Computer Lounge

📢 Exciting changes are underway at Computer Lounge's HQ! 🚀 We’re thrilled to announce that we’re expanding into a brand-new, improved service area to better meet the growing demand for assembled systems and deliver top-notch service to our customers. At Computer Lounge, every system we build undergoes rigorous stress testing using a comprehensive suite of software. This ensures that every component performs exactly as the manufacturer intended under sustained workloads. However, as demand for our systems has grown, we’ve occasionally found our production pipeline bottlenecked by the number of systems we could stress test simultaneously. Simply put, we needed more room to keep pace with our commitment to quality and efficiency. This new space will significantly enhance our operational capacity, enabling us to assemble and stress test up to 50 systems at once! That’s a major leap forward from our previous setup and a crucial step in scaling our operations while maintaining the high standards you’ve come to expect from us. We’re incredibly excited about the opportunities this expanded space brings; not only for us as a team but also for our customers, who can look forward to faster delivery and the same reliability that our systems are known for. Stay tuned for more updates as we put this new space to work!

Another workstation order successfully completed and ready to ship out to a local creative and design agency! 🎨💻 The brief for this project was straightforward: the client needed workstations capable of powering their demanding creative workflows in Adobe Creative Suite. With heavy usage of tools like Photoshop, InDesign, After Effects, and Premiere Pro, performance and reliability were non-negotiable. After thorough discussions about their specific needs and budget, we worked closely with them to design a tailored workstation setup that delivers on all fronts. Looking forward to seeing the amazing work this team will create with their new hardware! ___________ Full specs below: MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK WIFI DDR5 Gaming Motherboard Intel Corporation Core i7-14700K Processor DeepCool LS720S ZERO DARK 360mm AIO CPU Cooler G.SKILL Ripjaws S5 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5 6400Mhz CL32 Memory Intel XMP - Black 4 x Team Group Inc.

Holding out for the release of Nvidia's RTX 50-series? For businesses and enthusiasts alike, the lead-up to a major GPU refresh brings a lot of excitement - but also unique challenges. One of the most critical hurdles we face during this time is balancing inventory levels to ensure a smooth transition to the latest, cutting-edge products. Many of our commercial customers are eager to adopt the latest technology as soon as it’s available. However, waiting weeks (or in some cases, months) for the newest GPUs to hit the market can impact their ability to maintain a high level of productivity, and complete projects. For a select few customers purchasing systems with plans to install the RTX 5090 once it becomes available, we have been able to provide temporary loan GPUs so they are able to begin using their systems right away. This approach not only helps minimize downtime but also ensures our customers can keep pace with their demanding workloads while eagerly awaiting the arrival of the next-generation technology. As always, we’re committed to finding innovative ways to support our customers during periods of technological transition. What strategies do you incorporate in your business to bridge the gap during product release cycles? ___________ Full specs below: GIGABYTE X870E AORUS ELITE WIFI7 Motherboard AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Processor Thermalright Cooling Solutions Frozen Guardian LCD 360mm Liquid CPU Cooler - Black Team Group Inc.
