Desktop Computer
Ever since the first personal desktop computer made its presence
felt on the first office desk, humanity as we know it has become
infatuated with desktop computing. Over the decades the processing
speeds have gone up, the configurations have changed, desktop
computers have become more adaptable to concepts like the Internet
and networking, but the fundamental purpose has been the same – that
of providing affordable computing services to every office desk in
the world!
From its initial days as a mammoth machine that occupied a room, the
desktop computer of today has become snug enough to occupy very
little space on your desk. Till a couple of years ago, the desktop
computers came with huge, cumbersome desktop monitors. These were
cathode ray tube (or CRT) monitors and took up more space than the
central processing unit of the desktop computer. But of late, the
desktop computers available in the market come with flat screen
liquid crystal display monitors, making them lightweight and sleek.

The changes have been more than superficial though. If truth be
told, the very desktop computer industry has undergone massive
changes. The original manufacturer, Integrated Business Machines
(IBM) is still around. But they no longer have a monopoly on the
desktop computer industry. China, Taiwan, Japan and Korea have
entered, conquered and continue to drive the desktop computer market
in the world today. Although price was the initial entry point for
these Asian manufacturers, over a period of time, they have grabbed
sufficient market share and volumes to provide dependable quality
and even product innovation in their versions of the desktop
computers.
But western manufacturers like Dell Computers are slowly by steadily
turning this trend around. With a new concept called built to order
I the desktop computer industry, manufacturers like Dell are weeding
out the middleman and the associated premium costs. By building your
desktop computer to your specifications and at the price you deem
right, these manufacturers are able to provide great quality, at a
price that will be difficult for the makers of the branded desktop
computers to match. Additionally, by not using storage space for
their desktop computers, by eliminating the need for sales personnel
and by even dissolving inventory, these manufacturers are winning
back the market share for desktop computers that had almost entire
evaporated to Asia.
Internet websites like www.tigerdirect.com, www.geeks.com and
www.buildurpc.com offer the do-it-yourself crowd several options to
build their own desktop computers. In fact, when customers order
their own parts and assemble their own PCs, they tend to get
machines with higher configuration, better processing power, more
memory and overall at a much more reasonable cost than the branded
desktop computer manufacturers can offer. But then, building a
desktop computer from scratch is not the easiest of options, even
for those with a basic hardware education and should be left to
professionals. But if you are game for some trial and effort, have a
lot of free time on your hands and are courageous enough to take up
the challenge, then maybe building your own desktop computer is
something you might be interested in.
