Jingle Bells... Christmas approaching, and it must begin to think about the gifts that trôneront at the foot of the FIR. History of honoring our computer and high-tech theme on this occasion, we offer a few selections of products by writing.
After the computers laptops and tablets and smartphones that should be the Kings under the tree, our selection of Christmas 2011 returns with PC best practices by the mittee configs'. More difficult than to the usual, because at the time of the choice of components, we fell on a problem of size: the price of hard drives. Impossible to do without hard disk in the mounting of a config, and if it is possible to work around the problem by going to search for an SSD, it is not within the reach of all the awards. The floods in Thailand have therefore difficult us, causing prices in full blast, as we analyse it recently. But we have the challenge and managed to build towers with small onions, budgets and expectations.
To offer or afford a small desktop configuration for Christmas, we have chosen you this package discreet and good invoice in Fractal Design. Generally, this type of configuration is not intended for leisure activities in high definition, we have capitalized on an Intel processor version Core i5 processor very good performance for applications every day without so far shut out a few small games for children for example.
Of course, this small PC remains scalable and will accommodate a graphics card later if further cravings to games are felt.
Although some manufacturers out models of computers that connect to the TV show for home cinema sessions, we looked to mount a silent configuration having a WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) coefficient high enough so that it can be put next to the TV furniture without too much compromise.
The Cooler Master Silencio housing all dressed in black is covered with block foam cone on each wall to absorb the maximum lower noise emitted by the internal components. The graphic part is able to support the Blu - ray 3D with this same optical drive in the selection.
We could choose a remote control to operate the system at the bottom of the sofa, but on reflection, this choice has generated too many stormy discussions to the mittee ' and we rely to Santa on the issue.
The price of hard drives disrupted on the choice of components for configurations of this year. Especially for it, because a gamer is generally seeking a quick configuration, with of storage space. Therefore, it must take a disc tray for storage and an SSD for the system. But here, we could not make this choice because the HDD prices are fair theatricality and we had to choose between speed and storage space. We have chosen a sufficient 60 GB solid state disk to install one or two games and the operating system, leaving you free to select a storage disk you may already have also (until prices fall).
To stand out in a LAN party, this package In Win called BUC will spend not unnoticed. To be sure, because it is full of small tricks making it attractive, including hard disk drives "hot-swap" via a trap in the sidebar. For internal components, the 560 GTX graphics card is overclockée and compatible with Nvidia 3D Vision technology.
On this configuration, we know that the choice of the keyboard is something enough display, we therefore have the choice not to add here to keep even one or two gifts in the list and so (to) make a little surprise.
Christmas..., winter, snow... This Fractal white Design package is (almost) we unanimously, but nothing prevents to take the black version, if you prefer. The idea was not to seek the config that can be the most expensive, but effective configuration for pleasure.
A very good Core i7 overclokable running at 3.4 GHz mounted on a card mother "professional" in Asrock, all with 8 GB of RAM high performance. We have added to this beautiful gift list, forgiveness, of components, a beautiful card graphic in Sapphire (an AMD Radeon HD 6970 2 GB) with two fans to expire the calories that you he'll spend. Indeed, for the processor, we thought this system of water cooling in Corsair already mounted as a conventional heatpipe but offering of silence and an evacuation of heat directly outside of the box, thus avoiding to disrupt the flow of air created for the graphic part and the rest of the enclosure.
As for the configuration of the gamer, we did not the choice of the keyboard. In the hope that Father Christmas choose for you the best of keyboards/mice of the year (a good TRA and a RAT 9?).
This, of course, this are just ideas and a few blows of heart components. All being possible, because that's also the pleasure of the Mount House, customize his machine to best suit its needs and expectations...
