alt Hacker NewsIf you want a workstation, you are probably better off building it yourself, or having your local computer store do it. The primary exceptions are AMD strix halos or the nvidia dgx spark.
I haven’t seen a non-laughable workstation config from the big vendors since the dot com bubble. Presumably they exist, I guess?

Yes they exist, and business aren't building PCs from parts themselves.

Just because you're cheap and don't value your time, doesn't mean they don't exist.

They get features that us plebs buying retail don't get, at prices the vast majority of us wouldn't pay if it were our own cash.

I've been pretty darn happy with the Puget Systems custom workstation I ordered last year before the memory craze started (especially since it has 192GiB of DDR5).
I also ordered another family member a custom "Tiki" system from Falcon Northwest and that has also been quite excellent from what I've seen and they've told me.
Now is obviously not the most economical time to order a new system, but when it is appropriate (and for what it's worth) I think those are two great system builders.
