Specialist dual-GPU workstation
Company 64
A specialist two-GPU tower for teams that cannot use a rack - not the next step in the standard range.
A separately evaluated Threadripper workstation for concurrent private AI, development, rendering and batch queues, with 64GB aggregate GPU memory.
Specialist workstation outside the standard range.
This tower is evaluated only when two GPU workers are required and a rack genuinely cannot be used. It is not the next tier after Core 48.

Buyer fit
Start with the reason to own it.
A workstation-form company platform for two useful GPU queues, or for a supported multi-GPU workload proven on the exact model and runtime before purchase.
Indicative purchase price
£37,000
ex VAT · £44,400 inc VAT
Proposed indicative price, excluding VAT. Final price, specification, availability, delivery, warranty and model fit require a current supplier quote and written order confirmation.
A credible fit
- Two independent private AI or development workers
- A company assistant alongside rendering, transcription or batch work
- A technical office that needs more capacity but cannot yet support a rack server
Choose another route when
- One guaranteed 64GB model without supported multi-GPU validation
- A quiet desk-side role beside occupied workstations
- A buyer who needs redundant power, rack serviceability or enterprise GPU support

Supplier views establish the proposed physical family; the original technical plates explain memory, data-boundary, queue and handover decisions. None replaces the final bill of materials or workload test.
Workload route
Every use needs its own acceptance test.
Model name and aggregate VRAM do not prove a business outcome. Each proposed route below states how the capacity could be used and what must be tested before the order treats it as suitable.
01
Company assistant plus build queue
- Proposed use
- Keep one GPU on an approved assistant while the second handles coding, transcription, embeddings or another scheduled service.
- Acceptance evidence
- Test the interactive service alone and under the agreed mixed workload, recording response time, queue delay and wall power.
02
Rendering and batch production
- Proposed use
- Divide independent render, image or analytical jobs between two GPU workers.
- Acceptance evidence
- Measure completed useful work, temperature, failure recovery and acoustic impact over a representative production run.
03
Supported model sharding
- Proposed use
- Evaluate a model across both GPUs only where the model and runtime support the intended execution pattern.
- Acceptance evidence
- Record per-GPU memory, throughput and latency at the disclosed quantisation, context, batch and concurrency.
Specification certainty ledger
Known, proposed and still to be confirmed.
A proposal should expose missing facts. The final order replaces every confirmation row with an exact part, measured result or named customer decision.
| Item | Current value | Status | What the record must show |
|---|---|---|---|
| Form factor | Workstation | Package proposal | The site, delivery and support route is designed around this physical class. |
| Physical platform | UK-built full-tower dual-GPU AI workstation | Package proposal | Platform family selected for the proposed configuration. |
| GPU route | 2 × NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition 32GB | Package proposal | Exact manufacturer, part number, condition and serials belong in the final bill of materials. |
| Per-GPU memory | 32GB | Package proposal | The safer model-fit starting point before any supported multi-GPU test. |
| Aggregate GPU memory | 64GB across 2 GPUs | Package proposal | Not presented as one universal memory pool. |
| System memory | 128GB | Package proposal | Memory population, speed and expansion route require the final platform bill. |
| Primary storage | 2TB NVMe | Package proposal | Drive model, endurance, layout and backup destination are confirmed in the order. |
| Network | 10GbE plus 2.5GbE | Package proposal | Customer switching, cabling, storage traffic and segmentation remain part of site design. |
| Power planning | 2050W PSU; dedicated circuit, heat and acoustic review required | Customer decision | A qualified site review and measured reference build must replace the planning figure. |
| CPU and motherboard | AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9960X, 24 cores / 48 threads | Package proposal | Current supplier reference value; the exact motherboard, lane layout and part numbers still belong in the final bill. |
| Power supplies and leads | To be confirmed for the ordered build and UK site | Supplier confirmation | Include PSU count, rating, redundancy position, input requirements and lead specification. |
| Remote management | Platform route to be confirmed and access policy agreed | Supplier confirmation | The supplier interface shown in the gallery is a reference, not a promise of the final feature set. |
| Dimensions and weight | Full-tower chassis; exact ordered dimensions and weight required | Supplier confirmation | Placement, handling and the delivery route depend on the exact ordered-system values. |
| Hardware warranty route | Supplier advertises three years: year one onsite, years two and three return to base | Supplier confirmation | The final order records the whole-system, component, onsite, return and dead-on-arrival boundaries. |
32GB
Per GPU is the first sizing boundary.
Company 64 has 2 GPUs and 64GB aggregate VRAM. A runtime may split a supported model or distribute independent jobs, but the page does not claim one physical 64GB memory pool. Quantisation, context, KV cache, batching and concurrency still change fit.
Software and security
The usable product is more than the chassis.
The final stack stays deliberately small. Versions, licences, access and recurring ownership are recorded so the customer is not left with an opaque collection of containers.
Proposed software baseline
- Ubuntu LTS on a recorded operating-system version
- NVIDIA driver, CUDA components and container support validated for the ordered hardware
- Docker Engine and NVIDIA Container Toolkit
- One primary model server selected from Ollama, vLLM or llama.cpp for the accepted workload
- Open WebUI or another reviewed browser interface
- Named authentication, TLS and reverse-proxy approach
- GPU, node and service monitoring with an agreed log-retention period
- Pinned versions, a software bill of materials and a model source and licence record
Security ownership
- GPU RIGS baseline
- Initial operating-system state, named administrator handover, host firewall baseline, agreed access route, secrets transfer and documented update state.
- Customer or contracted operator
- User lifecycle, network and VPN policy, backups, monitoring review, patch approval, incident response, data governance and lawful use.
- Shared before acceptance
- Model and software licence checks, retention and logging choices, recovery test, acceptance criteria and a named owner for every recurring task.
Local infrastructure can reduce disclosure to external AI APIs. It does not automatically make the service secure, accurate, confidential or UK GDPR compliant.
Testing and acceptance
The evidence pack is part of the machine.
No public benchmark is invented for this page. The accepted workload, exact build and disclosed test conditions decide what can be claimed after the reference system exists.
- 01
Record the final bill of materials, serial numbers and firmware versions.
- 02
Run at least 24 hours of GPU, CPU, memory and storage stress testing.
- 03
Capture temperature, fan, error, health and wall-power evidence under the agreed load.
- 04
Test cold boot, restart and the available remote-management route.
- 05
Check drive health, network throughput and the container and GPU runtime.
- 06
Run model and workload smoke tests against the written acceptance set.
- 07
Record any measured speed only with the model, quantisation, context, concurrency and runtime disclosed.
- 08
Test an agreed fault or recovery route and provide the resulting handover record.
What is not claimed today
No fixed users, tokens per second, latency, model size, accuracy, availability, savings or marketplace contribution is stated without the missing configuration and test conditions.

The room is part of the specification.
Planning power is not a measured promise. The final pre-flight records the circuit, voltage, loaded wall power, heat route, noise tolerance, rack, network, UPS decision and operating owner.
Read the site guideMeasure
Current loaded-system planning basis
- A floor-standing technical workspace with unrestricted airflow and safe physical clearance
- An electrical route approved for the final measured load; a dedicated circuit may be required
- Cooling and acoustic review for the real duty cycle
- 10GbE switching and cabling where local data transfer requires it
- A named technical owner and a written backup, update and access policy
Delivery, support and warranty
A written boundary before money moves.
The proposed route covers discovery, configuration, evidence and remote handover. It does not quietly absorb facilities work, migration or an always-on managed service.
Included in the proposed baseline
- Documented workload and site-fit review
- Confirmed bill of materials before procurement
- Configuration, burn-in and agreed smoke-test evidence
- Asset schedule, admin notes and user quick-start material
- Collection or the quoted kerbside or pallet-delivery route
- Remote onboarding and 30-day configuration-defect support
Separate scope or customer responsibility
- Building electrical work, rack, UPS, cooling or structured cabling
- Nationwide on-site installation unless separately quoted
- Migration of customer data, every integration or every application
- Continuous managed operations, security monitoring or a 24-hour support agreement
- Third-party model, API, marketplace or software charges
- A compliance certificate, performance guarantee or income guarantee
Supplier and warranty gates
Unresolved items stay visible.
- Current trade or delivered price, availability and lead time confirmed before quotation
- Exact dual-GPU spacing, motherboard topology, power leads, thermals and firmware compatibility recorded
- GPU, whole-system, onsite, dead-on-arrival and return responsibilities confirmed in writing
- Written permission or replacement photography obtained before supplier images are publicly released
- Reference mixed-workload thermals, wall power and acoustics captured before an acceptance claim
Evidence and change record
Proposal inputs remain dated.
- Package model
- UK proposal reviewed 25 July 2026
- Price state
- Calculated from dated public supplier inputs, not a live quotation
- Performance state
- No public benchmark until the exact reference build is tested
- OEM platform record
- Exact platform identity and bill of materials provided in the written quotation.
Commercial reality
Tax and spare capacity are supporting questions.
Neither belongs in a guaranteed saving or payback claim. The purchase must stand on the accepted workload, control case and operating plan.
Finance, VAT and capital allowances
- The displayed price is an indicative proposal based on dated public supplier inputs. The final bill of materials and supplier quote control the order.
- Prices exclude VAT. VAT recovery depends on the buyer, its taxable activities and the normal evidence rules.
- Qualifying equipment may be plant and machinery for capital-allowance purposes. The buyer's accountant decides eligibility and timing.
- A third-party lease or hire-purchase route may be explored after partner validation and credit approval. GPU RIGS is not presented as a lender.
- There is no generic capital-gains advantage and no automatic research and development relief because the equipment supports AI.
Optional idle capacity
- Marketplace mode is off by default and is excluded from the purchase case.
- A separate environment, no customer data mounts, network controls and a local kill switch would be required.
- The customer, insurer, supplier warranty and marketplace terms must permit the proposed use.
- Vast.ai, Render, Golem and direct batch work do not guarantee acceptance, demand, rate or income.
- Any pilot must report achieved utilisation, fees, electricity, cooling, faults and operator time before continuation.
Limits and alternatives
A good specification leaves room for “no”.
The fit check can recommend a smaller system, hosted service, hybrid route, custom build or no purchase. That is preferable to making this package carry a workload it has not proved.
Package boundaries
- The two GPUs provide 64GB aggregate VRAM, not one universal 64GB memory pool.
- The public configuration states that the GPUs do not use NVLink.
- The 2050W PSU, heat, weight and acoustic impact need a pre-order site review.
- Each GPU has 32GB of local VRAM. The 64GB figure is aggregate capacity.
- No NVLink or one-pool memory claim is made.
- No user-count, token-rate, latency, accuracy or energy-cost promise is made before testing.
- The proposal is based on a public retail listing, not a reseller appointment or supplier partnership.

Consider this routeQuestions answered
Company 64 questions that affect the order
These answers preserve the validation boundary. The written quotation and acceptance plan replace proposal assumptions.
Why does Company 64 cost more than Core 48?
It uses two current 32GB RTX 5090 GPUs, a Threadripper platform and a public UK-built workstation whose input cost is materially higher. Core 48 uses refurbished 24GB GPUs and carries a different warranty risk.
Can one model use all 64GB?
Not automatically. The machine has two 32GB GPUs without NVLink. Some runtimes can split supported models, but memory behaviour and speed must be tested.
Can it work in an office?
It avoids the rack requirement, but two high-end GPUs and a 2050W PSU create significant heat and fan noise. Electrical, thermal and acoustic acceptance is mandatory.
Is the £37,000 price final?
No. It is an indicative ex-VAT proposal based on a public UK supplier price reviewed on 26 July 2026. The current quote, exact parts and delivery terms control the order.
