Synopsis

Since there is no powerful generic machine at the space, I was tempted to score a old workstation with a lot of horsepower that we can use as generic machine. I am buying the machine before the end of June. Small edit: we got a slightly newer machine, socket 1366 rather than the planned 771 machine.

The system will have a Linux-Windows dual boot and is general purpose.

Specs

  • Model: Dell Precision T7500
  • Processor: Intel Xeon X5660 6core 2.8Ghz (boost up to 3.2 on one core) Hyperthreading
  • Chipset: Intel 5520
  • Memory: Memory support: Triple channel DDR3 ECC Unbuffered or Registered
  • Memory Installed: DDR3 ECC 12GB
  • Harddisk: 2TB
  • Optical: DVD DVD
  • Network: Integrated Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Ethernet
  • USB: 8x (2 front, 6 back)
  • Aditional GPU: NVIDIA GTX 550 TI
  • Softeware 1: Windows 7 Pro 64bit (like, a legit version dude)
  • Software 2: Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 64bit


Donations

€75,-

Though i am getting the machine regardless, donations are always welcome! The cost for the workstation is 333 euro.

Additionally i am putting a extra 320GB HDD and a Nvidia GTX 550 TI from myself in the machine to beef it up.
