#1 Terabyte Station Summit Express

REDESIGNED FOR FALL 2010!

Terabyte Station Computers are custom designed to meet your musical needs. Each system is built to order in Bend, Oregon and configured by our highly trained technicians.

Motherboard and processor graphics card:

We prefer Intel motherboards and processors for our system builds because they are rock solid and super compatible. Intel Core i7 processors make latency and dropouts a thing of the past. If you want more CPU power, take a look at the Intel Extreme models. The Intel Extreme series motherboards support DDR3 ram for to take you to the next generation of computing. We add a GeForce graphics card for a wonderful picture.

Case and power supply:

Antec is an industry leader in power supply and computer chassis design and production. Their reliability and quality is often copied but ultimately unmatched. We choose Antec cases because they are sturdy and very, very quiet.

Ram:

We exclusively use Crucial Technologies ram in our system builds. Each module is backed by a lifetime warranty. We don't mess around with cheap ram. Nobody like bad rams.

Hard drives:

Some may argue that the hard drive is the most important part of your system. Other parts can be replaced if they fail, but if you lose a hard drive, you could also lose your DATA!!! This leaves no room for error and is why we RELY on Western Digital to provide us with top quality hard drives. Of course, there is no replacement for backing up on a regular basis.

Our Digital Audio Workstations are configured with an Intel Solid State Drive as the main system drive and a Western Digital Hard Drive for the storage drive.

Dvd+/-RW or Blue-ray?

A Blue-ray drive would be a nice investment because it allows you to create CD's , DVD's and discs with the new Blue Ray technology. Blue Ray technology would allow you to backup and store your music projects. Blue Ray discs hold about 5 times the capacity of a DVD disc.

Windows Vista or 7? The real question is 32 bit or 64 bit. Let us know what software you will be running and we will help you decide.

As we move into 2010, we are discontinuing Windows XP Professional and are currently offering 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows 7 on all of our systems.

Add a sound card.

Our systems are ready for you to add your USB, PCI or Firewire sound interface. Our custom windows installations are set to allow you to add your sound hardware with no conflicts.

Backup cd:

When your system is completed, a restore DVD is created and included with your computer order so that you may restore your system to its original factory setup at any time.
