Many user group members know Other World Computing (OWC) as a long-time supporter of User Group University. OWC is known for excellence in products, creativity, innovation, a demonstrated respect for the community, and a history of participation in its growth. Your group members may have purchased their first hard drives from OWC or even bought memory chips back in 1989. Still, did you know that OWC is remarkable for their dedication to the environment, creating one of the greenest buildings in the country (LEED certified Platinum status)? From a building that is 100% wind powered, to state-of-the-art recycling, to a geothermal-powered HVAC system that uses less energy and creates healthier air for employees, to a parking lot paved with permeable interlocking paving bricks, and even using green janitorial supplies throughout, OWC leads the way as they have for almost 30 years.
Keep an out eye each month: their special offers will change monthly.
