I was wondering if anyone has experience with the Compaq Evo W6000? This is a workstation system that supports dual xeons, i860 chipset, and rdram. There is a guy locally who is selling this computer along with the rest of his video gear (which unfortunetly includes Preimere which will be removed). He has optimized the system to work exclusively as a NLE.

My questions. Normally i dont buy branded computers but this is a good deal to pass up. How stable is the W6000? Are there any quarks that i should be aware of (ie. VRM compatibility, Bios, drivers..)? I was hoping that if i purchased a business class system that i dont have to deal with as many "computer issues" that i have had with consumer Dell, IBM, HP, and COmpaq systems.

I dont know what brand motherboard they use, but it does come equipped w/ the i860 chipset. To be honest i just want a stable system that i dont have to worry about fixing everytime i turn it on. Processor and Ram are really just details to me.
