Velocity Micro Acquisition
In May 2007, Velocity Micro, another independently owned PC builder, acquired the former competing boutique builder. Since that acquisition, Velocity Micro has incorporated Overdrive PCs Hyperclocking techniques into many of its own extreme gaming systems. Overdrive PC has since moved to Velocity Micro’s Richmond facility and remains a separate brand under Velocity Micro ownership.
On June 12, 2012, Velocity Micro relaunched the OPC brand as a line of high-end gaming PCS, featuring an hex-core Intel i7 3960X Hyperclocked to 4.6GHz, 3 NVIDIA Geforce GTX 680 video cards and over 2 terabyte of storage. The machine starts at $7,999.

Famous quotes containing the word acquisition:
“Whatever may be our just grievances in the southern states, it is fitting that we acknowledge that, considering their poverty and past relationship to the Negro race, they have done remarkably well for the cause of education among us. That the whole South should commit itself to the principle that the colored people have a right to be educated is an immense acquisition to the cause of popular education.”
—Fannie Barrier Williams (1855–1944)
