    Pretty cool, but too bad none of the common workstation boards will likely ever be supported. The Dell 5820 is easy to find good deals on in the used market. I've seen several with the 10 core / 20 thread Xeon W-2155 / 128GB RAM / 512GB NVMe / Quadro P1000 / 950W PSU for $400 or less. You can also find some good deals on newer Cascade Lake, but it's less frequent. One interesting thing that many people here wouldn't care about, but Skylaie Xeons get full Windows 11 support, while Skylaie desktop doesn't and you have to move to 8th gen Core parts on the consumer side.
