Many organizations prefer the economical, customizable, and cost-effective benefits that come with investing in barebones computers over off-the-shelf counterparts. Instead of purchasing every piece separately and taking extensive time to put everything together, a barebones system provides you with a time-saving alternative. Every piece is easily assembled into a customized computer system to meet your unique needs.
What is a barebones system?
The term “barebones computer” is used to describe a partially built PC or computer system. Although barebones systems vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, they typically contain a case, power supply and motherboard. Some manufacturers may provide a barebones computer with just one or two components missing for full function. The benefit of a barebones system for many teams is that it comes at a much lower cost than most retail computers and allows for better customization... that may be in line with system specifications required by a business. For organizations that require upgrades on a more frequent basis—hard drives, for example—a barebones computer allows for easier interchangeability.
One caveat, however, is that to benefit fully from a barebones system, your team should have some technical knowledge to install the separate computer parts to make it a fully functional design integration to meet your specific objectives. Connection can provide your organization not only with the components of the barebones system you need for your users but also with the expert IT knowledge required to install, optimize, and maximize productivity with your new setup.
Barebones Systems Available from Connection
Connection offers a great selection of barebones systems from award-winning, recognizable brands. Barebones computers are available in several different styles. You can choose from barebones versions of a desktop or laptop and then customize your system from there.
Some examples include:
- Tower barebones look almost identical to a traditional desktop computer and are great for setups that aren’t short on space and require more expandability.
- Booksize barebones are slimmer in size and can fit into a more compact space.
- Mini cube barebones are shorter than a tower barebone, giving the system a more compact size as well as the expandability often desired by end users.
Once you have your basic hardware components installed, such as your motherboard, power supply, and chassis, you can add other pieces depending on your specifications. Your organization then gets to choose which CPU, hard drive, memory, software, video card, processor, and other features it requires.
