Title: $8,495 For A Hewlett Packard PC?? Post by: elwoodblues1969 on January 21, 2011, 01:50:01 AM Perhaps I am entirely too ignorant to conceptualize the significance of a "workstation" computer,but $8500 for a 320GB hard drive seems a bit high?!! ::)
It seems perfectly feasible to me,to take that $8500 and just invest it in a say-a Korg Kronos,& then take the remainder and buy a consumer grade PC & add your own upgrades for a stable set up. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/746817-REG/HP_Hewlett_Packard_FX464AV_Z800_Workstation_Computer_Avid.html -Thom Title: Re: $8,495 For A Hewlett Packard PC??

Add an audio-specific Linux operating system to Thom's alternate rig (so you could max out on solid software choices), and you'ld have huge performance... and save 5000 dollars.(http://serve.mysmiley.net/cool/cool0037.gif) (http://www.mysmiley.net)...(http://serve.mysmiley.net/animated/anim_64.gif) (http://www.mysmiley.net/free-character-smileys.php) Title: Re: $8,495 For A Hewlett Packard PC??

2 x 6 core CPU and a 4 core graphics card. But 'only' a 320 GB harddisk, strange choice.... k |
