The ASUS ESC1000 G2 is a second generation professional workstation based on the Intel Xeon E5-1600 processor platform, featuring three 5.25” media bays, four hot-swap 3.5” SATA hard drive cages, 80PLUS Gold 1350W power supply, and six PCI Express 3.0 x16 expansion slots. It is designed for professional applications in fluid dynamics, medical research, engineering, the sciences, financial modeling, real-time graphics, rendering, and heavy-duty ray tracing.

Cutting-edge architecture Powered by Intel X79 chipset, the ESC1000 G2 supports top of the class Intel Sandy Bridge-E processors and Intel Xeon E5-1600 processors in LGA 2011 package. With eight DIMM slots and DDR3 1600, it accommodates up to 64GB in memory capacity, providing high computing capabilities. Six PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots enable up to four double-deck GPUs, using new Gen 3 links to provide double the bandwidth of PCI Express 2.0. Fully compatible with NVIDIA Quadro and Tesla GPUs, the ESC1000 G2 is ideal for SOHO workplaces with its ability to handle massive computing tasks. The PCI Express 3.0 lanes are perfect for systems that require high I/O connectivity and bandwidth, with support for more compatible devices.
Dual Intel Ethernet for fast networking Twin Ethernet controllers support doubled network bandwidth, alongside teaming and fault tolerance functions to offer extra-reliable and fast network connections.
ASUS SSD Caching Unique design boosts system performance by using an installed SSD as a cache for frequently accessed data. This allows you to access data easily and quickly without wasting time waiting for data to transfer.
USB 3.0 Boost The ESC1000 G2 detects and optimizes connected device protocols automatically for faster USB speeds in all usage scenarios.
DTS Ultra PC II A brand-new friendly interface brings more functions, including symmetry, audio restoration, and enhancement. DTS symmetry monitors and balances level differences between all digital audio formats, while audio restoration reconstructs percussion and transient sounds from compressed sources to restore lost punch and clarity.
Maximum power supply with DIGI+ for demanding workloads The 1350W 80PLUS Gold power supply unit cuts down system power loss and improves energy efficiency, saving users money on operating costs. The modular cable design enables only use of the cable you need for reduced clutter and improved air flow inside the chassis. With exclusive ASUS DIGI+ Power, the ESC1000 G2 utilizes precise power adjustments on both the processor and memory modules, providing higher system stability.

ivor 5/12/2013 4:05:35 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5ivor Pros: Easy and quick to deploy, more affordable alternative to 2/4u racks Cons: No cons, minus the previous ssd confusion with mounting. Can directly mount on one side only and it's sufficiently secure. Other Thoughts: 3x titan + 1 quadro. So far no hiccups. Running CUDA sims for 3 days steady with no drastic temperature peaks. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
ivor 5/3/2013 5:58:06 PM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 3/5Issues with SSD mounting Pros: Good package of quality parts. Cons: I have yet to find a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter that works with the hotplug HDD tray. A bit of a issue if you want to use SSD, or the SSD cache feature as advertised. Contacted tech support which has no knowledge of this problem. Tried OCZ adapter, Silverstone, and a generic one. All doesn't align the tray properly. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Yogesh 11/23/2012 8:28:53 PM Tech Level: 2/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Nice Workstation Pros: It was easy to configure. It runs cool. Do not have any issue in assembly it. I am yet to test it in all respect. Still now it look fine to me Things you may need to buy a) CPU ( of course) b) GPU card c) Hard Drive d) Physical memory No need to buy any cables Cons: a) It is pretty big and heavy. b) Initially it was difficult to boot the system first time with 24 GB RAM ( 8 GB * 3). I later tried to boot system with 16 GB ( 8 GB * 2) and everything went fine .Later on I added another 8 GB easily into system. Probably I ad encounter the issue since I building system for first time. Other Thoughts: I would try to provide regular update to you. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?
