About OrcaPC
Most business hardware is sold
to the wrong person
It is specified by whoever signs the purchase order and lived with by whoever maintains it. Those are rarely the same person, and almost nothing in the way computers are sold to businesses accounts for the difference.
01Why we exist
Every OrcaPC carries our name on the chassis and our number on the support line. One brand is accountable for the specification, the build, the imaging and the year-four repair — instead of four suppliers pointing at each other while a machine sits dead on somebody’s desk.
We do not fabricate silicon. What we own is every decision after it: which components go in, which configurations we are willing to put our name on, and how long we keep building them unchanged. That last one sounds unambitious, and it is the single thing that most affects what an estate costs to run — because the expensive part of owning computers is never the purchase. It is the deployment, the support calls, the failed update at a branch office, and the year-four repair that turns into a replacement because the part no longer exists.
So we optimise for the person who inherits the fleet. Standard parts. Locked builds. Remote management on anything that will sit in another building. Published pricing. On-site warranty that sends an engineer rather than a shipping label.

02How we work
Four commitments we will not trade away
A small range, held still
Twelve models. We would rather hold a bill of materials for four years than refresh the catalogue every quarter. If unit forty does not match unit one, your imaging breaks and your software certification lapses.
Standard parts, on purpose
Standard SFX power supplies, standard DIMMs, standard M.2. Proprietary parts are cheaper to make and more expensive to own. A machine you cannot repair in year four is a machine you replace in year four.
Priced in the open
Volume break points are published on every product page and apply automatically. Nobody should have to phone a salesperson to find out what forty units cost.
Deployment is part of the product
Imaging, asset tagging, BIOS lockdown and kitting happen before the pallet leaves us. Unboxing forty machines and imaging them one at a time is a week nobody costed for.
03The name
Why an orca
Orcas are the only animal we could think of that is simultaneously enormous, precise, extremely social and completely unbothered. They hunt in coordinated groups, pass techniques down through generations, and live for eighty years.
It is a slightly grand metaphor for a computer under a desk. But a fleet that works together, gets maintained by the people who came before you, and lasts longer than anyone expected is genuinely what we are aiming at.
Worth a conversation?
If you are specifying hardware for more than a handful of people, we would rather talk than have you guess from a spec sheet.
