When you find a good thing, you stick with it. That is
why Gearbox Software, an award-winning developer
of computer games, is now on its fifth generation of HP
Workstations—specifically, the HP xw8600
Workstation, used in combination with HP DreamColor
displays. 
Game developers and artists at Gearbox use HP
Workstations to develop and test such games as
Brothers in Arms: Hell’s HighwayAliens: Colonial
Marines
Borderlands and others. They choose HP for
performance, ease of deployment, reliability and
value.
“The gaming industry pushes the boundaries for
performance,” says Michael Athey, Director of
Information Technology at Gearbox. “We have found
HP Workstations are the best fit for us. Our developers
“As Workstation technology has gotten better, the price/performance has
actually improved. So in some cases, newer technology is actually cheaper
than what we had in the past, and it delivers improved performance.
Leasing through HPFS gives us the flexibility to take advantage of new
technology at the time that’s best for us.”
