Why Buy a BOXX 3D Workstation or Render Farm

Try calling one of the top tier workstation manufacturers and asking them a question about ray trace rendering or how many triangles per second you can push with their graphics workstation or compositing 3ds Max rendering in Photoshop CS5. Give it a try, but be prepared for the stunned silence that follows. They can rarely help someone who is having difficulty accessing the internet (“Have you tried unplugging and re-plugging in the modem?”) so how can they possibly help you? Short answer: they can’t. Here’s a good reason why BOXX is the professional’s choice: our expert sales consultants, engineers, and legendary technical support not only know everything about BOXX hardware, they also have intimate knowledge of the professional software applications you rely on and the optimal workflow for your business.

Big name computer manufacturers, with their large overhead and massive workforce, are chained to a business model which insists they sell a million or more units of particular product in order for that product to be profitable. At BOXX, we don’t subscribe to that notion and instead, choose to focus on the specific needs of our customers. And because we are a smaller company, we’re much more agile and able to respond quickly, providing the custom, purpose-built 3D workstations and state-of-the-art rendering systems you won’t find anywhere else.

From our high performance, 4 GPU, 3DBOXX workstations (including remote access and record-setting XTREME editions), to our mobile workstations and state-of-the-art rendering systems, BOXX designs and builds professional solutions that power your software and render your creations faster than any other. But you don’t have to take our word for it. Consult independent product reviews or bench mark tests and you’ll discover that BOXX builds the fastest solutions in the world.

We don’t just build workstations and rendering systems—we solve problems. If you visit our website or call one of our expert sales consultants, the odds are substantial that you are faced with workflow issue and are in search of a solution, i.e., you didn’t call because you’re satisfied with your current hardware. In fact, there’s a saying around BOXX that when it’s all said and done and you’re the immensely proud and delighted owner of your new BOXX solution, you either bought the world’s most expensive email machine or we just solved your problem. We’ll go with the latter on that one every time.

BOXX has over 15 years worth of experience designing, manufacturing, and testing high performance solutions built exclusively for creative professionals and the software applications they rely on.

Have time for an analogy? Take two identical stacks of lumber, tools, and instructions. Give one set to a master carpenter and the other to a handyman. Which one will create the piece of furniture that you’d like to own?

We hear a lot about components—as if all workstations are created equal based solely upon their components. Truth is . . . it doesn’t work that way. Our innovative integration of only enterprise class components, drives, and customized BIOS sets us apart from the “off the shelf” workstation manufacturers, just as our unique engineering concepts (easily expandable, over clocking, liquid cooling, specially tuned air cooling, and chassis design) demonstrates the difference between what it means to be a professional 3D workstation and a standard workstation. As for that analogy, you guessed it. We’re the master carpenter.

The graphic workstation market place includes generalist hardware manufacturers (HP, Dell, Apple, etc.) that rely on a one size fits all approach—like those vast car dealerships laden with endless rows of generic vehicles. BOXX is just the opposite.

We specialize in the professional visualization market, providing cool, quiet, record-setting, solutions tailored to meet your specific workflow needs—VFX workstations, animation workstations, engineering workstations, arch viz workstations, and . . . you get the idea. We’re the workstation equivalent of a custom shop, building hot rods that will take your applications and workflow faster and farther than ever before. At BOXX, SPEED KILLS isn’t a slogan, it’s a mantra. For the BOXX customer, the creative professional, speed kills deadlines, kills the competition, saves time, and increases profit. So how fast do you want to go?

At BOXX, we don’t manufacture entry level or consumer grade systems. All of our high performance workstations and rendering systems are professional grade— easily expandable and devoid of useless bloatware. If you’ve been reading, then you already know about our innovative integration of enterprise class components and customized BIOS. But what you may not know is that we design our own chassis (a rarity among similar sized competitors) and that we steer clear of plastic and OEM materials. What does all this mean for you? A system running at peak performance, a longer product life cycle, and no replacement costs. BOXX solutions have less than one quarter of one percent return rate. Think about it. That’s comparable to having no return rate at all. And it’s also why you’ll never find used BOXX solutions on eBay or anywhere else. BOXX users will tell you that once you go BOXX, you’ll never go back. And by the way, we don’t have a refurb department. Dell and HP do however, which only demonstrates how good they think their products are.

BOXX thoroughly tests the components that are integrated into our systems, working closely with our strategic partners—industry leaders like Intel, Microsoft, AMD, NVIDIA and others. And because we also test with the same professional software applications you rely on, we work with leading software manufacturers like Autodesk, Adobe, SolidWorks, and many others, to develop solutions that will provide stable support and take optimal advantage of an application’s unique features. In addition, BOXX solutions are certified by both Autodesk and SolidWorks to run their professional software applications. Our exemplary standing with software providers also reaps dividends for our customers: if you’re ever faced with a software issue, you can rely on BOXX to advocate for you and work with the software provider to arrive at the solution you need.

The expert BOXX sales consultant who listens to your workflow issues and provides you with the specific solution, the engineers at BOXXlabs who design and thoroughly test your BOXX solution, the skilled production techs who build it, and the professionals of legendary BOXX Technical Support who can solve any problem you may encounter, can be found right here at BOXX headquarters in Austin, Texas. Sales, engineering, manufacturing, and support all right here with 100% of your money staying in the U.S.A.? That’s right. And no other computer company in the U.S. can make that claim.

BOXX not only builds custom workstations with best-in-class components that (in the case of our XTREME additions) include liquid cooling and over-clocking to 4.2 GHz—we also support them with a three year limited warranty. Three years? That’s right, and no other manufacturer’s warranty even comes close.

If you need to speak to legendary BOXX Technical Support, you can reach a living, breathing, human professional Monday - Friday, 7am - 6pm CST by calling 1-877-877-BOXX(2699) in the US or 1-512-835-0400 outside the US or by creating a Support Inquiry. You can reach an expert sales consultant at the same numbers from 9am-6pm CST and once your system is ordered, you won’t be waiting long. Dell customers are asked to wait 3 to 4 weeks to receive their products, but BOXX knows that your creative business can’t wait that long. That’s why our turnaround times are so fast. Your customers expect as much from you, and you can expect the same from BOXX.

After perusing all the information on this page, you probably understand why your purpose-built BOXX solution costs more than a similarly configured, mass-produced workstation. And hopefully, you realize that BOXX value makes it all worthwhile, i.e., you get what you pay for. Still need convincing? Well, consider this: A new study conducted by an industry-leading Fortune 500 engineering firm indicates that a 3DBOXX 4800 Series workstation pays for itself in as little as 24 weeks, and will generate $24,000 worth of savings in worker efficiency over five years. Even better, BOXX users, on average, can expect an ROI within ten weeks of their initial capital expense and over time, an ROI as high as 10 times that amount.

Our competitors employ thousands at busy call centers throughout the world, but if you ask them a question about rendering, brace for silence. But you can trust BOXX, the rendering authority that brought you renderBOXX, renderPRO, and ROW: RenderFarm on Wheels, for knowledge, expertise, and innovative rendering solutions that will save you time, money, and increase productivity and profit—all backed by our legendary technical support. We build the rendering solutions and know the professional applications, rendering engines, and queue management software, as well as the hows and whys of building an efficient render farm. If your question is rendering, the only solution is BOXX.
