 What is a NAME BRAND or PROPRIETARY COMPUTER??
It's the type you can buy at the big department and discount stores.  They are ones you are used to hearing about on the TV, Radio, Magazines, and in the Newspaper, and they are usually about the same price as a clone, but you pay a BIG PRICE when it comes to them lasting for years, or when it comes to changing anything or upgrading them.  You see, they make the parts, (the few that there are), so that you can only buy them from them, therefore they have a monopoly on you and those parts, and so they jack the price up 6 to 10 times what you would pay for a normal clone part!!
How can you tell it's a NAME BRAND or PROPRIETARY COMPUTER??
Well, one way is by the NAME BRAND, but a more Technical way to tell is to look at the back of the Computer!!
If you know what a Connection for a Devices is, you will find them all in one line, either at the bottom of the Computer on the back, or on the side on the back.  What does this mean?   This means that the Parallel Port, 2 Serial Ports, 2 USB Ports, Mouse Connector, Keyboard Connector, Video Connector, Game Port Connector, Sound Connectors, are all on one Board, the MAIN BOARD, the most expensive part, and the Brain of the Computer.  This  has all these things as part of the Brain of the Computer, and if one of these stops functioning, or it has a problem, you might as well buy a new computer, as they are going to charge almost as much for that board as you paid for the whole computer, and in some cases, MORE!!!
What is a CLONE COMPUTER??
It's the type usually you have never heard of, but if you walked into a large Call Center or  Corporation,
where they have thousands of Computers & Operators working 24/7, you will most likely find Clones, because
Clones cost about the same initially, but over time, they cost very little to maintain, because most of  the Devices
connect to separate circuit boards which can be replaced when that part or function fails.   Also all those circuit
boards are made by lots of vendors which are in competition with each other, so these parts are always VERY
economical!!!  Also you can interchange or upgrade anything in a Clone with an Economical part from those
vendors in competition to make your computer faster, with more hard drive space, or just about anything you can
think of, but try this with a Name Brand, and you will find a very Costly Venture that's probably next to
impossible, and a big headache!!!

There are lots more reasons than the above to buy a Clone vs Proprietary, but we think we have given you a few
ideas, but more headaches come with Proprietary when it comes to Software, Drivers, Support, and Tech Support,
as they have a Monopoly there too, where Clones are just the opposite!!

American Computer Engineering only sells CLONES, as we do have a CONSCIOUS, and if you don't like our Clones, we will gladly give you the name of Companies who make good Quality Clones like us!!!

An Educated Consumer is a better Customer!!!

Ace Computers are Manufactured in South Florida, USA.   Our Computers are Business Class Computers, which are 100% IBM CLONE, NOT NAME BRAND PROPRIETARY!!  Our Machines are used in large Call Centers & Corporations, where they run them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  Our Machines are NON-PROPRIETARY, and you can take an Ace 8088 and upgrade it to a PIII-900MHZ without changing anything but some cards and the CPU.  This is impossible with a Name Brand Proprietary Machine, and it would cost you 6 to 10 times as much.   All our parts are interchangeable with other IBM-Clone, NON-PROPRIETARY Machines, which gives you endless upgrades, with 1/6th to 1/10th the cost of a Name Brand Proprietary Machine, when doing the same upgrade!!   Ace Custom Computers are QUALITY Computers at a Reasonable Price, and  a great deal for  the money, especially when it comes to the cost of Maintenance, cost of replacement parts, reliability, and upgrade costs!!!All New Full Priced Ace Computers come with a Lifetime Warranty and a 30 day money back Guarantee!!!
