OK, the machine has been delivered about 1 hour ago now.
The noise level is good. I can hear the fan, but the noise is very subtle. I downloaded a sound level meter on my smartphone. I don't know if it's really reliable, but it can gives an idea. Sound levels recorded : - Ambient, no PC running : 10 db, - my old 2007 Quad running, very quiet : 16 db next to the PC, - the P700 running : 20 db next to the PC, opened case. My purring cat is much more noisy. Edit : The DVD-drive is very quiet, no noise at all, except opening & closing.

Curious what you did about Nvidia, guessing from the post it is working fine for you

Well, I had no choice but to take the Quadro off, since it has two DVI, and I have only VGA or HDMI cables.
So I picked up the GT 710 from the Quad. I really must find my Radeon... Anybody wants a nVidia Quadro NVS 295 ?

Thanks for the info. Generally speaking, are you happy so far with the new machine? At least as far as first impressions go?
I'm in market for a new workstation myself. Every odd month or so I take a look around, but I can't really settle for anything. ![]() |

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 :
Cons :

I will...
For the moment, I only installed Win7, due to the enormous amount of updates and the time needed. Windows is really a pain in the ... for that. But no choice, some peripherals only works with Windows or OS X, like my video capture box. Now, I'm gonna install OpenBSD ![]()

Whoa, OpenBSD 6.3 install was painful.
I encountered several problems, and some of them were unprecedented.
Oh, and I've tried to use my old Radeon HD 5450, but nope, the PC refused to boot with. Ok, that's enough for me today, I'll check all that tomorrow...

I bought the ThinkStation 9 months ago, time for a little feedback...
The P700 is a very good PC, very silent and pleasant. But it has two main troubles :
Annoying, but not crippling troubles. But it sure helps to have a rock solid OS ![]()
