Interestingly enough, just picked up a dual xeon silver HP Z6 for roughly that amount of money, seems like they are rolling off warranty and getting disposed of.

It took me an obscene amount of time to get macos catalina running on it, however. The latest firmware and/or quadro k5000 just make it permahang.

Fabulous twist in the second half. Good luck!

On the off-chance someone gets inspired by this, for the HP Z6 the 2.68 firmware + Radeon Rx580 is the magic combo to make MacOs work via opencore.
