For our Videoguys' Choice DIY9 system we tried to get as close to $2K as possible for our system, but we went over. Read More

The new HP Z1 delivers on this and more. You get you choice of FOUR levels of Quadro cards that can be added, including our go to GPU for professional post, the Quadro4000! Read More
