Music production can get
pricey, and producers need to save money anywhere they can. Good news is you
don't need to sacrifice performance for a great price with a great machine like
this Entry-Level Music Production PC from PCSP.
This computer is a refurbished HP Z420 workstation
optimized with hardware best suited for creating music. Choose from either an
Intel E5-1620 processor (3.6 Ghz and 4 cores) or go with more cores (which
helps with running multiple processes) with an E5-2690 v2 (3.0 Ghz and 10 cores).
With a processor this powerful and reliable, this PC is a beast for your home
studio. Your DAW, plug-ins, and sample-based instruments demand a lot of
resources, so we went ahead and stocked it up with a generous 32GB of DDR3 RAM.
When it comes to storage space, this machine comes
with a 512GB Solid State Drive to keep your operating system, program files,
and sample files. We also recommend you keep your working project files on the
SSD so they can be pulled lightning quick. This unit also comes with 2TB of HDD
storage space for all your finished projects and other files.
This unit will come installed with a fresh version
of Windows 10 Pro, and also a Bluetooth/Wi-fi Adapter dongle. However, there
will be no monitor, keyboard, mouse, or cables included other than the power
cord.

I was looking for something that wouldn't get bogged down as I use many plug ins in my sound production, often for a national podcast This guy here filled the bill! I got the 10 core version and couldn't be happier. Makes me wonder why I didn't chose a workstation to begin with. The price I paid made it an easy decision to give it a go. The machine was very clean when i got it and packed very, very well...form fitted in the box. Delivery was faster than expected. I am planning on buying another machine from these guys for my associate producer, who will be using it for all multi media tasks. I am very happy with my purchase. Well done PCSP! Well done!
