from Computer Hardware Guide Part
1
We
have covered some of the essential computer hardware in part 1 of our computer hardware guide. And now its for
the rest of the computer component.
Hard Disk Drive
This computer hardware keeps
all data permanently, unlike the RAM
which will erase data if the
computer is shut down. Comes in sizes of 2.5” (for laptop) and 3.5” (for Desktop)
Usually a
numeric figure (in
Gb) is stated and comes in
various capacity.
A rough calculation
Assuming a 4 min long music song is stored
in mp3 format and takes up 4mb worth of space in the hard disk. 160Gb will be able to store around 40,000
songs!
Graphic
Card
As stated, this
card is initially responsible for displaying images onto the monitor. However, due to the high rendering
first-person-shooter games being produced, gamers will demand their graphics card to be better than
the CPU. This is due to the fact that the graphic card will handle
all taxing gaming images which the CPU was unable to process. To meet up the demands, even
graphics cards are going dual core!
Power Supply Unit
(PSU)
The heart
of the every computer! This computer hardware sends power (pumps blood) to various devices, such as
the mainboard, hard disk drives,
etc.
This is often
the most overlooked hardware and is frequently compromised due to budget constraints. However, by cutting down
on getting a good PSU, risks such as electric shock and under-current may occurs which could instantly destroy
the mainboard and other hardware by providing the wrong current or voltage!!
S-Mall
Pte Ltd ensures that the PSU in the system are of high caliber and have been tested and proven to work with your
Custom Computer System
Computer Casing / Chasis
Computer case is
the tough armor to protect the dedicated various computer hardware.
Casing are
important as they ventilate and regulate air flow to prevent overheating of the essential computer
hardware.
S-Mall
Pte Ltd ensures that the casing provided will provide maximum airflow for their value and protection is given
for the computer components.
Optical Drives
Commonly known
as CD-ROM / DVD-ROM or DVD Writers, this allows reading of various CDs/DVDs. ROM hardware are only able to read
from CD / DVD, while DVD Writers enables writing (copying of
data) to the discs.
The latest
technology for Optical Drive is currently Blu-Ray ROM will allows reading of Blu-ray disc. Due to the high
cost, it is not widely included in systems.
S-Mall
Pte Ltd ensures that all systems purchased comes with a DVD-Writer for you to copy your valuable data to your
DVDs
Monitor
Is a visual
display unit that shows images generated by the graphic card. CRT monitors that are working today are using older
technology which consumes more power. Mainstream monitor manufactured are now mostly LCD due to their compact
size and cheaper cost to manufacture.
LCD monitors
come in various sizes, ranging from a minimum of 15” to up to 70”!
S-Mall
Pte Ltd ensures that the monitor provided are LCD and have a minimum size of 18.5”
Keyboard and Mouse
Is the hardware
