Scan 3XS GW-HTX35 Workstation (w/ Quadro M6000) Review

We put the Scan system through our usual suite of workstation benchmarks. For comparison, we pitted it against the Overclockers RENDA PW-E7F and the PC Specialist high-end Xeon workstation from our recent features with a NVIDIA Quadro K5200 fitted, although we haven't run every test on every workstation. Neither system is in the same league both in terms of specification or price, but they will at least provide a comparison.
