Some of the components used in your Computer System
We custom build computer systems to your exact
needs.
Some of the little things we do.
Proper heatsink compound on CPU and PCB components.
Heatsink compound between the CPU and the fined heatsink lowers the CPU operating temperature ensuring a longer life
and less
heat damage to your CPU socket and Mother board.
Mother board manufactures install heatsinks
on many components in their boards and video cards. Various methods are
employed to attach the heatsinks to their components. Many
just stick or glue the heatsinks on. This is better than not having a heatsink but not
ideal.
To use
the proper heatsink compound is messy, time consuming and more expensive but for long life and
trouble free operation it is worth doing.
Extra Hard disk drive cooling fan.
All hard drives receive extra cooling via careful placement of the system
cooling fan. This keeps the hard drive
electronics
from over heating and creating hot spots preventing the chassis from
warping. Extra cooling helps keep the spindle bearing cool preventing
premature failure. All large drives and
especially the higher speed drives require extra cooling.
Hi power, Power Supplies
Most computers will run with a 250 watt power supply but this doesn't leave
any room for error. We use 400 or 450 Watt supplies for that extra
stability. We find the computers are more stable and less prone to freezing
or resetting due to power
fluctuations.
450 watt supplies have that little bit extra.
All power rails are measured to ensure they are well within specification
when the computer is idle and under load. We have multimeters and we know
how to use them.
System Cooling fan
Most PCBs have a system cooling fan connection
but very few companies utilize it.
We install the system cooling fan to help ensure the excessive heat from
components and the heatsinks are dispersed.
In addition we mount the cooling fan parallel to the mother PCB. this has
the effect of cooling the Voltage regulators and the smoothing capacitors. a
lot of mother boards are failing after a couple of years. The main reason is
the smoothing capacitors are heating up and drying out. You can tell if you
system is suffering from this if you look at the capacitors on your mother
board. The capacitors should be flat on top. If they are domed or a crusty
substance has formed on top the it won't be long before it fails. You could
be experiencing lockups or rebooting problems now.
24 Hour Burn in
All system are run for 24 Hours to ensure all those little problems are
ironed out.
Configuration
All software and drivers are loaded into the operating system. Some
companies give you a big box of disks and let you go for it. You still get a
big box disks and CD's but they have all been installed.
Will it cost more
In a word YES. If your after a cheap computer there are lots of computer
shops around. If you need a reliable computer system then come and talk to
me. Or if your system isn't running properly call and we will rebuild it as
if it was one of ours.
