We’re smack dab in the middle of NAB week, which means a steady progression of high-end product launches for things that we can’t really afford but sure wouldn’t mind cluttering up the HQ gadget stash. Like these here workstations from HP, the xw8600 and the xw9400. The former sports up to two Quad-Core Intel Xeon X5482 processors, while the latter runs on Quad-Core AMD Opteron 2300 procs. No word on price for either of these insanely fast configurations, but with the other niceties HP is tossing in, you’re looking at a starting price above four grand.
