Desktops
Desktops remain the most cost-effective platform for sustained performance, repairability and upgrade options. Our Unity Tech Shop catalogue includes compact desktops and all-in-one systems for office and reception areas, tower workstations for designers and engineers and thin clients for virtualised desktop environments. Choose a configuration that balances processor performance, memory and storage for the intended workload. For example, CAD, 3D rendering and scientific computing benefit from higher core counts, professional GPUs and fast NVMe storage, while standard office workloads will run well on mainstream processors with SSD boot drives and sufficient RAM.
Consider long-term maintainability: tower chassis with tool-less access simplify component upgrades, and modular power supplies and standardised drive bays make servicing straightforward. For multi-user environments, thin clients reduce endpoint management overhead when paired with server-side virtualisation.
Security options such as TPM chips, chassis intrusion detection and BIOS management features are important for regulated sectors. Our range also includes accessories such as monitors, UPS units and peripherals to complete a workstation deployment.
FAQs
For business purchases, pre-built machines with commercial support are usually the most convenient option.
Ensure CPU socket and chipset match, choose sufficient RAM for your workload, select an appropriate GPU for graphics tasks, and pick a PSU with headroom and an efficiency rating. Also verify case size and cooling capacity to fit components and maintain stable temperatures.
Very important. A reputable, correctly sized power supply improves reliability and allows future upgrades. Good case airflow and quality fans or a suitable CPU cooler keep temperatures down and extend component life.
Use an NVMe SSD for the operating system and frequently used applications to maximise responsiveness, with SATA SSDs or HDDs for bulk storage as required. For redundancy or uptime, consider RAID or networked storage solutions.
Business desktops typically offer longer warranty terms and options for on-site support or rapid replacement. Confirm response times, covered components and available service add-ons when purchasing for a fleet.
