(The Nuances of System Integration)

Most people can bring a bag of groceries home and make a decent dinner.

A trained Gourmet Chef can take that same bag of groceries and turn them into a dining experience you will remember for a long time.

Building a computer system can be compared to cooking dinner. You buy a bag of parts and throw them together. Hopefully, what you end up with tastes good.

As with a gourmet meal, it takes a trained professional to understand the many nuances of integrating a computer system. Chassis Plans' Integration Team has 50 years of experience assembling industrial rackmount computers. They understand the complexities of today's motherboards, bios, components and operating systems. These guys aren't short order cooks. They are artists in their own right. This assures your systems are built right.

Details on Chassis Plans Computer Configured Systems Offered can be found here.

Windows isn't known as "Plug and Pray" for nothing. In the proper hands, Windows can be installed and tweaked with the right drivers and settings to create a trouble free operating environment. You just have to have the experience and Chassis Plans has that experience to correctly configure your operating system. Linux your choice? Same experience there also.

Your systems will be carefully analyzed and laid out for card, drive and cable placement to minimize any impact on cooling and operation. The inside of your integrated system will be neat and orderly. Cables will be tied down. Your systems will look good and be easy to maintain. No loose wires or connectors to cause mischief.

Our Integrators will work on your system in a static free environment and use sophisticated testing suites to fully qualify each computer. Your systems will be burned in to assure long term out-of-the-box reliability.

Chassis Plans uses recipes. Your computer will be fully documented for future repeat builds so the 1,000th system is built the same as the 1st. No guessing. No tribal knowledge. Simply follow the recipe. The Integration Instructions are put together by our Quality Assurance department to document in detail the first build. Then any of the Integrators can build identical systems.

Like going back to that restaurant because you keep getting great meals. Companies such as Northrop Grumman, Lockheed, L3, Nikon and many others keep coming back to Chassis Plans because they get great value, outstanding service, and integrated computers second to none. They know their systems are the best and will work. A majority of the product we ship is integrated because companies trust us.

By the way, buy an integrated system from us and next time you are in San Diego, we'd love to treat you to a great meal at one of our local world class restaurants because we'd like to thank you for your business.
