What about RX minidesk series with zen+/vega gpu, at least they would be cheaper.

Set yourself a reminder on when Vega 64 hits 150W TDP mark using very little performance compromise

Nice machine

IF I was in the market for a mini DT rig, I would seriously consider buying this one, IF only I were allowed to know how much it cost...........

It does... around the 1.1-1.4Ghz mark. (For Vega64 anyway..) So it puts it just a hair above the Fury X anyway.

Vega 64 under much lower clocks and TPD would not come close to a mobile-suited GTX 1080. It is laughably slower.
Vega 64 is in no way a good idea for this type of mini PC.

Love the direction ASRock is taking with their DeskMini line! Would love a 2050/2060 version of this.
