Yep, it's a good beast, I definitively appreciate it.
It's a real high-end PC, not a gamer high-end PC, but a professionnal high-end PC, designed to be robust and easily maintained, you can feel it.
A quick look inside shows no cables everywhere, or stuff like that, everything is compartmentalized.
Pros :
- its silence,
- its speed, my old (Quad+HDD) is no match for (dualXeon+SSD),
- the FLEX system : a lot of parts can be removed/upgraded in a tool-less process, I think only the CPUs heat sinks need a screwdriver,
- enough USB ports on a machine, 4 front, 8 back,
- 8 HDD (or SSD) bays,
- Surprise ! I've heard the workstation : installed VLC, opened a movie to test, but wasn't expecting to have sound. It has an internal speaker.
Cons :
- Was delivered with Windows 10. Never used it. Was suspicious. Tried it. 2 hours later, boom, gone !
- A cooling baffle is missing.
