Do you know what this is?
It Looks boring right?
This is what it really is:
Did you know that that mundane looking workstation has a beast lurking within? Yes, thats right, these workstations are built to last, and are built for power. What a lot of people don't know is that these machines can be transformed into powerful gaming rigs with just a few modifications while keeping their elegant and conservative looks. Many of these computers can take a full sized gaming video card, obscene amounts of advanced gaming RAM and lightning quick SSD drives to make for a very capable gaming desktop. Let build a system shall we?
Start with a Dell T7400 which comes with an Intel Xeon dual core CPU, an nVidia quadro video card and about 4GB of server RAM and a common SATA platter drive (parts vary). Now you can easily upgrade these parts listed, and these are the only parts you really need.
Start by getting yourself some Crucial DDR2 ECC RAM, 8GB is more than enough although you can potentially go up to 128GB (expensive and pointless).
Then get your self a good SSD drive, Samsung and Intel make good ones. You don't even need a really large capacity one, you just need something to install windows on and maybe some of your most favorite games, everything else can be stored on a secondary platter drive.
Next you will want to get a quad core Intel Xeon CPU. A beastly 3+GHz CPU should do the trick. If you want to max out the board you can even go dual cpu's for an octo-core monster. Dual CPU's are where workstations really shine.
Now we don't want to forget the most important part of a gaming computer, and that is a gaming video/graphics card. Now because video cards are always getting better you can decide on new generations of video cards from AMD or nVidia and can't really go wrong. The Dell T7400 can take most video cards due to it having a very powerful power supply.
Once you have completed these upgrades, boot up any game and enjoy. Make the ones with flashy cases jealous of this classy beast.
