We use the Z200 and Z600 series workstations. Both of them are very similar in design as the Z800 series accept the Z200 doesn't have the nice carrying handle. It's great not having to use tools to open up or swap components.

My only beef with the Z600 series is that the connectors for the drives are mounted on the other side of the casing so you plug the drive into the connector. This is fine if you're using a 3.5" drive but it requires a special adapter to plug-in smaller drives. That adds a significant cost if you want to swap out regular drives for smaller and faster SSD drives.
Please let me know the cost of the unit as configured for your test.
This is hardly innovative; today's enterprise desktops are made deliberately difficult to open, so that the RAM, graphics cards and hard drives will still be there tomorrow/Monday morning...
..by building a hasp into the case so that the IT Dept can add a padlock.

But that does not detract from this case's design; I've worked on several Z800s, and they are very nice to work with.

I have the Z400 and it is as solid as a rock. Great workstation!
