Apologies for this slight digression into the benefits of 2012-2014 generation Zseries workstations but the final good points about them is that they're built like tanks with top drawer components so they’re less risk than many other second hand purchases. The total cost for my three Zseries

There are plenty of lanes on both the Z620 and Z840 but you need to use a riser to fit the 3rd card. It’s perfectly practical if you don’t mid open cases but is better if you customise an outer case to manage dust and maximise airflow. I picked up my Z workstations for well under £1k each and

I run three Z series workstations each with three GPU's (2 Z620’s and one Z840 as my main rig). The Z840 has three 1080 Ti’s. What’s bad about the Z series workstations with GPU’s? The only things you need to look out for is ensuring you have a strong enough power unit and you pick XEON’s

Agree with Rob. For a comparable budget, you’re far better going with a Z series workstation from HP. Even better get into a lease arrangement where you’re guaranteed the latest hardware for a manageable monthly agreement. I’ll probably pick up a 27” iMac for family use though. I’ve upgraded

It has a bunch of impressive specs, but it's a closed box with a very difficult repair/replace curve. I rather spend that money on a nice HP workstation or alike, with the possibility of changing/adding parts once in a while. Rob \/-\/\/ On 6-6-2017 16:00, Mirko
