Product Description

The DC AI Starter – Trevi is your entry point into serious local AI computing — a powerful, balanced workstation built for developers, creators, and AI enthusiasts who want to move beyond cloud limitations and run models locally with real performance.

Inspired by the iconic Trevi Fountain, this system represents the beginning of your AI journey — where ideas are formed, experiments begin, and intelligence is built from the ground up.


⚙️ Built for Real AI Development

At its core is the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, delivering high-performance multi-threaded computing for data processing, coding workflows, and AI model management. Paired with the NVIDIA RTX 5080 16GB, you get fast CUDA-accelerated performance for modern AI workloads including inference, image generation, and local model testing.

This is not a gaming PC repurposed for AI — it is a dedicated AI development workstation designed for real-world use.


🧠 Serious Memory for Serious Work

With 64GB DDR5 high-speed memory, you can comfortably run multiple AI tools, datasets, containers, and development environments at the same time. Whether you're experimenting with models or building applications, this system ensures smooth multitasking without bottlenecks.


🚀 Next-Generation Storage Performance

A 2TB Crucial P510 Gen5 NVMe SSD delivers extreme read speeds up to 10,000MB/s, meaning datasets, models, and applications load almost instantly. From large language models to high-resolution image datasets, everything stays fast, responsive, and ready when you are.


🧊 Engineered for Sustained AI Workloads

AI workloads are continuous, not short bursts — which is why the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 is included to maintain optimal thermals under heavy, prolonged CPU load. Combined with the airflow-focused Fractal Pop Air 2 chassis, this system is designed to stay cool and stable during long training and inference sessions.


🎮 GPU Power for Modern AI

The NVIDIA RTX 5080 16GB provides the GPU acceleration needed for:

  • Local AI model inference
  • Stable Diffusion & image generation
  • Running and testing LLMs
  • CUDA-accelerated development workflows

It’s the ideal entry-level GPU for serious AI exploration, balancing performance and accessibility.


🌐 Modern Connectivity & AI-Ready Software

Equipped with Gigabit Ethernet + WiFi + Bluetooth, you stay fully connected to cloud services, datasets, and remote environments. Pre-installed with Ubuntu, this system is ready for modern AI stacks including Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Docker, and popular ML frameworks out of the box.


🔌 Stable, Efficient Power Delivery

Powered by the Corsair RM1000e (2025) Fully Modular PSU, you get quiet, efficient, and reliable power delivery with headroom for sustained workloads and future upgrades.


🔥 Your AI Journey Starts Here

The DC AI Starter – Trevi is built to take you from learning AI concepts to actively building and running models locally. It removes cloud dependency and gives you full control over your development environment.

Inspired by Trevi Fountain, it represents the starting point of something bigger — where curiosity turns into capability.


🧠 Perfect For

  • AI development & experimentation
  • Running local LLMs (7B–13B models)
  • Stable Diffusion & generative AI tools
  • Learning machine learning workflows
  • Developers building AI-powered applications

💡 Part of the DC AI Fountain Series

Start at Trevi. Build your foundation. Progress through increasingly powerful systems as your AI needs grow — from development to enterprise-scale computing.

FAQ's

Can I customise my PC further?

Yes! We offer customisation options on most PCs. If there’s something you’d like that isn’t listed, just contact us directly and we can usually accommodate most requests.

How long will it take to receive my PC?

We have a standard build time and delivery in the UK of 7-11 Working Days or 3-5 Working Days for express build time. PCs that require more customisation may take longer. You'll receive tracking info as soon as your PC is dispatched.

Will my PC come with Windows installed?

Yes, all our PCs come pre-installed with Windows 11 Pro and fully activated. We also ensure drivers are installed and everything is ready for you to use out of the box.

What is included in my Warranty?

All our Custom PCs by default come with 3 years warranty. This includes parts and labour. You can also upgrade to 5 years warranty. Our warranty includes all hardware issues relating to the machine. If there is any faults, we will attempt to solve this remotely and if needed get the PC collected and back to base for repair.

What isn't included in my Warranty?

Our warranty doesn't include any software issues. When the PC system leaves us, it is fully stress tested on a fresh install of Windows and full working with all relevant drivers installed. Software that is installed on the system after is not under our control. You can purchase support regarding software.

Can I build the PC myself?

Yes of course! If you contact us letting us know which PC you'd like, we can offer a discount removing our time to build the PC. We can then ship out the parts invidiually to you.
