Indeed, it makes mini computers with soldered ram actually end up being quite cheap by comparison. HP will currently sell you 128GB AMD or Nvidia boxes for 1.7-2.8k depending on your flavor of choice. Not ECC though.

The strix halo mini workstation is 128gb of ecc. Good machine. Source https://h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/GetPDF.aspx/c09086887

Necro reply - I don't think they actually shipped it with ECC... If you lookup a Z1 mina G1a repair video: https://youtu.be/1i_PfH05ekw?si=MpQ0Uc9QVwhgsFzi&t=267 It has 8 chips, not 10. It needs 10 from true ECC.

I should check this next time I take it apart, thanks for the heads up :)

I’d be really curious to see - that would possibly sell me on one! Linux should also report edac being up in dmesg if it has ecc.

...till supplies last. Which won't be long when people do exactly that (hey, that mini PC is now cheaper than building similar setup)

Indeed…
