The fleet

Exact configurations, priced monthly

A sample of what ships most. Every unit lists its exact CPU, GPU and memory — the fleet runs current-generation Blackwell and Zen 5 alongside proven previous-generation parts, and the listing tells you which. Full inventory runs to 38 configurations across workstations, render nodes, storage, networking, laptops and reference monitors.

How renting works

Three steps, no procurement cycle

  1. 1

    Tell us the job

    Seat count, software, deadline, delivery address. A phone call works; the form takes two minutes.

  2. 2

    Itemised quote

    Per machine, per month, with the generation of every unit stated. Longer terms are priced lower.

  3. 3

    Delivered and configured

    We image, deliver and set up. In Los Angeles that is often same-day; everywhere else, shipped nationwide.

IT services

We also run the infrastructure

Rentals are half the business. The other half is keeping studio infrastructure standing.

More on services →Holiday cover for your IT person →

Content security & TPN readiness

We implement the MPA content-security practices behind TPN and prepare studios for Blue and Gold Shield assessment — which is carried out by an authorised TPN assessor, not by us.

  • TPN gap assessment and roadmap
  • Segmented content network build
  • Policy and evidence documentation

Managed IT Support

Technicians who have run post pipelines before, not a helpdesk reading a script.

  • Helpdesk & troubleshooting
  • Network & storage
  • Same-day on-site in LA

Studio Buildouts

New facility or a move. Racks, cabling, power and network sized for what post actually pulls.

  • Network architecture
  • CAT6/6A & fibre
  • Server & storage install

Secure Project Setup

Isolated environments for work under content-security terms.

  • Isolated VLANs
  • Encrypted storage
  • Access control & audit

Value beyond the rack

Savings you can take back to your CFO

Studios call us for machines. What tends to keep them is that we look at the bills nobody else re-reads. None of it is billable on its own — it is what a technician who already knows your environment notices while they are in it.

Telecom and auto-attendant

Legacy phone systems quietly bill for seats and features nobody uses, and auto-attendant charges are among the worst offenders. We audit the line items and move studios onto modern equivalents where it makes sense.

  • Line-by-line bill review
  • Carrier and platform migration
  • Numbers ported, nothing lost

Internet and circuits

Business internet contracts renew at a worse rate than they started, every year, unless somebody pushes back. We re-shop the circuit at renewal and hold the provider to the market rate.

  • Annual renewal review
  • Competitive quotes on the same circuit
  • Bandwidth matched to real pipeline load

Licences and standing spend

Seats bought for a show that wrapped. Cloud storage nobody has opened in a year. Overlapping tools from two different departments. We flag them; you decide.

  • Subscription and seat audit
  • Duplicate tooling flagged
  • Findings written up so you can forward them

We do not take a percentage of what we find and we do not resell any of these services — the savings are yours, and the write-up is yours to hand to whoever signs off.

Proof

We publish the things most vendors hide

You cannot check a testimonial. You can check every one of these.

How old every machine is

All 38 configurations graded against each manufacturer’s own current lineup, with sources — including the units that came back previous-generation or discontinued.

Every figure, with its source

The 42 numbers behind our tools, each with its origin, date and confidence grade. Where we could not verify something, it says so.

The case against renting

Our own comparison tool, built so buying can win when buying is right. You supply your acquisition costs — we do not invent them.

Run the numbers →

Client names and quotes go here once the studios involved have agreed in writing to be named. We would rather show you nothing than show you something invented.

Tell us the show. We'll send a quote you can forward.

Machine counts, software, start date, delivery address. You get it itemised per machine per month, with the generation of every unit stated — so the person approving it can see exactly what they are paying for.
