Features
iXsystems is proud to introduce the first fully qualified PC-BSD® workstation, the iX-Apollo Extreme Series. The iX-Apollo Extreme Series features the latest Intel® Core™ i7 technology utilizing up to 16GB of DDR3 memory, GigE LAN, 3D capable nVidia graphics and a whisper quiet chassis design with a high efficiency power supply.
The iX-Apollo Extreme Series ships with PC-BSD® 7.x Pre-Installed and Pre-Configured. PC-BSD® is a complete desktop operating system with a robust feature set including KDE 4.2.2. It offers the stability and security that only a BSD-based operating system can bring, while at the same time providing a comfortable user experience, allowing you to get the most out of your computing experience. PC-BSD is inherently virus-resistant, so you can spend less time working to block or fix viruses or spyware and immerse yourself in the world of stable, open-source operating systems (Dual-Boot option available)
The IX-Apollo Extreme Series is designed to unleash the power of the all new Intel® Core™ i7 processors with support for up to eight logical cores of raw CPU processing power and triple channel DDR3 memory.
The iX-Apollo Extreme Series is whisper quiet when it comes to system noise. The iX-Apollo Extreme Series is powered by an ultra quiet 500 Watt power supply unit, which is equipped with universal input and active PFC. The power supply is also 80PLUS® certified, making it efficient, eco-friendly, and less expensive to operate. The iX-Apollo Extreme Series is the perfect combination of style, silence and efficiency.
