There the NVIDIA Jetson TK1 and TX1. An excellent desktop platform IMHO. When the TK1 came out, you could get one free by telling them what you planned to do with it.
Unfortunately they tripled the price from the TK1 ($200) to the TX1 ($600). You can get a TK1 on ebay for ~$150.
This thing is much faster than the million dollar supercomputer I used in college ;)
- fit2rule 10y agoThis thing looks pretty nice, but the catch of course, is that you need all the expansion boards as well, so the costs go way up. Plus, there's the whole availability thing .. I'd love to hear from someone who has one and can tell us what its like as a machine. I'm in the camp of those who would like to have a smart Linux workstation with modern peripherals and not be x86, just for the kicks of it .. so actually, the TX1 seems like it might be a pretty viable investment.
- jfb 10y agoI have a TK1; it's perfectly usable as a desktop machine. I don't use it because I don't like Ubuntu and the project I was using it for has finished, but plug a SSD into it and it works a treat.
- fit2rule 10y agoWould you consider selling it, then?
- intrasight 10y agoSorry for the delay. Yes, I'll sell it.
- jfb 10y agoOh, sorry, missed this. Sure. Send me an email to the listed address if you're still interested.
- intrasight 10y agoI also have the TK1 and find that it works fine. I added an SSD drive to mine. The Puget Systems acrylic enclosure has an SSD mount.
