999 $ for only 32 GB RAM is way too expensive. GEEKOM, give us barebone and without OS. The AI age is here and we need at least 64 GB RAM to be able to host e.g. Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507-UD-Q8_K_XL.gguf (huggingface.co/unsloth/Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507-GGUF) or 96 GB RAM to 128 GB RAM for Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507-BF16-00001-of-00002.gguf and GLM-4.5-Air-Q5_K_M-00001-of-00002.gguf (huggingface.co/unsloth/GLM-4.5-Air-GGUF) (128GB RAM for a better quant).

GEEKOM says that the HDMI 2.1 FRL is FRL 24G, single channel 6 GT/s. See common resolutions: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Refresh_frequency_limits_for_common_resolutions.
