HP ZGX Fury vs MSI DGX Station: Does the Cheaper Quotation Tell the Whole Story?

No. The lower quotation can easily be the one that includes less hardware, so the cheaper price on its own doesn't settle it. The HP ZGX Fury G1n configurations on SourceIT's listing come with a factory NVIDIA RTX PRO display card (RTX PRO 2000 or RTX PRO 4000 SFF), 8 TB or 12 TB of HP Z Turbo Drive NVMe, rack rails and a stated 3-year onsite warranty. The MSI XpertStation WS300 listing ships with a 2 TB RAID 1 boot pair. A display GPU, extra drives, transceivers or direct-attach cables, and the warranty term are all quoted separately or confirmed at quotation. Both are price on request. To compare them fairly, price the same finished system: the same display option, the same usable storage, the same cabling and the same support term.

What is in each base configuration?

Source: SourceIT listings for the HP ZGX Fury G1n and MSI XpertStation WS300, 4 Nov 2026. Add-on prices quoted below are SourceIT's listed prices for separately sold items on 4 Nov 2026. We have not tested either system ourselves.

How big can the gap between quotations look?

Large, before you adjust for what each one includes. Neither HP nor MSI publishes a Singapore price, and SourceIT quotes both on request. Public pricing elsewhere shows the spread. One German retailer, buyzero.de, listed the MSI WS300 at €113,500 and the HP ZGX Fury at €158,500 when checked on 4 Nov 2026. Those are different configurations, so the figures show how wide the gap can look, not a like-for-like difference. Across OEMs, US pricing for most DGX Station GB300 systems runs from about US$93,000 to US$125,000 (Supermicro direct, Exxact and ServeTheHome's reporting). At USD/SGD 1.2802 (3 Nov 2026) that is about S$119,000 to S$160,000 before GST, so "around S$150,000, depending on OEM and configuration" is a fair ballpark. Dell's US list price for a heavily configured unit is higher still.

A quotation is a list of what you are buying. Compare the lists before you compare the totals.

What does it take to match the HP configuration on an MSI quote?

Work through it line by line. These are the items a matched MSI quote usually needs, with SourceIT's listed prices where the item is stocked on its own:

• Display GPU: HP's E6ZS0PT ships with an RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell. Sold separately, the NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell is S$3,039.60 (listed 4 Nov 2026). Matching E6ZS5PT means the RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF at S$5,640.00, S$2,600.40 more. If nobody will sit at the machine, skip the card and compare against HP's headless build instead. Our post Why Does a S$150,000 DGX Station Need Another Graphics Card? explains when a display card is worth it.
• Storage: HP's E6ZS0PT has about 2 TB of mirrored OS space plus 4 TB of striped data space (6 TB usable of 8 TB raw). The MSI base gives 2 TB of mirrored boot space and two empty Gen6 slots. Matching HP means adding two 2 TB-class M.2 2280 drives. SourceIT's stocked M.2 enterprise drives top out at the Micron 7450 PRO 960GB (S$2,178.00), so ask us to quote larger drives with the system. See A S$150,000 AI Workstation With Just a Few Terabytes of SSD Storage? for how much space you need.
• Encryption: if your policy requires self-encrypting drives, HP offers a factory headless SED build. On an MSI quote, specify SED drives explicitly.
• Rack rails: HP includes them. The WS300 is a tower only, so if the system will move to a rack later, factor in a shelf.
• Warranty: HP's term is on the listing. Make sure MSI's quoted term covers the same years, onsite response and parts, including the liquid-cooling module. See Who Will Pick Up the Phone When Something Breaks?

Some items cost the same on both quotes, so don't let them skew the comparison. Both need QSFP112 cables or optics to link a second system; the HP ZGX 0.4m QSFP112 DAC is S$365.00, and NVIDIA's two-system recipe uses two cables (S$730.00). Both need a suitable power circuit and, for long runs, a UPS such as the APC Smart-UPS SRT 3000VA (S$4,165.00). And NVIDIA AI Enterprise is a separate subscription on both.

Does the included display card change performance?

It can. The DGX Station has a fixed 1,600 W power budget shared between the GB300 and any add-in card. NVIDIA's documentation says the GB300 keeps the full 1,600 W cap only when no RTX card is fitted or the card draws 75 W or less. A 76–300 W card lowers the GB300 cap to 1,250 W, and a card above 300 W, such as the RTX PRO 6000, lowers it to 950 W. Check the board power of whichever card a quote includes. A "free" high-power display card can cost AI throughput. Two DGX Stations, Same 748GB Memory covers this in more depth.

What else belongs in the total?

The costs outside the box often decide which quote is cheaper over three years:

1. Site preparation: a dedicated circuit (HP specifies 200–240 V with a C20 inlet; MSI states a 20 A circuit), cooling and space. Our office installation checklist lists what to check.
2. Support beyond year three: ask both vendors for extension pricing up front.
3. People: someone has to run the system. See who manages it and the hidden costs of owning an AI workstation.
4. Deployment tooling: HP includes HP Z Runtime and HP Z Toolkit; MSI relies on NVIDIA's tools. If your team would need consulting time to stand up a serving stack on the MSI, count it. Same GB300, Different Software Experience compares the two.

So which quotation should you accept?

Normalise first, then compare. If the MSI quote still comes out lower once it includes the same display option, usable storage, encryption and a written support term matching HP's, the MSI is the better-value hardware. If the gap closes, HP's published warranty, rack rails and software tools may be worth the difference. Either way, ask us to quote both on the same line items. That is the only quotation comparison that tells the whole story.

Frequently asked questions

Why might an MSI DGX Station quote be lower than an HP one? Partly because the base configurations differ. SourceIT's HP ZGX Fury listings include an RTX PRO display card, 8 TB or 12 TB of NVMe and rack rails. The MSI WS300 listing ships with a 2 TB RAID 1 boot pair and quotes the display GPU and extra drives separately.

How much does a DGX Station cost in Singapore? SourceIT quotes the GB300 stations on request. Public US pricing of about US$93,000 to US$125,000 for most OEMs works out to roughly S$119,000 to S$160,000 before GST at 1.2802, so around S$150,000 depending on OEM and configuration is a reasonable ballpark.

What does an RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell cost on its own? S$3,039.60 on SourceIT's 4 Nov 2026 listing. The RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF is S$5,640.00.

Are cables for linking two systems included? No, on either system. QSFP112 cables or optics are quoted separately. NVIDIA's two-system setup uses two 400G-capable cables.

Is the HP headless configuration cheaper? SourceIT quotes it on request. It drops the display GPU and uses four 2 TB self-encrypting drives, so it is the closer like-for-like match to an MSI system bought without a display card.
