- wmf 5y agoI think you forgot to check the actual majors Dell, HP/Omen, and Lenovo/Legion but maybe they're just as bad.

- eganist 5y agoAlienware = dell for the top end stuff like 3090s. And to that end: https://i.imgur.com/oXgofp7.png https://i.imgur.com/oXgofp7.png
- bm1362 5y agoI just went this route to build a ML workstation. I was able to get a prebuilt with a 3090 for ~30% of a comparable build on https://lambdalabs.com/ https://lambdalabs.com/. Now I just need to wait until next year to get the second 3090. I considered waiting for the new A4000s to launch to see if they'd have better inventory but figured 3090s have additional value as a gaming gpu. I'd be curious how professional ML folks are fairing and what they're using -- it's not too late to cancel my build.
- tryonenow 5y agoAWS GPU compute is pretty cheap if you don't need their newest beefiest rigs.
- bm1362 5y agoI've prototype on a collab notebook and have been using AWS GPUs for training. Having to jump through hoops for quota and the general anxiety in trying to optimize the costs led me to just build a machine with a 1-time upfront cost. As a sole proprietor, I can write off the capex against future revenue anyways and depreciate it.
- thebruce87m 5y agoJust got this delivered yesterday: https://www.novatech.co.uk/savedbuild/ccf0fcec-685d-4f4b-8be2-8c0c5e796870 https://www.novatech.co.uk/savedbuild/ccf0fcec-685d-4f4b-8be... New to ML but looks similar enough to some of the builds on your site that I’m slightly less scared that I made the wrong choice!
- bm1362 5y agoDope, 7 days is a pretty nice turnaround. I went with a 'custom' prebuilt so I could plan for adding additional cards once they're well supplied. You might run into trouble with the PSU, case clearance and mobo throughput if you plan on adding another 3-slot 3090 - those are all sub-1k though so you can always swap once you need to!
- rckoepke 5y agoAlienware's published lead time should be taken with a large grain of salt. My 3090RTX / Ryzen 5600X build just shipped 12 days after I ordered it, a full 3 weeks faster than the estimate I was given at the time that I ordered it.
- dijit 5y agoWe just bought 20 Dell Prevision workstations with 3080’s in them and they were delivered fine with no question about availability for more. (In Sweden)
- rasz 5y agoSure, but now you are stuck with un-upgradeable FCLGA3647 systems.
