This is great. But can I order a pre-built workstation from Dell or HP? Accounting won't cut a PO to NewEgg for parts.

- stagger87 7y agoYes you can.
- vbezhenar 7y agoThere's HP EliteDesk 705 G5, but its specs are not amazing. Ryzen 9 PRO without ECC memory and without workstation GPU.
- jeffbee 7y agoYou can and should. It's crazy to try to integrate your own workstation, for the reasons the article states but then ignores: ECC doesn't actually work on any of the random Ryzen motherboards, and Intel is sending all of their parts to OEMs instead of retailers. An HP Z4 workstation comes with ECC memory, actually boots, and all the other stuff you want from a _work_station.
- muro 7y agoI have a HP Z440 at home - E5-1680v3 (8 cores, 16 hyperthreaded), reasonably fast for everything I do. I replaced the GPU (some random Quadro) with a RTX-2070. Now, 6 months later, I get random beeps on boot (6 beeps = GPU error). I wish I stayed with the workstation as it was. The faster GPU was not worth the trouble. Overall, I am a convert to workstations with ECC. Worth it the peace of mind that I won't corrupt my files and that it won't randomly crash. Had my share of those over years.
