i also indulge crowdfunded projects, and partially for the reasons you state.
it appears that xue hopes to ship essentially a street rod version of the classic T60/61 (incl case, display, etc) for about USD 1,500, to which one would add 64G of ram and the M.2 NVMe SSDs. i could not sort whether the cpu was included; would it not be waved on? i keep eyeing the framework, but both $dayjobs are mac houses. my research racks are all deb/ubu except for a few old fbsd large zfs backup systems. randy, who bought a bunnie novena to bootstrap cryptech
