Buying discount computers is
something easy to do nowadays that computer prices have dropped. Despite the
low prices, you may still find it difficult to settle on a single computer.
Computers are built with so many varying features that finding exactly the
right one for you may be difficult. Building your own system from a barebones
system is an option to buying discount computers that will enable you to get
what you want exactly and still enables you to save money.
Don’t think you can build a
computer system? It’s true that building a computer system takes some time and
a bit of knowledge about how computers work. When you start the building
process with barebones systems you deduct some of the complication associated
with building a computer system. Barebones systems have the basic components
that you need to get started with building a computer system. Most of these
systems include a motherboard, CPU (computer processing unit), and power supply
encased in a computer case. Choosing a barebones systems is similar to buying
discount computers. You will need to determine your needs to find just the
right system for you.
Barebones systems are typically
classified according to what they offer. While they contain the same basic
components, the components enable you to perform different levels of tasks.
Low-level barebones systems, which range in price from $100 to $200, will have
components that are not as advanced as those in high-end barebones systems. Of
the components in a barebones system, the processor is your main concern. There
are basically two types of processors: Pentium and Athlon.
There is much debate about which
processor is the best. Pentium is probably the most popular name in processors.
Its name is synonymous with speed and power. With the introduction of the
Pentium 4 processor, Intel suggests that pure multi-tasking is possible. Athlon
may not be as popular with general consumers, but those individuals who
understand the components of processors, such as clock speed, know that Athlon
is at the very least in step with what the Pentium processor offers. Athlon 64,
the most current processor that AMD offers
Once you select the barebones
system with the essentials you need, you basically upgrade the barebones system
to include the additional parts you need to create your ideal computer. After
the processor, you want to consider memory, a hard-drive, and CD/DVD writer.
Essentially, just as with the processor, you will need to determine what tasks
you intend to perform with the computer. As a rule of thumb when buying
discount components, you don’t want to build a system with the most high-end
components. For starters, you will end up spending a significant amount of
money (negates the purpose of choosing an alternative to buying discount
computers) and the components will more than likely soon be replaced with a
more high-end component.
