Your computer will be primarily used to process large databases and produce
voluminous reports on a weekly basis.
All of the computers in your department will be used to manage large databases --
this application will require that the computers have:
• The largest and fastest available hard disk
• The fastest available with at least 4 cores CPU
• A minimum of 16 gigabytes of RAM
• A minimum of a 22" monitor with .24 or better dot pitch
• HINT: look for a dot pitch calculator, not all monitors list dot pitch or
pixel pitch. Dot pitch is a function of Max resolution and monitor
size in inches
• A printer (12 PPM /600 DPI Minimum) that you believe will be the best for
the task.
• An appropriate backup device(s) to protect the data in the event of
hardware failure or physical disaster. (You decide the backup method)
Make a power-point presentation. For each part make an individual slide with the
following information:
- Part type
- The performance specification we use to evaluate the part
- The vendor with link to part you chose
- The price of the part
- A picture of the actual part chosen
Note: You are building this system from scratch not searching Dell, IBM, Apple,
etc. for a pre-made computer made with the specifications I required. Therefore
you much search websites like Amazon, TigerDirect, CNET online shopper,
Computer Shopper Online or any other sites you find useful to find the hardware
needed.
