The NASCAR theme and special offers for racing fans set this system apart from your average value PC.
Are you constantly looking for the fast groove, worrying about stray tire marbles, or fantasizing about snug restrictor plates? If so, you're a NASCAR fan. (Or, at least, I hope you are.) And if you're one of those fans who can never get enough NASCAR, Cisnet (a subsidiary of ZT Group) has a PC for you.
Are you constantly looking for the fast groove, worrying about stray tire marbles, or fantasizing about snug restrictor plates? If so, you're a NASCAR fan. (Or, at least, I hope you are.) And if you're one of those fans who can never get enough NASCAR, Cisnet (a subsidiary of ZT Group) has a PC for you.
The $868 NASCAR PC never lets racing fans forget their favorite sport. Checkered flags painted on the black minitower case--as well as on the 17-inch Cisnet NCA-701 flat-panel display, the keyboard, and the mouse--definitely catch the eye. Open Windows XP, and you'll see customized NASCAR icons and even a customized Start button. Special offers to NASCAR PC owners include a 30-day free trial to NASCAR.com's Trackpass and Raceday Scanner services, which offer tons of real-time and on-demand racing info and let you listen to live radio communications between racers and the pit on race days.
Ironically, the NASCAR PC itself isn't a particularly high-powered racing machine. Under the hood you'll find a 2-GHz Athlon 64 3200+ CPU and 512MB of RAM, which together helped produce a WorldBench 5 score of 83, about what we'd expect from a similarly configured value PC. (Cisnet does not offer a choice of CPUs with this machine.) And although the system has plenty of horsepower for listening online to live races or performing common computing tasks, it isn't well suited to demanding games; the integrated Radeon Xpress 200 graphics chip, which piggybacks on the system RAM instead of supplying its own memory, posted some of the lowest frame-rate scores we've seen on our Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Unreal Tournament tests.
