I am located in the United Kingdom and during 2004 I purchased the 64 bit ready Storm Workstation from MESH Computers plc for Desk Top Publishing. The Workstation specification includes:-
OS: Microsoft 32 / 64 bit Windows 7 Professional
Mother Board: 64 bit ready Asus AV8 Deluxe / WIFI-G Rev 1.xx
BIOS Version: American Megatrends Inc. 1017
PSU: HEC 385AD-PT -> Total Output: 385W -> Intel Ver1.3 ready -> ATX 12v
Graphics: 128ATI Radeon 9800PRO (ALL IN WONDER)
Processor: AMD 64 bit Opteron Dual Core Model 180 / 2.4GHz / 939 PIN
Memory: 1.50 GB
Caddy: two iCute SATA
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 500GB + recovery HDD
Network Card: Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Complete with:-
Monitor: Iiyama Vision Master Pro 514 (HM204DT A)
Printer: HP Laserjet 1100
Scanner: Epson Perfection 1240U Photo Scanner
External Data Storage: two hot swappable 3.5” SATA mobile USB2.0
Broadband: 74Mbps
Having made the 2004 purchase, I have no intention of getting a new Workstation that makes my other hardware redundant. A dual core processor is more than adequate for Desk Top Publishing and creating my HMRC Tax Returns.
Information on HEC High-Quality Evolution Commitment power supply units for use in the UK is now difficult to find. The HEC Group may have ceased trading in the UK. Second hand HEC power supply units can be found. The HEC-385AD-PT specification is:-
AC INPUT 230Vac 50Hz 8A
DC OUTPUT +3.3V +5V +12V -5V -12V +5Vsb
MAX.A 35A 36A 18A 1A 1A 2A
+5V&+3.3 COMBINED 220W TOTAL OUTPUT 385W
Intel Ver1.3 ready ATX 12V
The -5V power rail is not required by modern motherboards. But there are second hand power units made by other suppliers. But which provides a PSU that is more tolerant of being switched on and off more frequently during HDD back-up without blowing a capacitor?
