Customized To Fit Your Needs
With all of the features that your computer can now deliver, it makes sense to have us put together a real computer system. Whether you want a simple custom computer or a complete studio outfit we can deliver the solution. One size does not fit all. Price vs. performance is where the value is. We will interview you to find out what your requirements are for both now and the future upgrade potential.
Solid State Hard Drive
The most bang for your buck in terms of speed is the solid state hard drive. The older hard drive technology is mechanical and even while functional it becomes lethargic. Upgrading your existing computer to solid state drive in most cases will spring life back into performance. We clone your existing drive and test it on your computer before selling you that solution
Random Access Memory
RAM is where most of the current state of your computer is stored. From the time you turn your computer on to the programs you load, all of your activity is loaded from permanent storage like your disk drive or internet. You are able to switch back and forth between your tasks at a speed which can be limited by too little RAM.
Custom Video Card
The video card in concert with your monitor determines the quality of your visual computer display. The video card determines the number of monitors you can have on your computer, and the maximum resolution possible. This measures how large an image can be on your screen without pixelation. Video cards can have their own processor to expedite rapid motion like 3D CAD or video editing.
Fitted Power Supply
High end custom system will draw more power as the hardware is upgraded. CPU’s and video cards tend to drive up the power requirements. Measured in watts, the power supply requirements usually range from 500-900 watts.
Motherboard
The motherboard is the bedrock of your computer system. Short changing on this component will cause limitations on all of the components you add to your computer. It also determines whether you have an Intel or AMD architecture and CPU.
Cooling System
Heat is the killer of a computer. As more and more components have no moving parts, it is usually heat that ultimately causes system hardware failure. Moving air with fans is the norm, however water cooled systems are common in expensive systems to preserve the useful life. Colored lights on fans also make an attractive addition to a custom system. A word to the wise, keep dust from settling inside your computer which coats the parts and prevents cooling from being effective.
Intel CPU
We recommend Intel processors. Our custom systems utilize x-series Core i5 through the current offering which at present is Core i9 Extreme. Your application requirements will determine the CPU selected for your custom build.
Custom Case
The least critical component of a custom system is the case. Good ventilation and interior visibility are the normal requirements. Of coarse, the is the matter of bragging rights which can be a determining factor.
