Certified Hardware and Self Build Options

Hi Support

 

We as an IT company would like to give our clients the option to not only purchase Dell and HP workstations but also custom built machines as we can spec these more accurately for what they need.

 

We have the problem where if we were not using certified hardware and the Autodesk Software would not work that it could be blamed on the Hardware. How do we get around this?

 

I have put a desktop together and would like to get an opinion if this would be feasible. The client would like to use this for Revit Ultimate suite.

 

How does one custom build a desktop, and have the ability to say it is hardware certified for the product they want to use? The main thing here is GPU, CPU, Motherboard, RAM and HDD.
