Has anybody at any point bought a BOXX PC?

I'm searching for another PC. I'd go up to around $5,000 for one. I went over BOXX and they appear to be generally excellent frameworks. Obviously I am utilizing Vegas yet in addition the Adobe Creative Suite alongside Wirecast and OBS for live streaming, Or in the event that you have some other ideas. Much obliged to you

I've not heard of BOXX before probably because being a US company it seems to be focused on the US market rather than the international market like Dell and HP do with their workstations. Nonetheless, I am impressed that BOXX offer workstations individually designed for the main programme that's going to be run on it: e.g. Vegas Post as well as a number of other NLEs. Very smart and a great marketing approach - kudos to BOXX for that.

The great thing about workstations - including Dell and HP - is that their cases usually have heaps of cradles for additional HDDs, sometimes hot-swappable mounts in the front of the case. And I see that the BOXX unit recommended for Vegas caters for up to 2 x M.2 SSDs each up to 2TB.

The downside with workstations is that they are quite expensive in comparison to high-end PCs with similar specs but perhaps without the top-of-the-range components often found in workstations. Whether that makes any difference, I regret to say that I don't know.

Boxx has been around a long time. I remember when they first got their start. There is also Puget Systems that does the same thing.

I would consider what other software I will be using and how they work with the computer I would consider buying.
