LET'S TALK ABOUT DIY-PC VS PREBUILT-PC

In my personal opinion, I always prefer the DIY PC and why? I can customize for my own preference and budget. By the other side, for business and final user I suggest a brand or pre-build PC.



Here are some personal reasons and thoughts from one to another:



DIY PC:

  • You ARE the tech support for yourself: if you screw something, you pay it!
  • You can choose your own components and of course, it’s going to be more expensive
  • You can add/mod how many parts and accessories you want. Sample: cooler system, LED, capacity, case, keyboard and mouse, etc.
  • You have to buy individual licences like OEM windows and office, antivirus and others

PRE-BUILT PC:

  • Take out of the box and configure in few steps
  • You can choose a plan warranty for 2/3 years and the same with the software and can have a coverage plan for parts and accessories
  • If you need any tech support, grab the phone and call to help desk; they will send you the new part and replacement with a tech guy on-site

WHY DO I CHOOSE A DIY PC:
I always saw my friends and buddies with customized PCs and so many features and accessories and that the reason why I switch to the dark side and I always have been working as a TIER 2 and as an system administrator. CONCLUSION: I am my own tech support guy



IN OTHER WORDS….
First, some the rules of engagement. We’re talking about full-function PCs built either from components or supplied as turn-key systems ready to roll. Re the latter, the assumption is that we’re dealing with systems sold by outfits that at least pretend to understand what enthusiasts and gamers want and need.


SOME TECH WORDS:

PIECES AND PARTS CAN BE REPLACED FREQUENTLY:
  • Hard drives
  • Optical drives
  • Coolers
  • PSU (power supply units)
  • Video Cards
  • Wi-Fi network cards
  • Cases and chassis
  • Monitors (sometimes)

PIECES AND PARTS CAN’T BE REPLACED FREQUENTLY:


  • RAM (add more memory)
  • CPU
  • Motherboard

Everybody ask why these 3 aren’t possible to replace: easy! These are the CORE parts of a computer function and ONLY can be replaced by damage or bad functionality. And it’s like marriage… until death do us part


On the most cases, we want to buy the better PC and parts, but that can’t be possible. You have to spend a tons of dollars and money and the next 3 months the same pieces cost less and cheaper because technology is always changing and innovating.












Any suggestions?

REASONS TO REPLACE YOUR COMPUTER FAN AND HEATSINK

REASONS TO REPLACE YOUR COMPUTER FAN AND HEATSINK A computer's fan and heatsink are two of its most important components. The primary role of both is to cool down the processor and keep it from overheating. A laptop or notebook does not have to be outside in hot, humid weather to overheat. In fact, even if a computer is kept away from extreme heat altogether, it can still overheat. That is because a computer's processor is responsible for processing information and giving instructions to other components in the computer. A processor can get very busy as a result, especially when it is running multiple programs simultaneously. As a result, it heats up, and if there is nothing to cool it down, it can malfunction and break down, costing the owner hundreds or even thousands of dollars. This is why a good fan and heatsink are necessary. The more demand placed on the processor, the more effective the fan and heatsink must be. This guide identifies five issues...

LET’S TALK ABOUT PC AUDIO SPEAKERS

LET’S TALK ABOUT PC AUDIO SPEAKERS Computer speakers are one of those PC accessories that are almost essential; and you can spend anywhere from $10.00 to $1,000.00 for quality PC speakers, depending on your budget.   There are tons of tons of speakers with features and different prices as we know. But as I always say: WHAT and HOW is what I am looking for. For sample: I have this one in my office and works properly, the only disadvantage is that has no RADIO and only can be played with micro SD and plugged to my computer. And only pay like $20-$25. USB charged and the battery longs for 6 hours. https://www.energysistem.com/en/products/music_box/music_box_series_/42198-energy_mini_music_box_z100_r_black Here there is some thoughts and share some personal ideas about this topic. I enjoy listening to music a lot, and because my computer is the main source for my digital music collection, a decent speaker system is essential. Expensive is not a...

LET’S TALK ABOUT - NETWORK FORENSICS

LET’S TALK ABOUT - NETWORK FORENSICS BASIC CONCEPT Network forensics is a sub-branch of digital forensics relating to the monitoring and analysis of computer network traffic for the purposes of information gathering, legal evidence, or intrusion detection. Unlike other areas of digital forensics, network investigations deal with volatile and dynamic information. Network traffic is transmitted and then lost, so network forensics is often a pro-active investigation. Network forensics generally has two uses. The first, relating to security, involves monitoring a network for anomalous traffic and identifying intrusions. An attacker might be able to erase all log files on a compromised host; network-based evidence might therefore be the only evidence available for forensic analysis. The second form relates to law enforcement. In this case analysis of captured network traffic can include tasks such as reassembling transferred files, searching for keywor...
