The Dell Precision 3620 Tower XCTO BASE Workstation is a compact yet professionally capable workstation built for engineers, designers, and creators who need a dependable machine for CAD, 3D modeling, simulation and content creation. This model offers a “Build-to-Order” type base configuration that allows you to customise key components (CPU, memory, storage, GPU) from the start, giving you flexibility to tailor the machine to your workflow today — and upgrade easily down the road.
Under the hood, the 3620 Tower supports 6th and 7th generation Intel® Core™ i7/i5 processors or Intel® Xeon® E3-1200 v5 family CPUs, supported by the Intel® C236 chipset, making it suited for enterprise-class performance. It supports up to 64 GB of DDR4 memory across four DIMM slots. Storage flexibility includes M.2 NVMe options and multiple 2.5″/3.5″ drive bays. The tower design keeps a modest footprint (approximately 36 cm tall for the MT version) while still offering full-sized PCI Express x16 slots for professional graphics. With ISV certification for key applications, tool-less access for upgrades, and future-ready expansion capability, this workstation delivers solid value for professional workflows.
Whether you’re refurbishing a design suite, setting up a rendering node or equipping a power user’s desk, the 3620 Tower XCTO BASE provides a configurable platform built with workstation reliability and upgrade path in mind.
