Specified for large point-cloud work and it does the job it was bought for without drama. Scenes that used to be split into four pieces now open whole, and the difference that makes to a working day is hard to overstate. The one gripe is the drive that came in it. A terabyte on a machine with this much memory is an odd pairing — a single scan set can be a fifth of it — so the first job was adding storage before it could earn its keep. The bays are there and the caddies are tool-free, so it was twenty minutes rather than an afternoon!
Used for: 1–3 months
Room inside for everything we wanted to add
The side panel is heavy enough to want two hands
Two 4K screens, three drives and a capture card all went in and it did not blink. The bays and slots are laid out by somebody who has actually used one!
Used for: More than a year
Runs flat out all day without a wobble
Idle power draw is not trivial
A year of ten-hour days and it has not thrown a single error
Used for: 6–12 months
An overnight render comes back in under two hours
The certified driver our application needs was not the one it shipped with
Three stars is a compromise between what it does and what it took to get there. On raw throughput it is exactly what was promised: a scene that took the old box most of a night comes back in under two hours, every time, and it holds that pace for as long as you keep feeding it. Against that, our application's certified driver list did not include what shipped in it, and the version that is certified had to be hunted down and pinned in place before anything would run reliably. Two of us lost the better part of a week to that. A machine sold on certification ought to arrive certified.
Used for: 6–12 months
The memory capacity is genuinely what was advertised
It throttles inside an hour in a warm room
Bought for sustained work and it will not do sustained work in our room. Above twenty-five degrees ambient it drops clocks within the hour, every time, and no fan profile has fixed it.
Used for: 3–6 months
It needs floor space and the filter needs monthly attention
Five stars for the machine and a warning about where it lives. It is a big, heavy, deep box and the cable side needs real clearance, so if you were planning to slide it into a desk cubby, measure twice. Ours had to go on the floor in the end, where the front filter now collects studio dust at a remarkable rate and wants doing every month.
