Indeed, it makes mini computers with soldered ram actually end up being quite cheap by comparison. HP will currently sell you 128GB AMD or Nvidia boxes for 1.7-2.8k depending on your flavor of choice. Not ECC though.

The strix halo mini workstation is 128gb of ecc. Good machine. Source

Necro reply - I don't think they actually shipped it with ECC... If you lookup a Z1 mina G1a repair video:

It has 8 chips, not 10. It needs 10 from true ECC.

I’d be really curious to see - that would possibly sell me on one! Linux should also report edac being up in dmesg if it has ecc.

...till supplies last. Which won't be long when people do exactly that (hey, that mini PC is now cheaper than building similar setup)
