You do realise that you can get server parts for a custom build? That is what I run for home use, it’s the most reliable machine I have personally owned. And that even those workstations you think are reliable can and do have problems (I have first hand experience of that), like all computers. It’s the response time and contracts that I wanted to problems that I used to look for when buying workstations and that doesn’t always help when it comes to firmware issues. There are plenty of data centres and companies that are running what you call custom builds. Look at Hetzner, backblaze, or even bigger companies that role their own. $100k is a drop in the ocean for experience, that is like a typical week purchasing for some, and wouldn’t even cover the cost of some machines I have used.
