Having some slow processing problems with massive data sets or intensive operations? Me too, but not any longer.
Last winter my hotrod laptop died. I did not want to spend another $2500 for another one so I started hunting.
"Build my own desktop" was the initial idea, but the "experts" steered me to a more economical path.
These were $10k machines 6 or 8 years ago, but tons are now coming off lease.

Get one configured the way you want, mine has been in service 24/7 for about a month. Like A Rock and Zero Stalls
PS: not pimping this vendor... it was delivered very promptly and my request to Not setup RAID was honored...
they have a huge store, select what you want from stock... you can't build at a competitive price.
I did add a third 2TB HDD and a 240 SSD for OS.
I have had a HP Z600 workstation with a Xeon chip for quite a few years now, excellent (expensive) machine. When this one I have dies I will probably but another or maybe a Dell who seem to have some very reasonably priced workstation available.
