For quite some time now, choosing a desktop computer has ceased to be something unthinkable. Thanks to the general availability of information, everyone can get acquainted with the main points. And it’s not at all necessary to visit online clubs or look for specialist gurus, although this is also a pretty good option.
Optimal computer choice
Let's look at some basic ways you can use when buying your silicon helper.
One of the easiest ways is to directly visit a computer store with a certain amount of money in your pocket. In this case, choosing a computer involves contacting a consultant for help. Most likely, the buyer will first be asked the question of what the main tasks will be solved on the chosen system. For example, a computer designed for games should consist of sufficiently productive components, which leads to a significant increase in the total cost. Also, such a system has a relatively high level of energy consumption.
But if the range of tasks is limited to communicating on Skype or social networks, viewing pages on the Internet, video / audio, as well as working with office applications, this means using completely different components - less productive, but economical and cheap (as much as possible).
And finally, a universal model can be proposed - a kind of compromise solution that copes with most tasks equally well, while maintaining an acceptable cost.
Thus, before heading to the store, you should determine why you need an electronic assistant. The choice of a computer will be correct only if the range of tasks is taken into account. Of course, you can immediately purchase a high-performance model, but its potential may not be fully utilized, and the overpayment is significant.
However, choosing a computer based on the advice of a consultant is not the best option. It is much more reasonable to first familiarize yourself with the main components of the system unit, study the existing models and their features. This will help to avoid mistakes when choosing.
Meet by clothes
The choice of case for the computer should take into account the material and its quality, dimensions, ease of installation of components and the ventilation system provided . Inexpensive modifications are made of insufficiently strong metal with poor-quality rolling of the edges, because of which the case creates the impression of unreliability, and cutting during assembly is a minute thing.
Dear branded models, in turn, are unreasonably expensive (small lots), so they should be of interest primarily to connoisseurs of everything ideal.
Most often, the optimal acquisition is a model from the mainstream segment. There are two types of fixing expansion cards in cases: with screws and special latches. The second is necessary if you often have to install (change) expansion cards and other components.
An indispensable condition is a well-thought-out ventilation system. A good case allows you to install a large cooling fan (120 mm), which is almost no noise during operation. Sometimes there are modifications with a perforated side cover. They can do without additional fans.
