An all-night render now finishes inside two hours
It needs ten centimetres of clearance behind it for cables
The old workstation used to be a decision — start the render or go home — and this one has removed the decision. A job that used to take the whole night is done inside two hours and I have stopped planning my evenings around it. The only thing I would warn about is the depth. It needs about ten centimetres behind it for cables before the panel will even sit flush, and eight months in it still lives further out from the wall than I would like.
Used for: 3–6 months
Every serviceable part is reachable without a screwdriver
Four caddies, all tool-free, and the memory is not hidden under anything. Servicing it is a five minute job rather than an afternoon!
Used for: 6–12 months
Big scenes open whole, no proxies
It draws a lot even when idle
Loads a whole survey set without complaint, which the machine before it could not do at all
Used for: 3–6 months
Specified around memory rather than the card, because our scenes are large rather than complicated, and that turned out to be the right call. Everything opens whole now, no proxies, no splitting a set across two files, no waiting for a cache. The other half of it is that it holds the same pace at hour seven as at hour one, which the machine it replaced never managed past about ninety minutes, though it is not a quiet machine while it does it!
Used for: 3–6 months
Two of us share it across shifts and it has been on more or less continuously since it arrived. Fans have never gone above a steady hum and nothing has ever been throttled.
