I also think selecting parts is limited by the fact that there are so few manufacturers. Processors these days mostly come down to AMD or Intel and nothing there is transparent or audit-able. "trusted computing" and backdoors make even your hardware suspect.
- fiddlerwoaroof 6y agoThere are capable desktop computers with open hardware, down to the silicon: you just have to pay for it. For example, for $4k, you can get this with specs roughly equivalent to a normal developer machine: https://www.raptorcs.com/content/BK1SD1/intro.html https://www.raptorcs.com/content/BK1SD1/intro.html

- mixmastamyk 6y agoNeat, should be on the front page.
- rubin55 6y agoActually, for about 1700 you have the Blackbird BK1B01 mainboard + cpu from Raptor, with 4 cores, 16 threads: https://www.raptorcs.com/content/BK1B01/intro.html https://www.raptorcs.com/content/BK1B01/intro.html I bought two of these last year and they're great, stuff your own memory in there, add some storage and off you go. Edit: clarified that this would be a mainboard + CPU.
