That was the first big GUI (graphical user interface) from Microsoft that everyone had to have. Enter Fall 2009... I've been comparing the excitement surrounding the 3.0 launch to the brand new Windows 7 launch. EVERYONE WANTS 7! Techies, beginners, and everyone in-between wants to run Windows 7 which is, well, great for us! FYI - We found Vista to be a good operating system as well, but for some reason the media really enjoyed taking shots at it (it seems bad press sells), and all that bad press took its toll on Vista's image. For us it's a relief not to be constantly defending Vista, and to be able to get back to the business of selling and upgrading PCs which is what we do best. Windows 7 is here! http://www.signa.com/page_Products_All!Products.asp?find=%22Microsoft%20Windows%20v.7.0%22+retail http://www.signa.com/page_Products_All!Products.asp?find=%22Microsoft%20Windows%20v.7.0%22+retail Thu, 22 Oct 2009 8:33:5 GMT October 22 marks the release of Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows 7. Be sure to check out our site for info and prices, or better yet, drop by the store for a hands-on experience with Windows 7.

Vista Service Pack 2 just released http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dd262148.aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dd262148.aspx Wed, 27 May 2009 10:20:31 GMT Vista SP2 has just been released. Some people have had it pop up in their Windows Updates, others have had to download and install it. Be sure you have a complete backup before installing, and be aware service packs DO cause problems at times so it's user beware! Here's where I got my copy: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dd262148.aspx Enjoy! Green PCs http://www.signa.com/page_Products_Desktops.asp http://www.signa.com/page_Products_Desktops.asp Thu, 7 May 2009 10:59:21 GMT Everyone is switching out their standard light bulbs for CF versions to save electricity. How about doing the same thing with your old computer? The average 4 year old PC draws approximately 150W while our most efficient Signa Micro PC only draws 26W running Windows and less than 6 watts in standby mode! Hi, I'm Greg, nice to meet you! http://www.signa.com/page_Home_News!and!Blog.asp http://www.signa.com/page_Home_News!and!Blog.asp Tue, 31 Mar 2009 5:44:45 GMT Hello everyone, I'm Greg, the owner of Signa and would like to introduce myself. I started Signa Computer Systems way back in 1993 (it sure doesn't seem like that long ago, 16 years!) to build high quality PCs for people that appreciated them. It's been a great run so far, with technology getting better and less expensive, more and more people can enjoy them. Ok, about myself. I'm a bit of a technology nut to say the least and really like keeping up with the latest and greatest hardware and software. I just upgraded to the new Intel i7 965 Extreme (what an awesome CPU) and Asus Rampage II motherboard. OCZ 1866 memory, WD Black Hard drive, and a BFG Nvidia 295 Video Card. You wouldn't believe how fast this system is, it's incredible! I get just over 20,000 in 3DMark06 at 3.2GHz and over 24,000 overclocked at 3.7Ghz. BTW, a client just outdid my upgrade by going with 2x BFG 295's in SLi and gets 29,000+. :) I'm also into Formula One racing, so if you ever want to come over, have a coffee and chat F1, please do! I'm also into cars in general and appreciate all makes/models/years so car talk is pretty big around here. Well that's a start to our blog. Thanks for reading and check back periodically so see what's going on with us. Kind Regards, Greg SIGNA Blog Goes Live! http://www.signa.com/page_Home_News!and!Blog.asp http://www.signa.com/page_Home_News!and!Blog.asp Fri, 27 Mar 2009 10:41:20 GMT Signa would like to introduce you to the newest addition to our front-page : a blog where we hope to share info about news, events, and the like with our customers.
