    with that budget - just build one? you don't even need deals to fit that bill.

  • For that much money I would definitely recommend to source the parts and build it yourself. Will be a rewarding experience.

    • Just don't be like me and buy the parts and snap the pins on the USB 3.0 header immediately :P

  • See if @luketechfast can get you a deal like this https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/499823

    why Intel though? AMD offers much better solution overall and upgradability, also intel chips are faulty,

    According to the researchers who authored the paper in question, every mobile and desktop Intel Core processor since the sixth-generation “Skylake” onward that supports Intel’s Software Guard Extensions (SGX) is vulnerable to the software attack, which injects faults into the processor package by very briefly decreasing the processor voltage. Injecting these faults can introduce errors into otherwise secure code, or reproduce cryptographic keys by what the researchers call negligible computational efforts.

    Meltdown: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meltdown_(security_vulnerability)
    Meltdown is a hardware vulnerability affecting Intel x86 microprocessors, IBM POWER processors,[1] and some ARM-based microprocessors.[2][3][4] It allows a rogue process to read all memory, even when it is not authorized to do so.

    After Meltdown, Spectre, and Foreshadow, we discovered more critical vulnerabilities in modern processors. The ZombieLoad attack allows stealing sensitive data and keys while the computer accesses them.

    https://foreshadowattack.eu/ Foreshadow is a speculative execution attack on Intel processors which allows an attacker to steal sensitive information stored inside personal computers or third party clouds.
