Measurements
We take readings during real work: core utilisation, memory usage, the queue to the drive.
It all starts with answering the question of what exactly is the ceiling right now, and the answer is often unexpected.
We take readings during real work: core utilisation, memory usage, the queue to the drive.
We choose components to address the bottleneck we found and explain why each of them is needed.
A minimum, a sensible option and one with headroom. We show the difference in money and in return in figures.
Careful assembly, compatibility checks, considered cooling and tidy cable routing.
We run them under load before handover: component defects show up in the first twenty-four hours.
Components under the manufacturer warranty; we answer for assembly and compatibility ourselves.
The costing takes a day or two; assembly runs for several days after the components arrive.
We set up monitoring and see what exactly is hitting its ceiling.
We send costings with an explanation for every line.
You settle on an option, and if needed we fit it to the budget.
We assemble it, run it in, install the system and hand over a ready machine.
Saving on the power supply devalues the rest of the build. A cheap unit delivers unstable voltage, so the machine reboots for no obvious reason, and when it fails it takes the board and the drive with it. This is the one component you must never economise on.
By nothing, if the task is standard: a ready model has a single warranty and predictable servicing. A custom build is needed where ready options simply do not exist: a specific graphics card, many drives, a non-standard case, work in a dusty room.
You can, if the parts are compatible and not too old. We will check and tell you honestly if something is dragging the system down. In that case the warranty covers our work and the components we supplied ourselves.
From twelve to twenty-four hours at full load. That is enough to reveal memory faults, overheating and unstable power. Finding such things before handover is far cheaper than a month later at the workstation.
Write what the task is and what the budget is. First we measure the current load; sometimes no purchase is needed.
