I was considering building a video editing system from scratch, but was put off by the high component prices. Came here to look for an HP "Z" workstation class machine, knowing that they use server class components in them. I wasn't prepared for such a good deal, though, at $440 (purchased in January 2021), and I was skeptical because of the low price. But it's worked out quite well for me so far. I had some technical trouble at the outset after running a Windows update (the system wouldn't recognize the hard drive), but a BIOS reset got me going again. If you are looking for a high performing desktop system with great specs and reliable components, this is definitely the way to go.
