So what if I drop 122tb of local storage in a @falconnorthwest.bsky.social Tiki? on top of the Blackwell RTX Pro 6000 I Already added?
this much desktop compute and storage is just pure insanity.

Full review of the Solidigm soon, it's a monster.

The folks at Robeytech took Microsoft Flight Simulator to the next level, building a full simulator rig around our Intel Core Ultra 9 powered Talon PC. And you have to see WHERE they built it...

This elegant artwork made for one of the most beautiful Talon cases we've ever done. The gold on black tones complement the metal of the PC perfectly, and the client chose a gold plate behind the Falcon logo for the finishing touch. Gorgeous!

We know the lines have been long this spring, but GeForce RTX 50-Series card supply is improving and the beautiful 5070 Founders Editions have arrived!
Build times for many of our desktops are finally under 30 days on Tiki, FragBox & RAK models.

Friday's Foto: This Tiki with an RTX 5090 & 9800X3D is armed to the teeth for gaming inside, and hilarious on the outside. The client commissioned an artist to create "a chubby pigeon gaming". The artist even has the pigeon gaming on a Tiki on the Tiki.
10/10. No notes.

Congratulations @amdryzen.bsky.social! It's rare when a new product can be the best at so many things, but the new Ryzen 9950X3D CPU with 16 cores & 3D V-Cache dominated the press reviews at both gaming and productivity/creating tasks. We're proud to offer it in our custom desktop PCs.

Just got in the new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 @asusrog.bsky.social ASUS TUF Series model, and it's a bit larger than the Founders Edition version...
GTX 1080 for scale. 🤣

🤔How loud is the 2-slot NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition card design running Cyberpunk 4K at insane framerates? PC Centric tested that in our Talon system at Nvidia's CES demos.
Spoiler: impressively quiet!

If you’d like to see the new Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 in action in our Talon system, Linus was the first to (literally) get hands on with it. Yes, the 5090 from Nvidia is THAT small!

Friday's Foto: one of our proudest moments.
Impressing the recently-passed tech reviewer legend Gordon Mah Ung was tough. So to crack him up with a custom UV-printed side panel on our Talon, & then have him go into how impressed he was by the print quality was especially sweet.🥹

Gordon Ung covered our PCs for 25 years from Maximum PC Magazine to The Full Nerd. You might have never heard of us if it wasn't for him. He was the best. 😢
