Virtually-Silent Workstations

Need More Power?

To minimize acoustics and maximize silence, some items have been removed from the VSX Workstation options. Higher wattage (TDP) processors require more cooling that will negatively impact the system's volume. In the same vein, we do not offer more than dual processor silent workstation because of the adding cooling that is necessary. High-speed Serial Attached SCSI (or SAS) Hard Drives produce much more noise than a slower-rotating IntelliPower or 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive and have been omitted from the Hard Drive selections. If you need maximum clock speed, Quad or Higher CPUs, or SAS Hard Disks. Check out our High Performance HPX Series. Need a GPU-Optimized Supercomputing Solution with an NVIDIA Tesla GPU? Consider our GFX Series.

Noise Level Estimate

Found on our System Configurator for all VSX Series Workstations, the Noise Level Estimate makes a best-guess calculation on the noise of your custom workstation based on your selections. Many higher-end and higher-speed components require additional cooling and will negatively affect the acoustics of your workstation. Keep an eye on the Noise Level Estimate as you change video cards, hard drives, power supply, and other component options to keep the noise to a minimum. It is important to note that these estimates are not guarantees and that environmental factors like higher ambient temperatures will require higher fan speeds and cause more noise.

Designed for Quiet Environments

Our Silent Workstations are intended for use in acoustically sensitive locations like quiet office environments, libraries, classrooms, and studios. VSX Series Workstations fit perfect in Recording Studios where computer equipment cannot interfere with the recording process.
