HP Z230 Workstation Xeon E3-1240 v3 16GB 480GB SSD Quadro K600 CAD PC No OS Wty

HP Z230 Workstation — Xeon + Quadro CAD Tower (No OS)

Certified refurbished and backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty, this HP Z230 Tower Workstation pairs a quad-core Intel Xeon E3-1240 v3 with 16GB of memory, a fast 480GB SSD and a dedicated NVIDIA Quadro K600 professional graphics card. ISV-certified and built for always-on workloads, it ships without an operating system — ready for you to install your preferred setup.

Key Benefits

• Workstation-class Xeon: The quad-core Xeon E3-1240 v3 (4 cores / 8 threads, 8MB cache, up to 3.8GHz) delivers reliable performance for CAD, engineering and business applications.
• Dedicated professional graphics: An NVIDIA Quadro K600 drives professional 2D and entry-level 3D workloads with multi-monitor output via DisplayPort and DVI.
• Fast SSD storage: A 480GB SSD delivers quick boot and load times, with up to six drive bays for easy storage expansion.
• Built for always-on: Engineered for heavy 24/7 workloads with ISV certifications and an efficient, reliable power supply.
• 16GB of memory: Ample RAM for multi-app workflows on an ECC-capable workstation platform, with room to expand.
• Your OS, your way: Supplied with no operating system, so you can deploy your own image, licence or preferred platform.

Performance in Use

The Z230 is a genuine entry workstation rather than a repurposed office desktop. The Xeon E3-1240 v3 offers the same Haswell architecture as a Core i7-4770 but with workstation reliability and ECC memory support, giving it dependable multi-threaded grunt for CAD drafting, engineering tools, accounting and database work, and heavy multitasking.

The dedicated NVIDIA Quadro K600 is the key difference from a standard PC. With certified professional drivers, it handles 2D CAD and entry-level 3D modelling smoothly and supports dual displays — ideal for AutoCAD-style drafting, GIS, and design review. It is well suited to light and mid-range professional graphics work rather than heavy modern 3D rendering or GPU compute.

Because it ships without an operating system, it's a natural fit for businesses imaging their own fleet, technicians building to a customer spec, or anyone holding a licence for their preferred platform. Six drive bays and expansion slots mean you can add storage, memory or a newer graphics card as your needs grow.
