HP z200 workstation rear.jpg
HP z200 workstation.jpgBought this today, a 2010 HP Z200 workstation, it has a Xeon X3450 CPU, 4 GB RAM and includes 3 caddy's for HD's. There is a GPU in there but no idea what until it arrives. I was short a machine as a friend needed a PC to replace a dead Toshiba ivybridge i3 all-in-one system(dreadful thing, all laptop parts!) so she has my AMD A6 3670K machine now to replace it. She's well happy as the old A6 is much faster than the Toshiba was.
This should do me fine, it was dirt cheap(less than £50 inc delivery from a seller I trust), and I very much like these HP workstations from this time frame, I still use a HP Proliant ML115 G5 with a AMD Opteron 1354 as my daily driver and that was from 2008.
Bit of a bargain I reckon and might be even better than I hope depending on the graphics card it has installed.
The z200 arrived the next day, working perfectly and in very nice condition. All I've done so far is install a 250GB Seagate Barracuda 7200MPM HD and Linux Mint 20. The GPU is Nvidia Quadro 2000, good match for the machine I feel. Anyway I've been using the system all week and I'm really please with the old beast. It's very, very quiet, responsive and a pleasure to use. 😀 Makes a great companion to my Opteron HP ML115-G5 and Custom Phenom II/Lian-Li/HD5870 build as daily drivers. Cracking computer for the price, and in fact just a cracking computer!
