rich_tech Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 I can vouch for a z220, as I have one as my workstation now top notch device
DJ-1701 Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 you what now? * feels old * I don't know what she's on about and I think I'm younger than her! I totes thought us Millennials had this data built in.
Joanne Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 I started using that language ironically and now it's part of my daily vocab. Which is unfortunate, because I am definitely old enough to know better.

john Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 There you are. Satisfied @john? Yes suitably moist now
ICTDirect_Dave Posted March 15, 2016 Author Posted March 15, 2016 Yes suitably moist now I wonder if the other mods keep a store of posts of yours that have had to be removed because of filth/excess innuendo? 2
Dos_Box Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) I wonder if the other mods keep a store of posts of yours that have had to be removed because of filth/excess innuendo? I'll show you the mods Whatsapp group. It's a bit like a rough staffroom! Edited March 15, 2016 by Dos_Box 2
ICTDirect_Dave Posted March 15, 2016 Author Posted March 15, 2016 I'll show you the mods Whatsapp group. It's a bit like a rough staffroom! I always imagined this to be like a really lewd version of the bett group
mthomas08 Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Z820 Tower - £2,350 2 x Intel Xeon E5-2690 2.9GHz Octa Core - Benchmark 128GB PC3-10600R ECC RAM New 128GB Origin Storage SATA III 6.0G SSD 3 x 1TB SATA HDD nVidia Quadro K4000 3GB GDDR5 (DVI, 2 x DisplayPort) DVDRW Windows 7 Professional COA All units come with Keyboard, Mouse & 2 Year Warranty. Obviously some of these are a little over the top but it's nice to show off what a machine can do sometimes I just felt like falling out of my chair, if I had coffee in my mouth I'd spit it out. What would you do with this beast??
Boredguy Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 I know @DJ-1701 would like me to get him one for his workstation so he doesn't have to worry about running out of Ram for his test VM's Otherwise as use it as a powerful rig for graphical work or video editing 1
GeekyPete Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 The price on the Z220 Can't be right can it? What am I missing? Refurbished! That's what I was missing... With that said, still a cracking deal! 1
DalekSec Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 I just felt like falling out of my chair, if I had coffee in my mouth I'd spit it out. What would you do with this beast?? What WOULDNT you do with that beast, I know what we are all thinking... Barbie horse adventure server. 3

ICTDirect_Dave Posted March 15, 2016 Author Posted March 15, 2016 I just felt like falling out of my chair, if I had coffee in my mouth I'd spit it out. What would you do with this beast?? Do you have a small county you need to run? Kent maybe? I know @DJ-1701 would like me to get him one for his workstation so he doesn't have to worry about running out of Ram for his test VM's Otherwise as use it as a powerful rig for graphical work or video editing Yeah, we have got quite a lot of these and the older Z800s from Pixar. Perfect rendering machines What WOULDNT you do with that beast, I know what we are all thinking... Barbie horse adventure server. Or this...
PotNoodleTech Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Just thought I'd mention that these Z800/Z820 also make fantastic little Virtualisation hosts what with 4 x HDD bays, Dual CPU, lots of RAM and more importantly no drivers / fiddling about required for VMware ESX or Windows 2012 R2. Slap that O/S CD into the DVDRW drive and get serving! 1

Slap that O/S CD into the DVDRW drive and get serving! They have an onboard SAS/SATA raid controller too so they're ideal for this

ICTDirect_Dave Posted April 14, 2016 Author Posted April 14, 2016 We're completely out of Z220s now, and down to just one or two Z420s. Still got a few of the bigger 620/820 however if anybody is tempted?

Tempted, it's a great deal, but some how I don't think my line manager will allow me too... something about budget. 1
ICTDirect_Dave Posted April 14, 2016 Author Posted April 14, 2016 Tempted, it's a great deal, but some how I don't think my line manager will allow me too... something about budget. I hear he's a reasonable fellow. how about if he gets the 820 and you get a 620? 1
