A Strix Halo with similar RAM is considerably cheaper. Still not cheap, mind, but performance is OK (not great) and it will run more or less the same models.
At least for me, it's been pretty great, but I bought my system when it was $1800, now looks like the same system is $2700 and out of stock. I still haven't quite been able to run 120B parameter models under Windows, but for Qwen Coder 30B, it works pretty darn well for my at home needs.
