These things are awesome.
My dream is:
Framework Desktop contains an ITX board with a Strix Halo. It's not cheap though, unless you compare it to an equivalent Mac Mini.
Eh, yeah, and it’s backordered.
Ideally I’d like a full x16 slot too (or at least electrical x8), but perhaps that’s asking too much.
Also, is it even standard ITX?
No!
I have a framework, and it's fine (upgradability is nice), but the desktop has fixed dram (guessing they're mated to the cpu for more bandwidth) but no thank you
My favorite thing about these is that even though minipc's with them are around $2000 now, someday they'll be cheap and the Switch 2 is coming out and will probably be a ~10 year platform. Someday it'll be a solid choice as a cheap entry into PC gaming
The Framework one starts at ~$1100 but I'd argue it's still a bad value, aside from being unrepairable and unupgradeable.
