![]() Harm, far reaching conclusions based on a single example - that's just not like you. ![]() Why do you think licences for Adobe products are so expensive? To justify the huge costs of their HP systems they demonstrate on every road-show. So the conclusion must be that HP is at least twice as expensive as my own build. ![]() I have space for 31 3.5"disks, the HP not even a quarter of that. But my system has 15 hot-swappable bays for 3.5" disks and 4 hot-swappable bays for 2.5" drives and a multicard reader included, all missing from the Z820. Same amount of memory, same SSD's, same BD-R's, similar Gold+ PSU, only HP has a Quadro 4000 and I have a GTX 680/4G and the HP has a simple E5-2643 and I have an i7-3930K. With a single E5-2643 CPU, and a nVidia Quadro 4000, and for the rest very comparable to my own build as it currently stands, the Z820 is only € 7530 versus my costs at € 4125 (but you can easily deduct € 550 from that last amount to make the chassis comparable, so € 3575). If your name is Bill Gates or you can charge it to the company account, a HP Z820 is nice. This also sounds like you'd have to be absolute bonkers to recommend a Z820 Most folk just do not get it, and that is where this forum becomes very handy indeed. Finally, I found one fellow, who built specialized systems for medical imaging, and he knew ALL of my Adobe programs. They just did not know what I needed, and would tout how many servers they just delivered to Honeywell, or how many desktops they built for AIG. were horribly off-base, and in some cases detrimental to using my Adobe programs. I interviewed several shops, and not one had a clue what I was talking about. Some years ago, I spent some time looking for a custom builder, who was local to me. That is why one will see recommendations for companies, like ADK, who understand the programs, and what it takes to build for those programs. They have a set menu, with but a few choices. Few have a clue what Photoshop, PrPro, or After Effects even requires. They sell and build for 99.0% of the computer users out there. It can be similar, when a high-end graphics user looks to a standardized computer supplier.
