As many people will attest,
the best sound that a computer
can make is no sound at all.
In a world where stress, productivity
and noise pollution are hot
topics, the introduction of
powerful, quiet computing
solutions are being welcomed
as essential to the dawn of
a new era of digital progress.
Quiet computers are now not
only technically feasible,
they are very desirable and
now, affordable.
SolarPC offers the broadest
range of popularly priced
fanless computers through
the Silar model line. Fanless
computers have many benefits
that are being recognized
as being increasingly relevant
in today's highly stressed
business world. According
to research, a noisy open
plan office environment can
reduce productivity by up
to 60%. Noise is stress and
stress leads to illness with
lost productivity. What is
unfortunate is that most people
do not take notice of the
"white noise"-until
it is gone.
You don't have to live with
a noisy computer at work or
at home? The "quiet revolution"
provides more than the benefits
of reduced stress. A properly
designed quiet computing solution
also makes for a more reliable
and more ecologically friendly
device. The key is to generate
less heat so that there is
less energy to dissipate.
This can be accomplished with
a more efficient CPU and chip
set along with other peripherals
such as memory and hard disk.
In addition conventional desktop
type hard drives can be replaced
with no moving parts compact
flash drives or laptop hard
drives. This can provide substantial
power and thus heat savings.
For example, a desktop hard
drive at idle consumes ten
time more power than a laptop
hard drive. Other benefits
can also be realized. Machines
can be smaller, lighter, and
include important extras such
as a built-in UPS.
If your requirements are for
the most powerful PC available
then a fanless PC will not
be on your shopping list.
However, if you want a, machine
to cruise the Internet, check
email, listen to Internet
radio just or watch a DVD
then you should check out
the Silar line of quiet computers.
The Silar line includes machines
based upon AMD Geode and Intel Core Solo / Core Duo based motherboards.
Note that these boards can
run with no CPU fan however,
depending on the configuration,
a low speed case fan may be
required or recommended.
