Hey all - need a little recommendation, and wondering if anyone could help me out. My and my freind recently got a grant to buy ourselfs some equipement, and I'm opting for a brand new workstaion. I came across this one:
It's a Boxx Workstaion 5400 Series:
AMD Opteron Processors
NVIDIA CrushK8-04 Professional
Winbond W83627HF Super I/O
Dual Channel DDR400
. . (6) DIMM Slots Reg ECC
(Four for CPU0 and two for CPU1)
Two x16 PCI Express slot
(One by X16 Bus and One by X4 Bus)
(4) SATA ports
. . (RAID 0, 1 and 0 +1)
(2) Parallel ATA IDE interface
. . (4 devices)
(1) Gigabit Ethernet port
6 Channel Audio
. . Front Panel Microphone + Audio Out
(4) USB Ports:
. . (2) Front, (2) Rear - USB 2.0
(2) IEEE 1394a Ports:
. . (1) Front, (1) Rear
(1) Serial Port
600 Watt Power Supply
Expansion options:
(4) 3.5" hard drive bays
(2) 5.25" drive bays
(2) PCI Express x16 (one x16, one x4 signals)
(4) PCI 32-bit 33MHz
and it's ?1780. Does this sound like a good price for the machine, or does anyone know of a better machine for cheaper? I know that Boxx Workstations are excellent, and run Maya excellently - but just in case there's somehting better?
Thanks
