Wow! Kudos for thinking it was possible and making it happen. I was wondering how long it would be before big local models were possible under 10k—pretty impressive. Qwen3-235B can do mundane chat, coding, and agentic tasks pretty well.

I feel like it's going to be a long long time before we get a repeat of something like this. And David did such an incredible job on this. Custom designed frame, designed his own water-block! Wildly great effort here.

We'll see how it goes, but what _is_ happening is ram replacement. Nvidia 5090's with 96GB are somewhat a thing now. $4K. YMMV, caveat emptor. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Newest-RTX-5090-96gb-...
