Snapshot

The 30-Second Version

A rendering beast with a top-tier CPU, massive 128GB of RAM, and chart-topping 8TB of storage. The core specs are incredible for video editing and 3D work, but a questionable PSU choice and low brand reliability scores give us pause. If you need raw power and don't mind a slight gamble on support, this is a compelling specialist tool.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Best-in-class storage capacity with a combined 8TB of NVMe SSD space. 100th
  • 128GB of DDR5 RAM is more than enough for the most complex projects. 99th
  • The 24-core CPU is a rendering powerhouse, near the top of our charts. 98th
  • Quiet 240mm AIO cooler keeps the system focused on work, not noise. 86th

Cons

  • The 750W Bronze PSU is underpowered for this class of hardware.
  • Reliability scores are worryingly low in our database.
  • Port selection is just average, you might need a hub.
  • No price listed, but expect to pay a premium for this level of customization.

The proof

Performance

The Core Ultra 9 285K is an absolute monster for multi-threaded work, landing in the 98th percentile of our CPU database. It chews through rendering and timeline scrubbing without breaking a sweat. The RTX 5070 Ti with 16GB of VRAM is a strong performer too, sitting in the 85th percentile, which means it handles GPU-accelerated effects and 3D viewports with ease. The real standout is the storage setup, two 4TB NVMe drives that put this system at the very top of the charts. The only real bottleneck we see is that PSU. A 750W Bronze unit is cutting it close for a system under full load, and it doesn't leave much room for future upgrades.

vs Competition

Stacked against the Lenovo Legion 34IAS10 and HP Omen GT22, this Adamant Custom build takes a different approach. The Lenovo and HP are more polished, pre-built gaming and creator hybrids with better brand reliability and often cleaner cable management. The ASUS ROG GM700TZ is a flashier, more gamer-focused alternative. What Adamant offers is a more bare-metal, spec-first workstation. You get a higher core count CPU and more RAM than you'd typically find in those off-the-shelf competitors, but you trade away the peace of mind that comes with a big-name warranty and proven build quality. The MSI EdgeXpert and Dell Tower Plus are in a similar boat, more balanced but less extreme on the core specs.

Value & Pricing

Since there's no price listed, we're flying a bit blind on pure value. But a system with a Core Ultra 9, RTX 5070 Ti, 128GB of RAM, and 8TB of storage isn't going to be cheap. You're paying for a specialist tool, and the component choices reflect that. The value proposition takes a hit from that budget-feeling PSU and the brand's low reliability score. If this rig is priced competitively against a similarly specced Lenovo Legion or HP Omen, it's a solid deal for the raw performance. If it's marked up significantly, that reliability risk becomes a lot harder to swallow.

Overview

This is a no-nonsense video editing and 3D modeling rig from Adamant Custom, built around Intel's new Core Ultra 9 285K and an RTX 5070 Ti. It's not trying to be a flashy gaming PC with a dozen RGB fans. It's a tool, plain and simple, and the spec sheet reads like a wishlist for anyone who lives in Premiere Pro or Blender all day. 128GB of DDR5 and a massive 8TB of NVMe storage mean you're not going to run out of headroom or scratch disk space anytime soon.

The build quality is solid, with a Z890 TUF motherboard and a quiet 240mm AIO keeping that 24-core chip in check. We're a little wary of the 750W Bronze-rated PSU paired with a power-hungry GPU, and the brand's reliability score in our database is frankly rough. But on paper, the core components are exactly what you'd pick for a high-end creator machine right now.

Common Questions

Q: Is the 8TB of storage a single drive or multiple?

It's two separate 4TB Crucial NVMe SSDs, giving you a massive amount of fast storage for both your active projects and a scratch disk.

Q: How loud is the liquid cooling system?

The 240mm AIO is a "Quiet Edition" model, so it's designed to keep fan noise down even when the 24-core CPU is under heavy rendering loads.

Q: Can this workstation handle 8K video editing smoothly?

Absolutely. The combination of the high-core-count CPU, 128GB of RAM, and the RTX 5070 Ti's 16GB of VRAM is built for scrubbing through and rendering 8K timelines without choking.

Who Should Skip This

Skip this if you need a machine that just works with zero tinkering and a solid warranty behind it. The brand's reliability score is one of the worst we've seen, so if you can't afford any downtime, go with a Lenovo Legion or Dell Tower Plus instead. Gamers should also look elsewhere, this CPU and GPU combo is overkill for gaming and you're paying for cores you won't use.

Verdict

This is a purpose-built machine for video editors and 3D artists who need maximum CPU grunt and a ton of fast storage right out of the box. It's not for gamers, and it's not for someone who just wants a reliable family computer. If you're a professional who bills by the hour and needs a rendering workhorse that just gets on with it, the core specs here are fantastic. Just be aware you're betting on a smaller builder, and that PSU is a part you might want to swap out down the line.
