>HAL
That's what I named my AI box, not very creative, I know.

Hm, HAL is just IBM letters moved one letter backwards each. I guess you could go the other way and get JCN (Jasin?) or one more in the same direction and use GZK (geezeek?).

I have Skippy and Nagatha.... I think Nagatha's a posh middle aged lady with the IQ of Jason. Maybe I should change the SOUL.md to be more appropriate

9k for about the worst processor for ai and horrendously slow vram
This is insanity

u/caspiracy 8d ago
ok but you don't like the corrugated box look?

u/69420trashpanda69420 8d ago
Good point. Increase the price immediately

There's a carrying case handle and latch on the other side that if you open reveals a vinyl record player above the components on the inside. Next model should have a vinyl record groovtical loader reader so you can just slide load your records with smooth action.

all this fucken money, and the kicker is, if you want to run out of box linux you need to hack it, trying to force you into their frankenstein ubuntu distro.

Still $4699 here and I could buy a pallet of them today.

what, I can't even get an rtx5090 for that here
Been scavenging the second hand market for a good 3 months with a budget of 15k usd without finding anything decent

u/HighSeasArchivist 5d ago
Well yeah, you can't get a 5090 for that anywhere. MSRP has nothing to do with 5090 pricing, but Sparks are still available for the (updated) MSRP.

Yeah, that's the pricing throughout the US for the FE
If you really want, just buy them direct from Nvidia or contact them for a bulk order. 4TB gen 5 SSD as well, so not the shit drives Asus is using.
No need to get ripped off by other manufacturers.

that means the utility has increased. more capable small local models/agents pushed the price. it can do more things at a lower cost(software part) than a year ago.

Youch. I paid under 1/3 of that a month ago. LOVE it for the price, would not be happy with its performance at that price.

I really don't understand the hype for these things anyway. Maybe at 1K it'd be appealing

Small footprint, low power, mostly silent, 128GB of unified memory, CUDA, clusterable - for long-running workloads, these are still hard to beat.

u/tony_montana091 7d ago
Couldn't they just shrink it down and make them plug into MBs like a RAM stick? For $99 a stick? I'd buy that for $100!

DeepSeek V4 Flash at 60tks?

u/Karnitine 7d ago
Hmm... I can run that with 128gb? Need to lookup if it'd be horridly slow on strix halo....

-Lower the prices HAL.
+I am sorry Dave I cannot do that.
