Fast delivery. Super fast out of the box!
Pros: I love the speed and modular design of the case that makes it easy to upgrade. It got a really high score in cinebench. Rendering files in Premiere cc and Lightroom is amazingly fast when you pair this PC to a Raid 0-1 Dual SSD ( be aware that if you dont have a secondary power source, in case of a crash at RAID 0 your SSD may corrupt due to RAID 0) . Even the Quadro 2000 card held up really well with 4k editing and 3d modeling. So far this machines is a beast and for the price it can't be beat!
Cons: - Computer standard SAS drives have a very noticeable clicking sound from the disks moving back and forth to each other in RAID 0 or 1. ( replace them with an SSD and its fine . - Heavy , really heavy so plan to strap this PC in a area safely and buy this computer a uninterrupted power supply outlet. - Long boot times when installing a PCI e card. Fix this by going to the BIOS menu and organizing the boot order. Check with HP Z820 pdf online.
Overall Review: I would highly recommend this PC for content creators, casual gaming, auto-cad applications and Vray. Super fast workstation for and amazing price! :)
