Computers for Filmmakers
Back Up Next We are authorities in production sound recording for video and filmmaking. We also have lots of accessories for videography; offer a complete line of computer solutions; and are dealers for MacroSystem Casablanca non-linear video editors; as well as turnkey Avid Media Composer, Avid Liquid, and Avid Studio (aka Pinnacle) editing solutions.  If you would like a copy of our 2005/2006 "cowboy cover" catalog (free, of course), please phone or e-mail us. We are working on a new catalog, coming later this year.

Note that we have lowered many prices in order to compete with "New York" discounters. But always call us to check on the latest pricing, as many manufacturers are instituting price increases related to fuel/freight costs and the declining dollar. Remember to refresh your browser, since we have heard reports of folks looking at olde pages from ancient searches rather than the current ones.

 

 

Computers for filmmakers and videographers

    

These days, everyone is looking for a good, reliable source of computers. Whether it be for non-linear video editing, graphics, general business apps, or college -- we all need equipment that is designed to be up to the task at hand and RELIABLE!

Desktop and Rackmountable video editing systems; high performance deskbook (laptop) mobile computing systems; and netbook mini's just for toting around, checking the web, and taking care of the day-to-day.

Too often, we find ourselves given a choice of cheap or cheaper. The American business model says build them faster, cheaper, and don't worry about long term quality. If it breaks, well, a certain margin of "acceptable return percentages" is factored for....

It doesn't matter that having a computer breakdown on you and causing you to lose your data, deadlines, and suffer tons of inconvenience is less than pleasant for the consumer -- the business accountants simply have decided that it is an acceptable risk FOR THEM to have to repair/replace cheap computers as long as it happens less than 15-22% of the time.

Not kidding, there are name brand computers out there factored for as high as a 22% failure rate!

In Europe, those numbers are considered unacceptable. Consumers are willing to pay a few dollars more for a computer that will NOT let them down! A double digit rate of failure is considered demeaning to a company's reputation and is not an acceptable way of marketing their products!

When we created our non-linear video editing division, VideoEditSystems.com, the first thing that we all agreed upon was to manufacture and market computer systems that would be as "pain free" as possible. That meant researching the right components for video editing programs as finicky as Avid Media Composer, Liquid, and others. But in addition to having the right hardware (and knowing when not to scrimp on key components), our computers would also need a custom recipe of drivers & software. The computer systems would also need to be self-maintaining and as user-fixable as possible.

Pricing would have to affordable, but we were not trying to market our product on the basis of being the cheapest. We wanted our product to appeal to the individual or small company just getting started, and be able to grow along with the client's success and expansion.

Currently, we manufacture the best desktop, rackmount, and laptop computer solutions in the business! We also market (but not manufacture) the best mini-computer netbook for commuting.
