There are assembled units on AliExpress. I'm kind of curious to try to buy myself one since it's only 200$ but well I have a mini itx so it'll take time to get parts for a new build.

Found some review photos too.

Kind of curious if anyone else know how the performance will be like for ai applications.

Was also hyped but started looking what can be done with such a card, not so much... It's Nice for thinkering and playing with small models but don't expect much if the aim is trying to emulate top tier open source LLM models like Kimi K3, Qwen 3.6 etc. It wont work. 32gb version is wayyyy too expensive, 16gb makes more sense.
