Davit2005 Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Feeling slightly guilty now... HP Z620 Xeon E5-2670 8 Core 2.6GHz 32GB RAM 1 x 512GB SSD 2 x 1TB HDD AMD FirePro W600 graphics (6 x mini-DP) AMD Radeon HD7450 4 x Samsung B1740 1280x1024 LCD displays 2 x Samsung SC23C650 1080x1920 (Vertical) displays 1 x AOC I2360P 1920x1080 display I should very well think so to Windows 7 IBM Think Station i5-6600T @ 2.70 GHz 16GB Ram 256GB SSD 2 X Widescreen 22" , the only matching monitors in the office and I even feel guilty about that.
Sephiroth Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) I should very well think so to To be fair, the PC was reasonably priced thanks to @ICTDirect_Dave and one of his marvelous sales and none of the monitors I have were actually bought for me; The 4 4:3 screens were from classrooms, the 2 widescreen Samsungs were from old front office machines and the AOC was bought as a test for the music department (which they never followed through on anyway). I may have spent a lot of money on the graphics card though... Edited March 29, 2019 by Sephiroth 2
southhamster Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 Yet another ict-direct Dell 9020 I5 6gb 250gb add. Ancient Samsung 19" monitor because I prefer 4:3 ratio 1
Weeble Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 well it has 4Gb RAM & struggles on a regular basis ...
supportman Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) I have an Intel Extreme 8th Gen NUC. Works very well, fits on the back of my monitor, very fast, 4K and has all the ports I need. EDIT: I've added 10gbit Ethernet with one of these via the thunderbolt port https://www.qnap.com/en-uk/product/qna-tb-10gbe Edited March 29, 2019 by supportman
CHiLL Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 After spending 5 years on a Dell XPS with decent specs at the time (3rd Gen i7/8GB RAM) - it kept crashing frequently. We managed to wangle a deal with our bursar to let us purchase the components separately and build the machine ourselves to save cash (it was the only way we could get new machines!). Now we're rocking: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X RAM: 16GB Corsair DDR4 Motherboard: Gigabyte B450M DS3H-CF SSD: Samsung 970 EVO M.2 NVMe 250GB HDD: WD 1TB Went down the AMD route as in general workloads, it out-performs it's more expensive Intel counterparts.
LeMarchand Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 Thanks to @ICTDirect_Dave and his Xmas compo, I'm rocking Though I stuck in the VTX AMD Radeon HD 7770 Xedition I had in another machine as I wanted to keep my 3 (small, 4:3) monitors. My machines at my other 2 sites are detailed in the terrifying/heartbreaking tale in that thread with a GFX card swap.
