In today’s high-stakes world of design and engineering, precision isn’t optional—it’s critical. Whether you're modeling complex mechanical assemblies in SolidWorks, rendering multi-layer architectural drawings in AutoCAD, or running simulations in Fusion 360 or CATIA, your workstation must be as sharp and reliable as the work you do.

That’s why PC Server and Parts is proud to offer refurbished, purpose-built CAD workstations—engineered for performance, stability, and long-term value. Our machines are fine-tuned to meet the high demands of CAD professionals, with the added benefit of being budget-conscious and sustainability-forward.

The Demands of CAD: More Than Just Power

CAD workloads are some of the most hardware-intensive tasks out there. Generic PCs can’t cut it—and here’s why:

• High clock speed CPUs are essential for smooth performance during single-threaded modeling tasks.
• ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory reduces crashes and data corruption during extended design sessions.
• Professional-grade GPUs—like NVIDIA Quadro or RTX and AMD Radeon Pro—provide pixel-perfect accuracy and render complex 3D visuals without lag.
• Fast, redundant storage is critical for handling massive design files while ensuring quick access and safe backups.

If you're serious about CAD, relying on a general-purpose desktop just won't cut it. You need a system that’s built from the ground up for design.

What to Look for in a CAD Workstation

Not all workstations are created equal. When evaluating systems for CAD, prioritize the following components:

• CPU: Choose high base-clock Intel Xeon or Core i7/i9 processors—multi-core where needed, but speed always takes priority in CAD.
• Memory: A minimum of 32GB ECC DDR4 RAM is recommended, with expansion potential up to 128GB or more.
• GPU: A certified GPU such as NVIDIA Quadro RTX or AMD Radeon Pro is ideal. For CAD workloads, a minimum of 6GB VRAM ensures stability and performance.
• Storage: Dual-drive setups work best. Use an NVMe SSD for your operating system and software, and a larger SATA SSD or HDD for storing project files.

At PC Server and Parts, our preconfigured and custom-build systems—like the Dell Precision line and HP Z-series—check every box.
