This is by far the fastest box I have ever had. I do a bit of video work and it renders blazing fast compared to
anything I have seen less than a supercluster. It is like a mini-computer in a PC rack.
It is quiet and solid and has room to spare for extra cards.
It is natively a PCI-X server machine so I had to purchase seperately and PCI express riser replacement
but is was child's play to replace. All modern OS are supported and it has advanced virtualization that I am using
for multiple OS's at the same time in the same box and no slowdowns at all.
It is originally a rack mount unit so you need several feet of depth to have it set on a desk. Under is ideal.
If and When I can ever get a faster machine, this will make a fantastic server for anything you can imagine.
The workstation is built like a tank. Perfect for a workshop computer if you have the space. I'm running Linux Mint on the system and it is plenty fast. No HDD is included, but a used HDD is pretty cheap. the graphics card is decent, but I don't plan on gaming with it. Easy to upgrade if needed - can have 32GB of memory and a second processor added.
