Price and speed of Raptor Engineering's open Talos II desktop computer

["Kingsley G. Morse Jr." <kingsley@loaner.com>]

I'm happy to report the price and speed of Raptor
Engineering's new open Talos II desktop computer[1].

It uses a CPU from IBM.

It seems to be 

    1.) more open than Intel,
    
    2.) twice as expensive[2,3],
        
    3.) and have competitive performance[4].

So,
Kingsley
