Netpama PC

"The best gaming experience the responsible way..."

We obsess over gamers, and that’s where we make our investments. We put our money where the gamers will feel it. We’ve invested a lot of money in a sophisticated computing network to make the on-line gaming fast and reliable. We have a 1:1 contention 4MB SDSL line connected to our Gigabit network. This is an ideal multi player gaming environment. We don’t like slow computers, and more importantly we don’t like computers that are built without concern for the environment. This is why all of our machines are custom built in-house. This way we can choose award winning components that respect the earth.

We do our best to avoid environmentally sensitive materials and use parts that are capable of being recycled at the highest level. For example, our hard drives are lead free, our motherboards are RoHS compliant, and we use aluminium cases instead of plastic for easier recycling. Our computing equipment has Eco Labels TCO '99 or TCO '03.

Each netpama PC has its' own headset and web-cam for VOIP / Team speak communication, Microsoft keyboard and optical gaming mouse. The design of our computing equipment is an important part of our gaming centre. The feel good and look good factor matters to us. We use International Forum (iF) design award Sennheiser headsets and even the LCD monitors we use have won the 'reddot' design award.

We try to reducing energy consumption, for example, we use LCD monitors because they only consume half the power compared to a traditional CRT monitor and of course LCD screens are flicker free. So are far more friendly to your eyes. All our machines are now equipped with silent high efficiency power supplies. Over the year we have tested, monitored and changed our power supplies. Without sacrificing gaming performance we have managed to save 3.52 kw per hour which is equivalent to thirty-five 100 watt light bulb.

We have started to use silent heat pipe cooled graphic cards. This is passive cooling so a power hungry fan is not needed. We have been using the high performance, energy efficient AMD64 CPU since Nov 2004 and we are committed to changing the remaining 16 PC's fitted with power hungry Pentium 4's ASAP.

Where ever possible we use energy saving light bulbs in our gaming centre. Even our toilet is fitted automatic lighting!

We have a dedicated in-house Information technology development team who are endlessly working to keep our technology at the top level. This means all our PCs will have the latest gaming title and patches. It also gives you a chance to try some of the latest titles before you buy them yourself. We even install and upgrade at night so as not to inconvenience you.

Most gamers are not technology geeks. We are: so you don't have to worry about it!
