scholes99 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Posted January 23, 2013 We have probably over 100 of these so far, mostly to replace RM Ones, and yes, we have had a couple of problems, but not really anything out of the ordinary. The odd dodgy stick of RAM, 1 faulty power supply, 1 dead motherboard and 1 dead hard drive so far, and all are currently out in heavy use. They aren't hugely noisy, and seem quieter than the old RMs that we have got rid of. The motherboards tend to be Asus or Gigabyte motherboards and the RAM is just generic value ram. Support wise, all seems to be fine, yes you do have to give them some diagnostics, and you do have to pay postage for sending stuff back, but they are willing to let you do things like change the power supply, RAM, Hard drives etc. For most networks, if you have a Windows site license, then for £170 for a base unit, there's not much wrong with that. Yes, the parts are entry level, but you aren't paying 3-400 for the same computer! Another plus for Zoostorm is that they provide you with a keyboard and mouse with it too. On the otherhand, the cases aren't the most robust in the world, and the thumb screws can be a lot easier to get into than most schools would like. After a fair bit of discussion we have also replaced out workhorses to new Zoostorm units too, so if in a couple of months I start moaning then you know that they dont cope well with really heavy use. However under normal use, the oldest machines are now over a year old and still working nice and smoothly. Thank you for sharing your experience with this machines
Scottyboy99 Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 SO you got them to image with the drivers on the CD? Indeed!
