Aww yes. Put together and everything works like a charm.

HP Z620 Workstation
Intel Xeon E5-2670 8 Core 2.6GHz
32GB RAM (8x4GB)
256GB HP Turbo Z Drive PCIe SSD
1TB 7200RPM
500GB 7200RPM
320GB 7200RPM
2xDVD burners (otherwise I would have a hole in the 2nd 5.25 bay)
AMD R9 380 4GB graphics
800W PSU (this machine could also go dual-processors but I don’t really need that)

Here’s the AMD FirePro V5900 2GB card that it came with... upgraded that.

A little over $1100, the hard drives + optical drives I already had. Also helps I got the RAM for free

I was gonna say those are pretty hard to kill and I bet it’s worth some coin.

“2xDVD burners (otherwise I would have a hole in the 2nd 5.25 bay)“

What about a litle trip down memory lane just for shits and giggles?

I’m thinking of building a second system just to get my games and my video editing on separate PCs. Buying one of these used looks very tempting. Where’d you get yours?

Man, one day I need to replace my AMD 4150 Black with an Intel i5 or something.

It’s a great chip, but it makes my room incredibly hot when I’m gaming. That maybe probably due to the 5.0GHz boost clock I have on it, but that just keeps it from bottlenecking my over clocked 970.
