Maintenance of the computers will vary, the computers will work perfectly fine most of the time but some times one of the components might go faulty and need replacing or repairing.ĬD RWs will need to be brought for the employees to backup the CAD files they do. This will bring the monthly expenditure on paper to i? 426. I estimate from the previous number of drawings they did and comparing it to the amount they will have to do they will need to use ten packs of paper per month. They could either keep buying them as they need to or buy them in bulk, lots of places will give a discount if they buy in bulk, but the problem with this would be storage space. Paper will be expensive for the company because a pack of 40 A0 sheets will cost the company about i?Ĥ2. 99 for every cartridge they buy, I estimate that the company will go through about five per month making a total cost of i? 34. There are a lot of items that the company will need to buy while running one of the potential systems that is not going to be a one off charge from the start, these are listed below: A0 plotter cartridges for the plotter, if the company is printing out a lot of blueprints to show customers the ink will go down fast in the plotters and will need to be replaced.
Low band Mid band High band Price i? 5003.

60 The table below shows the total costs for the low ranged costs, mid ranged costs and the high ranged costs, all of these include the computers costs, plotters costs, graphics tablet cost, networking costs and the CAD software which it will be running. This one network setup will be used for all the different bands of cost. I also have made sure that the internet connect that they will be using to connect through will be connecting to this router through a Cat-5E cable which is exactly what this router uses for shared internet connections. I have checked what connection the plotter uses and it is a printer port connection and that the routers built in print server has the correct type of connection for this. 94 The table below shows the costing for implementing the network they require for both computers to be linked together, to be able to log onto the internet and use the same printer.

The table also includes the other hardware elements which are required for the tasks such as the A0 plotter and the graphics tablet and also includes the operating system.Ĭomponent Low range Mid range Top range Processor Pentium 4 2. As I have stated before I will be purchasing the hardware for the computers as whole pre-built computers from Dell, below is the specifications and prices of a low priced system, a mid ranged system and an expensive system. 32 and the one I will be using for the top range system will be an A3 sized tablet costing i? 552. I will be using a A4 sized graphics tablet for the mid range system as this is the next size up costing i? 206.
It won’t be as easy for the user to use this as it would be to use an A3 sized one it will still do the job, although it may take longer because they may find it harder to use. 82 for the cheapest one which is an A5 tablet which is one of the cheapest tablets available. An A5 sized graphic tablet will cost i? 45. The resolution shouldn’t be much of a problem because the print outs are only going to be used to show the client what the final product will look like but the speed could make a difference, although this should not be a huge difference and only take a minor effect on productivity. The main two problems are that, it will be a lot slower than a mid range or an expensive one and does not have as good a resolution so the drawings will not be as crisp and clear.
