This is the final Intel NUC (Extreme), but the family will live on in the ROG NUC.

You're gonna pay $500 for essentially a case and mini itx motherboard? Why would you buy this if you're going to replace the CPU and PSU?

This thing is made by ASUS.. so don't expect the RMA reputation Intel normally has if something goes wrong.
Personally i do not trust ASUS for after purchase service.

PSU is the part where I got lost here. 1000W is required for the 5000 series now?

What's the quality of the motherboard in this system? Is it a $200 board?

for a 5090, yea.

ain't no way you should keep a 750w PSU for a 5090. cutting it way too close.

I did some research, and it looks like there's a way to upgrade, but it's not easy? Something has to do with cables and convert the voltage. I'm sure that someone or something will have a solution. I'm not looking for an upgrade very soon. Big Grin looking for parts and someday my PC will come alive.

If you need extraordinary amounts of RAM or storage, no. A Mac with the equivalent of whatever the max RAM and storage this thing accepts is probably $10,000 vs maybe $1000 total to max this out. Otherwise, yes.
You're correct about this being about $1000 with maxed out RAM. It has two slots so it can use a maximum of 128 GB ($300 on Amazon). A Mac with 128 GB of RAM would be the Mac Studio for $3500, which is a lot more than this but far from $10,000. For $10,000 ($9,500) you get a Mac Studio with 512 GB of RAM, which is well beyond what's possible with this NUC. If someone really needs that much RAM, there are no other options in something as small as a Mac Studio.
An Intel NUC and a Mac Studio are different machines for different uses.
As for this deal, it's great for this computer.

Ms-01 doesn't have power or cooling to support an internal gpu. Plus it's only pcie 3.0 x8 electrically (x16 half height half length physically)Plus the minisforum driver support isnt as good as intel But the ms-01 is a cool productAlso just adding this here somebody on Reddit reports being able to run 2x48gb ram to get 96gb in the intel nuc (also supported by ms-01)

The Extreme models have been socketed since 12th gen.
