I've worked with many Precision workstation and I think they are very
reliable hardware. Even with very poor maintenance (lot of dust
everywhere) I've been surprised to see them continue to work.
They are also expensive and very energy costly.

I am using a Precision T5500 (purchased 04/2010), and is a very stable
machine.

Hi Randy,
I don't know about their other computers or how things are now
regarding DELL, but their Precision line of workstations use to be
built like tanks and were really reliable. I had an old model
(2006) Precision with Dual Xeons at home and that thing never led
me down, it lasted a good six years and only ceased to function
properly because I use to live close to the beach and electronics
aren't very fond of sea breeze.
So by my experience with them I would say that they are great boxes.
And I've also seen people hackintosh them without much trouble.
Cheers,
Diogo

I can get a pretty crazy discount on Dell Workstations.
Enough that it seems cheaper to buy a Dell then to build a
box. IF I get dual Xeon it has 4 full speed x16 pci-3 3.0
slots which is nice for the color grading I do Maxwell, and
the crazy RAM amount is good for Nuke when I work from home.
Any way
Has anyone used these boxes? Are they reliable enough for a
home workstation? I wouldn't think about dell for anything
but their ultra sharps but I still get an employee discount
from one of my previous employers which is pretty substantial.
Then I would think 2 -3 gamer cards for Nvidia probably for
openCL and Cuda.
and I am pretty sure it can be a hackintosh as well as Windows
and Linux.
Any thoughts?
thanks to anyone who has opinion.
