HP Z800 Dual Xeon 24GB RAM desktop computer - good for 4k photo and video editing, gaming

Selling my desktop computer which is under my desk at the moment and in use right now... it's a lovely machine which I bought in 2011 and at the time it cost a whopping £7k and it was purchased for my University MSc dissertation project and justified by that.

Specs are roughly:

• Dual Xeon X5560 2.8 GHz CPU (4 cores, 8 threads per CPU)
  
• 24 GB ECC RAM
  
• Windows 10 Pro pre-installed (cannot wipe as this was an MSDN subscription install so I do not have installation media or an active subscription)
  
• 1 x SSD OCZ Vertex3 220GB Capacity
  
• 3 x 1TB HDD (currently in a RAID0 stripe disk configuration, can RAID5 or JBOD them for you)
  
• Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 graphics card (fans stop when not in use, but good for basic gaming)
  
  

The CPUs and RAM are the star, this is a machine that if you have a huge sensor digital camera, or you do video processing... then this machine still beats £2k machines today.

The entire machine can be serviced without tools, and it is easy to keep clean.

It's good for many years yet, it's a solid beast of a machine and even though it's still very powerful it's quiet enough to keep powered on in the front room.

Selling solely because I realise my computing needs have shifted towards a 24/7/365 workstation and this is a bit too power hungry for that scenario... I need something that idles at far lower wattage for what I'm intending... so the sale of this part-funds that.

Price for this is £400 non-negotiable.

It's almost too powerful even now to be a general computer, but will shine if you're working with large memory heavy applications like photo editing, or you want to transcode video and media. It also is great as a gaming machine.

This is the PC only, no monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc... just the PC body and a power cable for it.

It will be available for collection from TW8 (Kew Bridge) on or after Saturday April 28th.

It looks like this:
