English term or phrase: white box builder
Hallo

Kan iemand me helpen met de vertaling van "white box builders"?

Context: 'X Computing Components' serves the microprocessor needs for WHITE BOX BUILDERS and system integrators.

Bedankt.

systeembouwer
Explanation:
White Box Builder or System Builder: This is a term for a certain type of resellers who also builds their own systems, what have been known as “white box” systems, or unbranded systems as compared to the “branded “ systems such as IBM, HP, Compaq, Dell and Gateway. Large numbers of resellers still build their own systems because they can command better margins and have better control of the parts that go into the PC, server or appliance they build. Other System Builders sell their own PCs both to other resellers and to end user customers.

Beste Gerard

Bedankt voor het antwoord. Na het ontvangen van uw antwoord, heb ik zelf nog even via google een en ander opgezocht en dan vond informatie die ik voordien niet vond. Voor iemand die niet gespecialiseerd is in deze materie, maar die zo'n termen sporadisch tegenkomt in de te vertalen teksten is het fantastisch om zo'n goede antwoorden te krijgen.
Hartelijk bedankt!

Groetjes

Asker: Lifetic, Medion ken ik niet. Zou dat moeten? Ik ben niet gespecialiseerd in IT, maar in de te vertalen tekst staat soms een en ander dat toch wel wat kennis vraagt, zoals white box builder... Groetjes Nathalie

Asker: Marion Bedankt voor het antwoord, maar ik verkies het antwoord van Gerard. Groetjes Nathalie Vanderstraeten
