Hi everyone ! My friend is looking to open a small web-dev office in his basement & is looking forward to get about 4-5 rigs for that purpose. So please, help me out. I'm confused between A4 & Intel. Primary concern is low-power usage & energy efficient.
1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans:
Primary use - Web development
Secondary use - Mobile apps development.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 10-14k. Not above that. No more budget stretching
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: No
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Ubuntu 14.04/Linux Mint. And if required, Windows 7.
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: As little as possible.
6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention which screen size and resolution do you want. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, again mention the size and resolution of monitor you have.
Ans: No. He will add his 720p monitor later
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: No Monitor, Keyboard/mouse , speakers, UPS etc. Just good old cabinet.No DVD writer either as USB is good to install any OS.
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: Sometime in June.
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: Will be assembled myself.
10. Where do you live? Are you buying locally? Are you open to buying stuff from online shops if you don't get locally?
Ans: Shimla or Online.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: Just need energy efficient desktops. Don't worry about cooling as the temperature of Shimla rarely touches 30 degrees.
