Check out the Talos II, the first owner-controllable workstation in quite a while. https://raptorcs.com/

Hasn’t this been in preorder for years?

Talos II was announced this year. They did have an earlier project (Talos I) which did not reach funding goals due to how expensive it was. Talos II is a smaller scale system (with a bigger CPU) probably made in the hopes that it'll be more palatable in terms of price and usability.

What do you mean by that?

not even a price yet.

There’s pricing when you click preorder. It’s like $6500.

It's $4000 for the desktop system and $4700 for the workstation.

I'm not really sure where you got the $6500 figure.

Ordered alone, the motherboard+CPU is about $2300.
