Check out the dual-display computer system Lenovo sent me for review and giveaway on my geek dad blog:

The Lenovo tower computer system is cool — especially the dual displays setup. Unfortunately, this geek dad can’t keep the Lenovo computer — I have to give the PC away to a lucky dad or mom. The computer system I’m giving away consists of a Lenovo ThinkCentre A63 tower PC (6674-APU) and two 19″ ThinkVision L1951P LCD monitors (2448HB6). As configured, the price of the dual-monitor computer I’m giving away on my dad blog is about $1029. BTW, the Lenovo A63 computer is perfect for an entrepreneur or a small business.

The details and dates of the computer giveaway has not been finalized. In the meantime, check out the specs of the PC and LCD monitors below.
