Naked Computers » Gaming Computers http://nakedcomputers.org For people who like to say "No Thanks!" to proprietary operating systems Tue, 23 Feb 2010 21:32:40 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 ElpaTech http://nakedcomputers.org/elpatech/ http://nakedcomputers.org/elpatech/#comments Tue, 26 May 2009 17:38:52 +0000 Alan Bell http://nakedcomputers.org/?p=151 ElpaTech build a range of desktop PCs from basic to gaming. They have the naked PC as the default configuration and price and they have this to say about it:

The Allegro Forte does not come with an operating system pre-installed (sometimes referred to as a “naked PC”). This allows you to install whatever operating system you please. The operating system is the software that you use to interact with your computer; examples include Windows XP, Windows Vista and Ubuntu.

Top marks!

They don’t do laptops, but recommend Novatech, who are one of our few suppliers of naked laptops.

The laptops appear to be a dead loss, however the PC configurator reveals a selection of hot gaming rigs with a radio button for full frontal nakedness.

Curiously there is no overclocking available on the naked option. Anyone know why that is?

I have purchased over a dozen computer from them over the last 10 years for myself and others, from Desktops to Server units.  All systems can be customized and there is no problem at all buying a bare system, either for Linux or a previous purchased OS from a computer being replaced.

I rate them an A+ for price, service and support.  All systems come with a one year warrantee, on top of any factory warantees on the components. I have never had any problems getting service, even on systems several years old.
