). Maybe people who are within driving range of a Micro Center get it.
