Really.

Jesus no

I hope you're joking, cause it definitly isn't a good workstation.
It's one of the worst systems I've seen in a long time. Spend the most of your money on hardware that improves performance, like CPU, RAM, GPU, storage and not on things like cases and CPU coolers.

Yes, really nice choice of components, especially that 500 bucks case which will decrease your render times

I've seen these on a computer store. How can you not accept 3 fans where you can control 2 different configurations??!

Dude, i can't understand what you are trying to say and by the way this is considered to be shitposting

Yeah, because your friend is going to spend over $20k on a workstation.

I'm not gonna build that or my friend or a penguin living in the North Pole (what), it was just to see the responses and see what a good workstation looks like.

'Good' depends on your budget.

I don't mind the budget, remember, this was just to see what a average workstation looks like.

Unless you survey every business on the planet I don't think finding 'the average workstation' is possible.

 

Most prebuilt workstations that companies/individuals would buy aren't the optimal configs like the custom builds posted here might be.

 

The 'average' workstation of those I've encountered generally have a low end Xeon, a dodgy power supply, an older nVidia Quadro card (e.g. 4000), and 16GB of RAM, with HDD space usually not above 1TB.
