Ganymede Series

Workstations

Workstations are high-end PCs tailored to accomplish a specific task. Designed with one job in mind, and they are built to do that job well. So when we design and build Ganymede workstations, we ensure that the system is rock solid reliable.

 

We’ve built workstations for use in 4k video production, architecture and landscaping, machining, professional photographers, print shops, music production, software development, and a lot more.

 

While we present here some of our most popular use cases, these are meant to be just a representative of what we can do for you or your business. If you know the task you want your workstation to accomplish, we can build the machine to make it happen.

 

Prices are only listed in ranges since they constantly fluctuate. Also, these systems are suggestions, and can be purchased as is, or customized to your preferences. Please give us a call to get an exact quote.

Ganymede 665

Photo Editing & Graphic Design

Designed for use by photographers using Lightroom or Photoshop, or by graphic designers using Illustrator or InDesign.

The first consideration is processor. While these apps can utilize multiple cores of a processor, they can only utilize so many, so high-end processors like i9’s can’t accomplish most takes any faster than an i5. So high-end i5-K processors, with fewer cores but a higher per-core processing capability are the way to go.

Next, these workstations are designed with 3 drives. First, a fast solid-state drive (SSD) as a boot drive to hold Windows and apps. Second, another fast SSD for use as temporary storage, commonly called a “scratch” drive. And third, a large hard drive for long-term storage.

Finally, we recommend having a graphics card (specifically a GeForce), since these apps can utilize it for some specific tasks. But generally, these apps are are mostly processor intensive, so there’s no reason to go overboard on the graphics unless you have a specific need.

Ganymede 803

Music & Audio Production

Designed for musicians or audio engineers using Audition, Ableton, Avid Pro, and other audio software.

This class of workstations, commonly called Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) are designed for use in sound studios to edit/mix high quality digital audio. To that end, the 803 was designed to have lots of processing power and audio handling capability, but still be ultra-quiet.

The i7-13700k should be plenty of horsepower, and the 64 GB of memory should be handy for layering many tracks. It also comes with a SoundBlaster X-AE5 with an external DAC.

But to keep this beast as quiet as possible, it’s cooled by a 240mm AIO liquid cooler, housed in a sound-dampened silent case.

System Specs
  • Processor: Intel Core i7 13700k
  • Graphics: Onboard Intel Graphics
  • Motherboard: B760 MicroATX
  • Memory: 64 GB (2x 32 GB) DDR5-5200 CL36
  • Storage: 1TB NVMe PCIE 4.0 SSD
  • Case: Fractal Design Pop Mini Silent MicroATX
  • Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240
  • Power Supply: 600W 80+Gold
  • OS: Windows 11 Pro

Ganymede 865

CAD, CAM, CATIA, BIM, and 3D Design

Designed for use with AutoCAD, Inventor, Revit, SolidWorks, Civil 3D, and more.

Built for engineers, machinists, architects, and anyone else needing precise real-time 3D rendering. This workstation is built around the nVidia RTX A4000 graphics card, a 3070 Ti workstation-class equivalent GPU. It’s paired with a liquid cooled i7-13700k, 128 GB of DDR5 memory, and a silent case.

System Specs
  • Processor: Intel Core i7 13700k
  • Graphics: nVidia RTX A4000 (3070 Ti equivalent)
  • Motherboard: Z790 ATX
  • Memory: 128 GB (4x 32 GB) DDR5-5600 CL36
  • Storage: 1 TB NVMe PCIE 4.0 SSD + 2 TB NVMe SSD
  • Case: Fractal Design Meshify C
  • Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240
  • Power Supply: 700W 80+Gold
  • OS: Windows 11 Pro

Ganymede 985

Development, Data Visualization, and Photogrammetry

Designed for use in 3D development environments, like 3DS Max, Maya, and Blender, or for development of machine learning and deep learning like Stable Diffusion and ChatGPT. Also useful for data viz workloads like Escape, Twinmotion, and Lumion, and for photogrammetry workloads like ArcGIS, Pix4D, and Metashape.

What these workloads have in common is a need for highly parallel processing, and the 985 delivers. The Ryzen 9 7900X and the RTX 4070 Ti make quick work of 3D renderings. Plus, the 7680 CUDA cores on the 4070 Ti allow development into cutting edge AI and machine learning. All of this power is kept cool with a 280mm AIO liquid cooler, and housed in a silent case.

System Specs
  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 7900X
  • Graphics: nVidia RTX 3070 Ti
  • Motherboard: X760E ATX
  • Memory: 128 GB (4x 32 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30
  • Storage: 2TB NVMe PCIE 4.0 SSD
  • Case: Fractal Design Define R5
  • Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280
  • Power Supply: 1000W 80+Gold
  • OS: Windows 11 Pro

Ganymede 9X6

Video Editing

Designed for H.264, HEVC, and AV1 video editing workloads in Resolve, After Effects, and Premiere Pro.

Time is money, so you need the perfect system for dealing with 4k and 8k video editing workloads. Powered by the i9-13900k and a RTX 4090, the 9X6 also includes 128 GB of ultra-fast DDR5 memory, has built-in Thunderbolt 4, and has 3 SSDs (one for OS and apps, one for a scratch drive, and one for long-term storage). To keep the noise and the temps down, it’s cooled by an enormous 420mm AIO cooler, and is housed in a giant Phanteks case.

System Specs
  • Processor: Intel Core i9 13900K
  • Graphics: nVidia GeForce RTX 4090
  • Motherboard: Asus ProArt Z790 Creator Wifi
  • Memory: 128GB (4x 32 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30
