My name is Lars I work as a Resolve colorist for a studio in Stockholm, Sweden. I have been grading professionally for about 4 years now on a Mac, and from what I read I knew I would have much better performance with a PC based system.
I called Mediaworkstations.net and scheduled a consult with Christopher. We went through my workflow – projects, core applications, source footage, storage, network – plus Decklink and dedicated RAID card. We decided the i-XL would be the best fit. He also pointed out to me the i-XL is also approved in the Resolve Configuration Guide, which gave me additional confidence in this choice.
Equipped with 4 GTX 1080Ti cards, 128GB of RAM, 60TB RAID and 24 cores processing, I have a grading machine that can do everything I need to fast. Also, for a large machine it’s fairly quiet, which is a good thing in client sessions. Making the change from Windows is taking some time, but the trade-offs are positive. Thanks so much for your support.

I am finally getting this out for Chris who has been more than patient.
The first thing I’d like to say is mediaworkstations.net is the most helpful company you will find. Well maybe you’ll find a more helpful one but we for looked a good while and could not find someone as knowledgeable about pro media hardware as Chris. We talked to Boxx, HP, Dell, Apple (waste of time) Maingear and a couple other companies before opting for Chris’ consult and then buying 2 i-XLs.
We went with 4 GTX 1080, 2 x E5-2680 Xeon CPUs and 128GB of RAM. Even with the 4 1080s there was still room for our Decklink 4K Extreme and 10GbE cards. It not a quiet machine but it is not loud either and the performance is fantastic. 4K, 5K and even 6K we have worked with them all in real time. We’ll likely upgrade to Titan X or similar in the next generation. We invested in a machine that we’d only need to upgrade the GPUs and drives on over time.
Client sessions are great and having some weekends back – both are good news. Thanks for the great hardware and support.

Fast, Solid, Good Service | Review by George
I’m a visual effects supervisor for a prominent studio. We were looking at the HP Z840 / Z820 Series and Dell 7910 / 7810, but wanted more GPU options onboard than they provided. After comparing prices and specs between Mediaworkstations.net and Boxx, we chose 2 i-XL units because of matching warranty and better price, each with dual E5-2697v3 CPUs for 28 cores, 256GB RAM, Intel P3608 media drives (which are faster than either the HP Z Turbo Drive or Fusion ioFX cards) and 4, 12GB GTX TitanX.
The performance is stellar. Thanks guys for your patience and excellent support.

highly recommended | Review by John
I bought one of these for my research lab at a Boston university. It’s a superb machine – quiet, very fast, and was set up by MediaWorkstations.net to a custom spec just the way I wanted it. Very highly recommended.

From Mac to PC – Crossing to The Other Shore | Review by Alex
It’s hard to find fault with the i-XL. If you’re like me – a (ehem, former) Mac user, you may wonder why there isn’t an a Mac version of this beast. I wondered too for about a year and then said fuck it. My new beast has dual 2697 v3 for 28 cores, 4 x TitanX CPUs for my work in Maya, ZBrush, C4D and now learning Octane this was after a long while a really good choice. For hot swapping and anything else I can think of the i-XL is very accommodating. That’s something you just really can’t do on the new Apple. Everything mediaworkstations offers is made for media people – something I once felt with Apple but just don’t anymore.
Thanks you guys – still not crazy about Win 8.1 but I’m getting over it and my productivity and quality has increased dramatically. Until something new and unexpected comes down the pike from Apple, mediaworkstations is my top choice for workstations. My i-XL is simply designed to handle just about anything you can throw at it.

HUGE | Review by Marin
Got my i-XL 3 weeks ago for my game design work mostly Maya, Octane, ZBrush and Photoshop and AE. My config:
2 x E5-26897W CPUs (20 cores)
128GB RAM
2 x Titan X GPUs
512GB Samsung 850 Pro OS Drive
512GB Samsung SM951 Media Drive
2 x 6TB HDD Storage
Coming from a i7-4930K workstation, its a whole new world. I will likely add a Titan X here soon. Thanks to Chris for really detailed feedback and patience – I first contacted him over 3 months ago.
