Intel Pentium 4 Processor We exclusively use Intel branded processors and heat dispersing fans. Non Intel heat fans are the #1 cause of mechanical system failure in PCs. As processors continue to get faster, they also continue to get hotter. Quality heat fans are imperative to insure your processor is not damaged and hold down PC support costs. |

Chassis with Power Supply It's just a box...Right?? As always, the answer is yes and NO. CIO understands the value of office desk space. We are always looking for ways to minimize the size of our chassis to provide the most optimal system for your needs. What is PS? - power supply. Power supplies are the #2 cause of mechanical system failure in PCs. Most manufactures use plastic "slip-ring" power supplies because they are only 60% of the cost of the more quality choice. CIO exclusively uses steel ball bearing power supplies that have twice the "mean time before failure". At CIO, we DO pay attention to the "little things" that can make a big difference. |

Hard Drive CIO uses 7200RPM, Serial ATA drives from Maxtor or Seagate, the top two quality drive manufacturers, while most competitors use 4800 or 5400RPM drives. Hard drives work by circular platters moving past a stationary read/write arm. It doesn't take a genius to know if the drive is moving 33% faster, the information you're seeking will go to/from the drive faster as well. |
