Building a High-End Workstation | |
|
||
| Time: 11:51 EST/16:51 GMT | News Source: Slashdot | Posted By: Jared Evans | ||

We have built or tweaked custom gaming systems -- if you didn’t, you wouldn’t be reading FiringSquad. Your custom-built gaming system is probably an equally impressive system for your non-gaming tasks, and so if you ever needed to build an office PC for someone else, your experiences will serve you well. However, what happens when someone asks you to advise them on building a high-performance PC where the focus is not gaming or even office applications, but honest-to-goodness computation? In these cases, you need to throw out everything you know about gaming PCs. Building a workstation PC takes a different mindset. Recently, I had an opportunity to do just that for a medical lab that relies heavily on finite element analysis. The details are unimportant, just think of it as being similar to the crash-test studies a car manufacturer will do, only on a smaller scale. | ||
