I kept this monster HP z840 workstation for over six months (sorry HP, I couldn't let it go)! It is amazing, to say the least. I really love the nearly-silent cooling system - maybe not quite as silent as the MacPro, but with so many more components and expandability options, it's very quiet.
Inside the machine there are seven PCIe slots: (3-PCIe x16 Gen3, 2-PCIe x8 Gen3, 1-PCIe x4 Gen3, and 1-PCIe x4 Gen2) allowing for some sweet HP Z Turbo Drive G2. It's an option that allows for an SSD drive conne
SPECS
The HP z840 workstation is a beautiful and top of the line (yet very heavy, almost 65lbs. when fully configured) workstation that builds on HP's longstanding dedication to the media professional. Right off the bat, I want to clear the air: workstations are expensive! There is no way around that (PC or Mac). It's just not going to happen. A few reason why systems are this high of a price is the time commitment that is needed to test multiple hardware and software components to guarantee your workstation will work the way you expect, for the most part. HP works with software companies such as Adobe and Avid to make sure their workstations work as perfectly as possible with industry leading software like After Effects CC 2014 and Media Composer. HP labels them "ISVs" or Independent Software Vendors.
