Quality from the Ground Up
We believe quality components build a quality 3XS system.
Open and honest with quality
We're open and honest about all the components used in our PCs, workstations and servers - you can see exact specification and model details of every option within our configurators. We aim to provide the best balance of price versus performance in all our systems whatever the budget - we’ll never use cheaper unbranded components to cut corners and likewise we’ll never use unnecessarily high spec or overly expensive components if they aren’t required in the build.
Let’s learn a bit more about the key partners and products that help us build our award-winning 3XS systems.
