I bought my system in February 2021 for $3400 Canadian dollars (plus tax). It had the 12-core Threadripper Pro 3945WX (the low-end option), and 32 GBytes of ECC RAM (two DIMMs), plus a NVIDIA P620 GPU (which I replaced with other GPUs), and a 1TB HDD. I added six more DIMMs (bought second-hand on ebay, for about $100 per DIMM, be careful to get the right kind!) to get 128 GBytes in eight channels, as well as additional SSDs and HDDs. The prices of everything may be different now. An A4000 GPU can now be obtained for about $1400 Canadian dollars, but mine were more expensive when I bought them before the crypto crash. An A4500 GPU has better cooling (and is a bit more powerful), but takes two slots and costs more.
How much did that setup cost? I’m curious about similar use cases.
