Computer Cases

Ever wondered which computer case or computer cabinet was best for you and if there was an order to it? If so, then the answer to the second one is yes (We’ll get to the first one after we have done some groundwork on the second). The computer cases are standardized according to the Electronics Industries Association (EIA).

You can broadly classify the various types of computer cabinets available (leaving apart a few stone – age boxes).

So what is the basis of classification?

Based on Position – Desktops and Towers.
The ones kept horizontally on the desk are known as desktops and the ones which are kept horizontally, towers.

When the computers are kept horizontally, they are classified as desktops. Cabinets have drive bays (Slots into which you fit in your hard-disks, CD ROM drives, etc.). Depending on the number of drive bays, we classify the computer cabinets as:

Mini: Contains about 3 drive bays or slots.
Mid: 4 Drive Bays
Full: 7 Drive Bays



Cabinets should be selected based on the following different parameters:

The most important thing to take care of, while selecting a computer case is to check the compatibility of the computer mother-board with the case. Various types of motherboards - AT – Advanced Technology, ATX – Advanced Technology Extended, etc.

1. Number of Slots/Drive Bays: Go for a full tower (7 drive bay) computer case if you are sure that you will be using multiple disks and drives.

However, latest computers do not require such a large number of slots in their
cases as four slots is the general requirement.


2. Cooling capacity: The computer is always better off when it is cool, like most of us. So if you have a cabinet which has the provision of an extra fan (fan ports) in it, its better.

Of course water cooling is a more powerful option with a few reliable vendors on the market, but if you are not a game-crazy soul whose heart beats for the thrill of the joystick, then it doesn’t make much sense for you.

However if you can spare the money, water cooling does give a kick to your computer – can run up to three times faster with overclocking (increasing the number of cycles – operations per second of your computer).

3. Number of USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports: Most of your interfacing – cameras, cell phones, external drives, etc. require USB ports. Make sure that your computer case has enough slots for that.

4. Number of slots for PCI (Peripheral computer interface) cards: Ethernet cards, sound cards, video graphics adapter cards, etc are fitted onto PCI sots available in your computer’s motherboard.

Thus, the computer case must have the number of slots provided for these cards, otherwise, we might not be able to use the full capacity of the mother board. A case with 6 slots will do the trick.

Benefits of UPS Control Software for UPS Devices

Classic Marketing Schemes The Advantages of Promotional Pens


The marketing industry only becomes even more competitive with time and technological progress. As more and more innovations and advancements in information technology come to light, there arise more and more mediums of advertising and promotion. With all the fuzz over the trending fads in the World Wide Web, it seems the current frontier in marketing is making the most out of every wave of trend before it dies out and is replaced. What about old fashioned advertising and promotion? What about the simplistic methods of marketing like promotional pens?
Promotional pens are still effective marketing paraphernalia that have their own advantages over other forms of advertising and promotion.
For one, they're cheap - Pens are simply cheaper and more affordable to get, print on or design, and finally distribute for marketing purposes. You can easily partition your marketing budget into finances for buying the pens and finances to cover printing and design. They're so affordable in fact that mass advertising can be done easily and with relatively small budgets through using pens for promotions. If you have a larger budget at hand then you can opt to launch a bigger promotional campaign and complement it with promotional pen distribution to further advocate the main marketing campaign drive.
They're always handy - Another reason why pens are great mediums for marketing is that they're always handy and being used to jot down something or other. While more and more people are indeed starting to get handheld devices to all but take down their notes for them, pens will never go out of style, and there will always be a need for them. The basic functionality of pens is the very reason they were considered to become marketing tools in the first place. The simple act of placing your logo on a pen would make that pen a compact, instant advertisement for your brand every time it's whipped out and used.
They're not just a passing fad - The problem with most Internet based marketing schemes today is their longevity. They simply don't last. Most marketers just go with the flow and slap their banners and ads on the sort of website that is currently most popular. Though technically and professionally, there's nothing wrong with that, marketers often find themselves having to tailor suit their marketing campaigns for the next big thing to hit the Net-and trends in the Web change in a n almost regular basis. Promotional pens are exempt from this dynamic and fast-paced marketing frontier and can thus be a reliable marketing scheme whenever applicable. And that's perhaps the best part: they're also almost always applicable.
Pens are the perfect giveaway advertisement - Being compact and portable as they are, promotional pens are excellent paraphernalia to giveaway to participants of a corporate event. This means you achieved two things: give away a little something as a thank you token, and give away a portable advertisement that is actually useful to the people you give them to.
Indeed, pens outdo many other marketing schemes and paraphernalia in terms of affordability, usefulness, permanence, and plain convenience. Animated banners and interactive ads online might be cutting edge, but promotional pens are downright classic.
