Design Rationale

The i9-12900K gave the customer a great amount of single-core performance for modeling, and multicore performance for laser scanning tasks.
To ensure the CPU runs at full speed, liquid cooling with a 360mm AIO is recommended.
The customer wanted a stable motherboard with a good amount of desktop functionality.
The customer wanted to max the build out with 128GB RAM, and preferred save some money with last-gen tech.
The customer wanted a 1TB NVME boot drive and a 2x2TB NVME RAID0 main drive.
For heavy laser scanning workloads, we typically recommend the RTX 3090 as a professional-grade GPU isn’t necessary. At the time, the pricing on the A5000 made it a more sensible purchase than the 3090, and they were both 24GB cards.
The overall design of the build meant that a 1000W power supply was recommended.
We used our default mid-tower case to fit the build.
We used our high-end fans to ensure proper airflow and static pressure.
