Optimist PC Works · Simulation and training

The workstation that fits inside the simulator.

Small, very quiet, water-cooled workstations for simulator makers, training programs and research labs. NVIDIA’s most powerful workstation GPU, in a box that sits in a cockpit, a console or a classroom without a server room or the noise.

An NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell (96 GB), custom water-cooled, in about the space of a shoebox.

  • World recordSmallest self-contained desktop PC supporting NVIDIA’s most powerful Blackwell GPU.
  • In serviceInside air traffic control training and maritime simulators.
  • Government workU.S. government subcontractor, with training rigs at two U.S. airports.

Systems

Two machines, one idea: more GPU per liter.

Every system is assembled, tested and burned in by our team in North Carolina, then supported by the same people after it ships.

On-premises AI that sits in an office, not a server room. Your data stays on the machine. Simulation companies are our first adopters.

Why small matters

Space in a simulator is the scarcest thing in it.

Most simulator makers build their own PCs from off-the-shelf parts or buy towers that were never meant to live inside a rig. We take that problem off your engineers’ plate.

i.

It fits where the trainee is.

Behind a panel, under a console, inside a cabin or a trailer. One compact box per seat instead of a rack in the next room.

ii.

It stays quiet.

Water cooling keeps a 600 W GPU calm enough to sit beside an instructor and a student, or in an office with no server closet.

iii.

It’s one less variable.

A standard, burned-in machine for every unit you ship, with the same build every time and a team that answers when something needs attention.

Working together

We can be your hardware team.

Start a conversation
  • SpecWe match the build to your software, displays and headsets, and keep the configuration stable across your fleet.
  • DesignCustom chassis work when your product needs it, with renders and product photos for your team.
  • BuildComponent sourcing, assembly and burn-in in North Carolina.
  • SupportThe people who built the machine support it after it ships.

Who we build for

Built for the people who build simulators.

Almost every system we deliver runs a simulator. Here is where they go.

Flight and ATC

Training devices, image generators and tower simulators.

Maritime

Bridge and engine-room simulators.

Defense and public safety

Deployable trainers that travel in cases and trailers.

Research labs

University teams that need a big GPU at the desk.
