I had not seen the System76 systems before. They don't have distributors, and unlike the major OEMs, they don't take care of the customs details for intentional shipments. Prices for systems built with these older Ampere CPUs have come down at the local SIs as well (those that refuse to consumers), which I had not noticed before. Still the workstation form factor seems to be somewhat unique to System76 (unless, as you said, you build your own). Still I expect the Nvidia systems will be easier to get, especially for (de jure) consumers.
