 These two mounting methods were devised to protect PC boards from vibration when installed in the engine compartment of a car. They could also be used in other applications where vibration is a problem. Method 1 involves rigidly mounting the PC board inside a diecast box and then mounting the box itself to provide vibration isolation. As shown, small grommets are installed in suitably sized holes in the sides of the box. The box is then secured to angle mounting brackets using M4 screws, washers and nylock nuts. Method 2 involves mounting the diecast case onto the chassis of the car and then mounting the PC board as shown, using M3 screws, grommets, hollow spacers and nylock nuts. In this case, the grommets are fitted into suitably sized holes in the PC board itself. Once the nuts are tightened, the PC board should be able to move slightly, relative to the box. If there is not enough space on the board to fit the grommets, then Method 1 is the way to do it. Author: David Boyes - ...

Company intends to sell of PC business under the VAIO brand. In a press statement released by Sony, the company said that it is selling off its VAIO brand and concentrate more on smartphones and tablets, citing “drastic changes in the PC industry”. Japan Industrial Partners (JIP) will take over the business, with the deal expecting to be completed by the end of July this year.  The statement also said that Sony will “immediately cease planning, design and development of PC products”. It also said that manufacturing and sales will be discontinued after they release their Spring 2014 lineup. Sony also assured customers that they will still get after sales support even if the deal has been completed. Always associated with elegant design, the VAIO line of notebooks has always been one of the preferred brands by some, including Steve Jobs – to which he even envisioned VAIOs running on Mac OS X.

Try to lighten up you PC by using LED flex lights to surround the casing. The result will be much appreciated when the room is dark. The chain is housed in rubber plastic which makes more light to be projected out right angles as if some miracle is happening inside the PC. You can choose which color to use or what you wish to blend with the design of your room. The LED strips are very flexible and customizable which makes them popular. It is very easy to install these strips by using Velcro strips of adhesive backing. You may also use the LED strips in any part of your room like the hairdresser mirror.
