New PC Build Questionnaire
How we build them.

At Collins Custom Computers every computer is custom built to your specifications, then tested, benchmarked, and certified by our certified A+ technicians before we package and ship it to your home or small business.Custom PC vs. Retail PCAll computer chips are produced in volume on large silicon wafers (shaped like a flat dinner plate), then individual chips are trimmed from the wafer and used to make complete components, such as processors, graphics cards, modems, network cards, or motherboard chipsets.In virtually every production yield of chips, some chips simply run faster or perform better. It’s just how the silicon formed in the wafer. Manufacturers must test every single chip to determine it’s capabilities, and sometimes sort the products into different classes or categories. This is especially true with video processors.

The best performing parts demand premium pricing, and are typically packaged in a retail box with beautiful graphics and shrink wrap to be sold in computer stores at the higher markup. The slower performers typically demand a lower price, and are sold in bulk to the large Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM’s), who can claim to be using the same part or model of product as the retail boxed product, but actually they have a lesser version. This is the dirty little secret the larger OEM manufacturers don’t want the consumer to know. The only time the big guys use the premium parts is when they are submitting systems to be tested or reviewed by a computer magazine. Those computers get all retail parts, plus hand-built assembly and tweaking to get the best possible test results in the magazine review.

Wouldn’t it be fantastic if consumers could get a hand-built computer with premium boxed components instead of OEM parts? You can! Brentwood Home Media builds every single computer as if it were going to be shipped to a computer magazine for review, with care and craftsmanship the behemoth manufacturers can't offer.



Online Storage Security - Transmission

HIPAA Compliant backup solution

Backups should be stored in a secure location. Flashbackup.com offers a secure offsite backup solution within a ClassA data center.

Data must be “a retrievable, exact copy” There must be an 'audit trail' for backed up data that leaves the facility. AutoBackup provides logs for the audit trail for backup status and provides a simple backup solution for precise data recovery.

Access to backup media must be restricted to authorized personnel only. Only users with the login and password can access backed up data.

A contingency plan is the only way to protect the availability,integrity, and security of data. There must be a backup and recovery plan in place. Flashbackup.com offers 24x7x365 recovery of data from any networked computer.

Encryption must be employed on ‘‘open’’ networks. Flashbackup.com offers AutoBackup with 256bit Encryption plus an encryption password assigned and known only to the customer up to 21 characters for additional security.

HIPAA Reference:

Data must be "a retrievable, exact copy". : A contingency plan is the only way to protect the availability,integrity, and security of data during unexpected negative events. Data are often most exposed in these events, since the usual security measures may be disabled, ignored, or not observed.

The plan would include an applications and data criticality analysis, a data backup plan, a disaster recovery plan, an emergency mode operation plan, and testing and revision procedures.
Backups should be stored in a secure location with controlled access. The appropriate secure location and access control will vary, based upon the security needs of the covered entity. For example, a procedure as simple as locking backup diskettes in a safe place and restricting who has access to the key may be suitable for one entity, whereas another may need to store backed-up information off-site in a secure computer facility.


Transmission Security (§ 164.312(e)(1))

Under ‘‘Technical Security Mechanisms to Guard Against Unauthorized Access to Data that is Transmitted Over a Communications Network,’’ we proposed that ‘‘Communications/network controls’’ be required to protect the security of health information when being transmitted electronically from one point to another over open networks, along with a combination of mandatory and optional implementation features. We proposed that some form of encryption must be employed on ‘‘open’’ networks such as the Internet or dial-up lines. In this final rule, we adopt integrity controls and encryption, as addressable implementation specifications.
