Weird take for someone on Ozbargain. I didn't realise you were the arbiter of genuine use cases. ECC is not a use case - nobody wants…

Great deal for the 5090. It's tempting for playing with small AI models, but I'm not enthused by most of the components as none of the…

Says starting from $4039 AUD on NVIDIA's site. The FE RRP of $1999 USD converted to AUD + 15% would still only be $3520 AUD.

32 GB is still pretty limited for AI usage. Then it's a crazy price hike to go to 96 GB VRAM (RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell).

That can work, but adds extra time, cost, & waste. It's annoying that the cheapest option isn't a solid panel with no RGB anything. I've…
