While many will say this or that are faster or it won't be supported much longer, or whatever else, I'm pretty happy to have gotten a new in box 16 core, 2TB, 96GB, 580x build for $2100. I swear the internet anyway is not aware of any other NOS new ones for sale. I have another one that is in more or less maxed out build that was also new but it was from about 18 months ago.

I have a 6800x to put in it, 384 ram, and may use it mostly for my printing and archive with a pegasus r4i using 22TB drives and a couple in the upper bays using the Sonnet R3i where an ssd will also be my ongoing OS/apps "t2" ssd backup using an OWC enterprise grade sata ssd.

Will probably also have any "working" space be on an nvme blade using the OWC 1M2 which is pcie 4
