Build Your Own Netbook With OCZ

Build Your Own Netbook With OCZNew announcements of netbooks may tend to be very boring. Most of them hold pretty much the same form factor and specifications, but with slightly different designs and logos on the lid suggested. If OCZ announced their Neutrino netbook it seemed like just another Netbook with nothing special. OCZ turns out, is actually trying something a bit different.

OCZ is usually known for the creation of memory and other PC components, non-current machinery. To proceed with this, the neutrino is considered part of the Do-It-Yourself program. Anyone can be the most barebones of the Netbook, including everything except the RAM, hard disk, card reader and installed OS. The idea is, the buyer will be able to find the best prices on the aspects of the Netbook, and adapt them to their wants needs. The obvious market is for the hardcore technicians who are already their own machines, but OCZ is the packaging with full instructions so someone should be able to view the Netbook itself.

The idea for the construction of hardware usually results in some higher end, but ultimately cheaper desktop machines. The bones of the neutrino with the rest of the parts which can also be purchased, resulting in lower prices than most Netbooks. Suppose you already have the OS disc, or are planning to Ubuntu or Ubuntu-based Linux distributions, a fast Newegg search results in a $ 60 2.5 “HDD 250GB, and $ 20 for a 2 GB stick of RAM. How to save a few dollars for the possibility of the machine itself, and finally know what the inside of a Netbook looks like ribs, without any except. Seems a decent treatment to me.
