Ask HN: Recommendation for desktop workstations

1 pointsFourSigma8y ago1 comments

I am looking for something that has a high core count (> 8) and large amounts of ECC RAM (32GB+). Around the $4k-7k price range. Is it better to just build one?

OEMs charge insane amounts for RAM. If you buy you can save a lot by ordering a separate RAM upgrade.
