I've been looking around now for a few weeks, but the market is so
confusing.
Money is not much of an object; well, let's say 5k GBP max.

Should I get one purpose-built? Or a new year bargain?

My gut feeling says 16GB RAM (DDR7); 500GB SSD with 2TB spinner; good
video card; i7 quad-core CPU.

Who knows better?

This MSI Aegis Ti3 caught my eye;

But then I found this; cheaper, but good enough, and with customer reviews;

These products definitely state "who you are"
and that "you've arrived".

There are slightly more understated designs, like
this one with "less of the red lighting". This
one has a ThreadRipper, and an awesomely high price
when the box has only the "basics" in it! Lord knows
what the price would be if it was properly configured.

The top ThreadRipper itself is only $950 USD.
