  • Thank you.

    It's running two large 4K projection screens and two 5.1 audio channels

  • Perfect.

    2 x 4k renders is within the realm of a single gaming PC and 1 high-end graphics card, or a pair of mid-end graphics card.

    The audio is almost irrelevant, everything does surround sound or can with a very cheap sound card.

    I'd give either NovaTech and PCSpecialist a call and explain what you have and ask for recommendations.

    Key things to communicate:

    • Unreal Engine
    • 2 x 4k outputs set to High Quality
    • Art installation means it's going to run for a long time and needs to sustain this (it implies cooling that really can handle this - which it should, but they should bear it in mind)
    • 5.1 audio outputs needed (irrelevant as the chips are already on every motherboard, but they may throw in a cheap sound card just to split the outputs)

    Assumption in all of the above is that you already have the projectors - if this is true, telling them whether you need 2 x HDMI or 2 x DisplayPort supported on the graphics card is slightly relevant.

    You'll end up with a machine that has lights in it - I can't help you there, but you can always turn this stuff off within the software that comes with the box.
