Re: PCs for Nigeria

Having worked in Nigeria, I strongly recommend that the PCs be made as 
tamper proof and as climate proof as possible. My experience is that if 
it possibly can go wrong , it will!

Also, unless things have improved since my time there, a UPS is a must 
for anything at all critical. Most establishments had standby generators 
which kicked in in the event of one of the very frequent power cuts. But 
the delay of a few seconds to a minute or so will throw out any 
unprotected PC.

If the location is anywhere near Lagos, effects due to the humidity have 
to be experienced to be believed.
