Maximising Resources
Energy - Schools using ecoquiet consume less energy. RM ecoquiet is specifically designed to use less power through all modes of use, up to two thirds less in some cases. The latest ecoquiet desktop PC uses just 50 watts under stress (including a monitor!).
Budgets - With energy costs rising, using less energy makes financial sense too. Great for the planet and great for your school electricity budget.
An average school with 220 computers could save a massive 104,350 KWH and as much as £9,000 in fuel cost over 3 years.

Space - Schools using ecoquiet technology have greater access to ICT through a choice of classroom ready cases that are robust, secure and compact.
Cool & Quiet
The unique mix of sustainable components create cooler, quieter, more comfortable classrooms.
Cool - Who wants to learn in a classroom that's an oven? RM ecoquiet runs cooler than conventional hardware.
Quiet - Fan cooling for conventional hardware can be noisy, especially in an ICT suite. Independent tests have shown that RM desktop PCs with ecoquiet inside are 'whisper quiet' which is 14dB(A) quieter than standard desktop PCs.
We can't keep pupils quiet for you, but we can certainly bring some hush to your hardware.
This sustainable desktop PC range is fully configurable to meet your needs. The range is available in choice of secure and robust case styles, including the award-winning RM One.

ecoquiet RM ONE 50: a first look
Charles Mclellan from ZDNet talks about the ecoquiet RM PC 50
'RM (formerly Research Machines) is well known as a provider of technology to the UK's schools, colleges and universities. The Oxfordshire-based company is also pretty nimble when it comes to adopting 'hot' new products.'
'The ecoquiet RM ONE 50, which, as the name suggests, majors on 'green' credentials such as low power and low noise. In particular, the '50' in the model name refers to its claimed power consumption 'under stress (including a monitor)' of less than 50 watts - something we have put to the test in ZDNet UK's labs.'
