I really wanted to build an AI PC but just kept being busy and kept telling myself that since prices always drop that I'm just wasting my money by doing it.

Boy am I upset lately.

    You can still buy the Framework Strix Halo board (with 128GB RAM) for $2k. For now.

    I have a 3090, yet I’m still seriously considering it. The CPU itself is an engineering marvel, not to speak of the ridiculously fast RAM and IGP.

    Only caveat is you better be a Python/Linux person. As you will be building forks and beating your head against the screen to get the setup working right.
