Starting at $5800? For 5800 I can build one hell of a threadripper or epyc system with nvme storage.
I've been seeing people try to make power architecture (ibm) servers a thing for 12+ years now, it never happens, because ordinary developers can't afford them. Compared to what you can put under your desk for a thousand bucks based on any Intel or amd, amd64 architecture system .

Except that it won't have open firmware on a CPU hardly anyone targets. Whatever you build will probably be vulnerable. Unless you're running OpenBSD or something.
