RE: [Avid-L2] HP Work Station recommendations

 

Z800 and Z820 very good value and very powerful.

 

Z820 handy because you get USB3 although you can add a card to the Z800

 

With Z820 lots of nearly new ones around.

The z820 had about a 3 year run, the z800 was similar. The z840 was feb this year. An 820 is still a very powerful machine and a lot of value. Even an 800 will leave a new max pro in the dust.

Ok. So HP Z840s have to have a dual processor to have it AVID qualified.

That's makes a big price difference. Thanks. I'll look at refurbished 820s. 

Are new Z machines dues this November? Do they cycle new ones every year or 2 years.

That system only has 1 processor so you'll need to spend more than that if you want an avid qualified system which requires 2 processors.

Thanks

 

The model I listed was just under 4k, I get government pricing, but will look at z820 refurbished units as well.

Get a refurbished z820 spec'd to Avid's support configurations list. Way more bang for the buck and will handle HD really well. I don't think any of the Avid spec'd z840 models can be had for 4k USD. Oh, and Win7, not 8.1.

I'm moving over for the first time from a Mac Pro to a HP workstation to run MC 8,1- Sym. Option. I'm currently working mostly with HD and very little 2k or 4k footage. Currently looking at the Z840 K7P07UT model. 
RMT Xeon 8C E5-2630 v3 2.4GHz, 256 ssd boot drive, 32 gig ram, Thuderbolt 2, Quadra K4200.

Should I still run on Windows 7  vs.  8.1 ? Other thoughts? Trying to keep the cost around 4k. Thank you in advance. Avid Configuration Guidelines was helpful and might have to go to the E5-2667v3 @ 3.2Ghz.
