PC Comparison (v3)

Improvements v3 → v2

• Skylake only, which is Intel’s 6th (and latest) Generation
• Grouping into 3 Groups, each group with low and high end version
• Added Noise Level
• Added Cost Calculations

• (*1) Silent: as virtually inaudible or technically 15 dBA. The PC noise is equivalent to a person shallow breathing at 1 m ( 3 feet ) distance.
• (*2) Quiet: as in barely noticeable or technically 25 dBA. This is caused by adding the hard disks. Under full load the GPU fan will increase to 35 dBA
• (*3) Operating System: You choose your Pre-Installed OS:
  1. Windows® Full Edition 64-Bit is included in price, see table if it is the Home or Pro Edition
  2. LINUX Ubuntu at $110 US discount for Home Edition and $140 US discount on Pro Edition.

Choose Base Models for efficient building

How is this relevant

If we choose the parts of the different base models right it is possible to build a base system and test it. A base system includes:

1. Case
2. Power Supply
3. Motherboard
4. Boot Disk

One Power Supply for all Models

• We choose high quality 80 Plus Gold 300W. It is quiet, powerful, cool and high quality
• One power supply for all PCs makes it easy to build one base model that can be configured into any final shipping PC
• The customer has complete freedom it expand the PC later, since any possible configurations are covered by this PSU

One Motherboard for all common models

We choose one Motherboard for all common models. Relatively low cost of this Motherboard combined with high run rate makes it cost efficient to always have some pre-build and tested systems available with it. Only for the high end model we choose one with the special features:

1. M.2 Socket for NVME aka PCIe SSD (about 5x faster than SATA3)
2. 4k @ 60 Hz Display connector

One Motherboard only will allow to build base models and test them. For more information, please see the → “Proposed assembly workflow” below.
