Used for: 1–3 months
Comes apart on catches and rails, no tools at all
It is a very deep chassis and wants a proper desk
Opens with two catches and everything inside is on a rail or a caddy. I have built machines for twenty years and this is the first one that felt designed for the person who opens it!
Used for: More than a year
A year of ten-hour days without a single throttle
It has done a year of ten-hour days doing finite element work and has not once dropped its clocks, which is the whole reason to buy at this level rather than a fast desktop. Memory capacity means the largest models we have go in whole, and the noise even at full load stays under the studio's own ventilation!
Used for: 3–6 months
No thermal drop-off over a long session
Runs at full tilt all afternoon and stays exactly where it started, though it is not quiet doing it
Used for: More than a year
Bought bare and put our own build on it, which is the only sensible way to run one of these in a studio where every machine has to match. A year on it has been faultless under load, but I will say the front intake pulls dust like nothing else we own and the filter needs doing far more often than the manual suggests.
