Design Rationale

  • The i9-14900K gave the customer a great amount of single-core performance for general use, and multicore performance for heavily-threaded tasks. The onboard QuickSync encoder was also helpful for various video editing tasks.
  • To ensure the CPU runs at full speed, liquid cooling with a 360mm cooler is recommended.
  • The customer wanted a motherboard that supported an RTX 4090 and at least 1 Blackmagic 8K Pro capture card.
  • The customer wanted at least 128GB of RAM, 192GB was an easy upgrade.
  • The customer wanted a 1TB NVME OS drive and 4TB NVME main storage drive.
  • The RTX 4090 worked best for the customers immediate needs, and swapping out GPUs for an RTX 6000 ADA in the future to allow for LED walls was easy to do.
  • The overall design of the build meant that an 1200W power supply was recommended.
  • We used our 5U server case to fit the build.
  • We used our highest-end fans to ensure proper airflow and static pressure.

Customer Review

“I own a virtual production studio and have been procuring computers over the past year or so.

During the equipment selection process, I looked at multiple industry leaders specializing in the high-end virtual production computers systems, as they are the backbone of the work that we do. I learned that while system specs are essential, it is more essential to work with a company that values me, and my business, and will be there not just to deliver the hardware needed, but to also help educate and support me after the sale.

Chris has spent numerous phone calls with me before and after the sale, educating me on different aspects of computers and why one part is better than another. He has been there when I had various other questions regarding operational requirements and spent considerable time educating me when I needed to add a high-end laptop, which he doesn’t even sell.

This attention to the customer made his company an easy choice to not only buy my first system from, but to go back to him several months later for another system over the other companies I was looking at. I plan to go back again in the future when I need another system.

I give both Chris and Top Flight Computers my highest recommendation for their knowledge, delivery, and commitment to customer satisfaction.”
