Why let Integrators do your next computer
MAN! We are building a house and we are going nuts!! Our builder has turned out to be worthless so I am having to do it myself! Now, I have done this before but it is insane. All of the details you have to remember to make sure it is done right and will be what you want it to be without problems.
It is not worth it¡K believe me! I would rather have my builder actually do his job and let me know when it is ready to move in. I could sit back and know that the builder would take care of any problems because of the warranty.
Oh what a wonderful world it would be!!
As I was thinking about how nice it would be to have somebody else take the responsibility and then take care of me afterward I started to think of the Computers we edit on.
Years ago it was very difficult to build an editing machine. A few companies had the formula and it cost quite a bit to acquire one of these finely tuned editing computers. Then computers became more powerful and people could buy stock machines and edit with them without to much trouble¡K or could they?
There are program out there that still benefit from special hardware such as Premiere, Avid, and Edius. Are these machines that easy to build correctly? Do we know if it is working the way it should?
I see folks on the Canopus forums complaining about Edius because they built their own and it seems as if Edius doesn¡¦t deliver what it promises. They are not happy when they find out that it is not Edius that is the problem.
Many think it is easy to build a system and it is not.
HD is coming on quick and now computers are as tricky to get right as they used to be. Folks will be building them and there will be no where to turn when things are not turning out the way they should.
I have built my own systems for years and it has now come to an end.
With my schedule these days it is impossible for me to keep up with what works best with what. I do not want to have to support the system I built¡K I want somebody else to do that.
What it comes down to is this. I want to Edit and not have to be a computer expert.
My new system is being built by GuyGraphics. Why? Because I have watched them for years and I have seen a couple of things that makes all of the difference.
First, they have one of the most incredible track records I have ever seen in the computer world. Their customers are happy because they deliver what they promise to.
Second, they have YEARS of experience in building some of the finest editing computers in the world.
Now, I know what you are thinking¡K Mike you are writing this on their site so have to say these things¡K no I do not. If they were not as good as they are, I wouldn¡¦t be here! ƒº
So, when you are ready for your next computer take a hard look at www.GuyGraphics.com or www.buycanopus.com
You will not be sorry!
