I wish I had seen this thread before. Maybe an hour ago. BEFORE I ordered a MoBo bundle for home...

I can vouch for a z220, as I have one as my workstation now top notch device

[DJ-1701]

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]

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.

I ain't no Millennial youngling! I'm 90s yo, word, hip

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!

I always imagined this to be like a really lewd version of the bett group

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]

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

[GeekyPete]

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!

What WOULDNT you do with that beast, I know what we are all thinking... Barbie horse adventure server.

It is, but I needed a point of reference for everyone else

Do you have a small county you need to run? Kent maybe?

Yeah, we have got quite a lot of these and the older Z800s from Pixar. Perfect rendering machines

Or this...

[MrKJLS]

Seems appropriate

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!

They have an onboard SAS/SATA raid controller too so they're ideal for this

Yes and comes with nice photos at times of where / what we are up or having done to our houses etc

[mowgli82]

got my 420Z up and running now....it's beast love it, cheers @ICTDirect_Dave

[ICTDirect_Dave]

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.

I hear he's a reasonable fellow. how about if he gets the 820 and you get a 620?

[Boredguy]

no, no, no... I didn't let him have the Dell we just bought from you either

[ICTDirect_Dave]

We can customize the spec somewhat also so if you want to knock the price down we can definitely look at it for you

And here I was calling you a reasonable chap
