Terabyte Station

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. We are pleased to feature the Intel Core i5 and i7 processors in our systems. NVidia chipsets are recommended for graphic controllers.

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.

Take a step into the future and have your system built with a Solid State Drive. Solid State Drives (SSD) have no moving parts and are incredibly fast and quiet. Intel provides us with our high quality SSD Drives.

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 XP or Vista or Windos 7???

Most of our clients prefer Microsoft Windows XP Professional because it is very compatible with audio hardware and software that is on the market. With a look towards the future, more and more of technology will be designed to work with Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows 7 and the speed and performance benefits that new operating systems offer will overcome their compatibility issues.

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.
