About Me:

My primary work is as an Architectural Designer. I use very high-end CAD, Graphic, and Animation software that is very demanding. Over the past 18 years I have custom designed and modified many computers. I have 4 primary needs out of my equipment - it needs to be Fast, Quiet, Cool & Reliable. My clients are demanding & I cannot afford down time. I enjoy technology and I love building computers. I fully test them before shipping. The systems that I build are the nicest I have seen available for the market, so I have decided to build systems for others. Please read my feedback: - virtually all of my sales have been computer equipment. I heed all of the eBay rules. Please feel free to inquire about customizing a system for your own needs. Also - I can provide EQUIPMENT LEASING through a large, nationwide leasing agent.

Feel free to visit my web site (that is in its infancy): www.ProfessionalCPU.com - or email me at BrianE@ProfessionalCPU.com .

This Computer:

Whether you’re using Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas, NewTek Speed Razor - This machine will handle everything you can throw at it and more! With this much computing power…your rendering times will shrink from hours to minutes. You’ll spend a lot less time waiting and more time creating. Your production time will soar and you’ll be billing more for your creativity. This system is so fast and powerful, you’ll start to think you’re editing tape-to-tape. Really!
If you are also running 3D Max, Maya, Lightwave…or any other 3D intensive rendering application…just watch this machine melt your rendering times. As an architectural designer, that’s precisely why I did the research and all the trial and error to find the highest quality components that would work fast, powerfully and seamlessly to handle the colossal strain my CAD, REVIT & 3D Max Design applications demanded!
With all the power a dual quad-core processor delivers plus the massive amount of RAM I’ve provided…you can fully access all the features of your software for even more productive editing sessions! For instance, Vegas has the ability to run multiple instances simultaneously. What good is this feature if your old computer chokes and slows down? Sometimes you want to have several RAM intensive programs all running at once. An associate of mine couldn’t run his photo editing software (Corel) while his video application (Vegas) was in the background. What you never want is a client sitting in on an edit session when your old computer crashes. What do you think 24 Gigs of fast RAM would do for you? All this power and memory coupled with the blistering speed of a solid state hard drive means you’ll be working faster and smarter with virtually no bottlenecks!
Well…enough about the system! If you’ve read this far, you know computers…and face it, you’ve 'dreamt' of having a system like this but thought you couldn’t afford it. I invite you to look everywhere you can think of. Other e-bay sellers, computer manufacturers, the boutique shops and even video equipment wholesalers. Have you ever seen a system like this at this kind of a price point? A client of mine found one that was close. Although the system he found only had 8 Gigs of RAM and the C: drive was an eSATA, not a fast, super reliable solid-state drive. And that system was approximately $1500 more than mine! I also have a former professor that bought one of these from me and he was surprised when it arrived and the price he paid included TWO processors! He was extremely pleased! I’m not knocking anyone else’s product. There are some very fast, reliable and powerful systems available from any number of places. But I know the quality that goes into my computers and my prices are extremely competitive. In some cases, astoundingly so! Remember, I first started building these for myself. I require speed and reliability…and as a small businessman…affordability! I get good pricing from my wholesale vendors and I pass that along to my clients. This kind of quality and power is not cheap. On the other hand, as a tool to help you do your best work, it shouldn’t cost more than it has to either. I’ve seen to that. The fact is, if you’ve thoroughly compared this computer to anything else on the market…your search just ended. Thanks for your consideration!

*Note: This is a custom configured, custom built system design. It is a Video Editing Powerhouse! I will gladly add additional Hard Drive Storage, Blu-Ray Burners and additional Video Editing components according to your specifications and provide you a custom quote.
