Best Computer For SolidWorks

We build high-end workstations tailored just for you

Speak To A Consultant

Here at Modena Computers, we believe there is no such thing as “one size fits all” workstations. Our years’ of experience as both hardware and software professionals has taught us that workstations are more than just the sum of their parts, and that very rarely do people or companies have the exact same workflow.

We understand that software packages make use of various components that make up your computer in very different ways. This is why we treat every customer as a unique individual with specific requirements. Every interaction starts with our consultant asking key questions in order to better understand your workflow, and what you’ll ultimately require from your workstation.

This includes not only questions about the type of software being used, but also the specific functions and features used most often in that software.

We are confident that you’ve come to the right place for the absolute Best Computer For SolidWorks.

Recommendations For The Best Computer For SolidWorks

Processor

For most SolidWorks users, the best CPU is one with an as high core frequency as possible. This is the “GHz” that you see in the specs. Generally, the higher the CPU frequency, the less cores it will have. Unless you’re also doing heavy rendering or Simulation/FEA, multiple cores won’t provide much of a performance advantage. Not all user workflows are the same though, so be sure and contact us for an optimized configuration.

Memory

The amount of memory you will need depends on how many programs you will have open at any given time alongside SolidWorks, how large the files are that you will be working with, as well as how many parts your assemblies contain. A good starting point in deciding how much RAM you should go for would be to check your current usage via Windows Task Manager.

Graphics Card

SolidWorks is one of the programs where using a “workstation grade” GPU like the Nvidia Quadro card is beneficial. Even low-end Quadro cards outperform high-end GeForce GPUs, and certain features will not work without Quadro.

Storage

In the past, computers were held back by slow mechanical hard drives.  Unless you are storing files which are not accessed too often, in which case mechanical hard drives might be a better choice, Solid State drives should be used for everything else. Having everything stored on SSDs means you’ll be able to copy, move, open and save files quickly and PC and program start times will be reduced.

Our Modena Computers Vs “The Rest”

Frustrated by workstations from Dell, HP, Lenovo and the like, we knew that we could create computers that would outperform anything in the market.

For For Purpose

The perfect PC isn’t one-size-fits-all. We’ll guide you along every step of the way in helping you choose the right configuration for your unique needs.

Build Quality

We obsess over every computer we create. During our extensive production process, each screw is turned by hand and each wire tucked away for cooling & aesthetics.

No Bloatware

Bloatware slows your computer down by consuming resources, turning what should be fresh start into a cluttered and frustrating experience.

Setup & Ready To Go

After being meticulously assembled, tested and benchmarked, we apply the latest updates to both the operating system, application software and drivers.

Premium Parts & Advanced Cooling

We use only the best parts in our computers, always choosing reliable faster parts over economical cheap alternatives other companies quote you on.

Meticulous Assembly

Each PC we build is done so by a single technician with a full multipoint QC check done before it leaves our premises minimising the chances of you having to deal with issues.

Testing Process

We put every build through an extensive checklist including stress & benchmarking tests to ensure it’s perfect before it leaves our premises.

Longevity & Extrme Reliability

The longest lasting desktop PC's you will ever own thanks to high-quality components and carefully thought-out component selection.
