Processing computer.

Anyone looking for a monster processing rig?

I've upgraded (Thanks to my employer for my office tech budget!), so this rig is now available.

If you're running PixInsight, this rig will FAR outperform anything you could build for even remotely close to this price, not to mention, there won't be a laptop out there that can hold a candle to this for even 5x the price.

The specs.
-Hp Z-640 Workstation. (Overall - new condition.. not a mark on it anywhere)
-Dual Xeon E5-2680 v4's (14c/28t each, total of 28 cores, 56 threads)
-64GB DDR4 2400MHz ECC memory.
-512GB SATA SSD with Windows 10 pre-installed (Not activated)
-8GB Nvidia GTX1070 GPU - supports CUDA acceleration for AI tasks like Russ Cromans tools, Graxpert and Starnett++
-PCI-E M.2 card (no M.2 card supplied).

In my configuration, I had windows installed on the 512GB SATA SSD, and a 4tb Samsung 980 pro M.2 nvme disk in 2 partitions, 512GB for my current active project, and 3.5TB for storing recent data/results, as well as a 10tb Seagate Ironwolf HDD for local storage of all my data over the years etc...

The machine performed incredibly well, and to be honest, I probably didn't need an upgrade, but the boss told me to use some of my home office tech budget this year, so I built a new computer that, while it is a fantastic computer for my work - will also be an absolute monster PixInsight machine.

I'd be happy to let this go for $600, $500 without the GPU if AI tools aren't your thing.

The machine is quite bulky/heavy, so shipping it anywhere is going to be difficult, if not prohibitively expensive. So pickup is North side of Brisbane.
