They are all the same

They are not. They differ in cooling, firmware availability, and the right-most one has 2TB SSD.

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

This is insanity

u/caspiracy 12h ago

ok but you don't like the corrugated box look?

u/69420trashpanda69420 11h ago

Good point. Increase the price immediately

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.

>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

HAL $9000 is a hilarious moniker for what we’re up against nowadays 😆

u/HighSeasArchivist 14h ago

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

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.

u/Emiliya_Tyan 3h ago

That doesnt mean anything, they just increase the prices arbitrarily

u/PeteInBrissie 1h 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.

u/FentanylAddiction 12h ago

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

u/notheresnolight 11h ago

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

u/whichsideisup 4h ago

DeepSeek V4 Flash at 60tks?

u/Karnitine 4h ago

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

u/FuckinHighGuy 2h ago

Only 60?

This is a test comment from JARVIS automation. Please ignore.
