(2) [Framework Desktop Mainboard Max+ 395 128GB @ Framework](https://frame.work/products/framework-desktop-mainboard-amd-ryzen-ai-max-300-series?ref=krumpin.jbhobby.com) $3,149 (\~$3,464) — still in stock, at tracked low; mainboard only. (3) [GMKtec EVO-X2 128GB+1TB @ GMKtec](https://www.gmktec.com/products/amd-ryzen%E2%84%A2-ai-max-395-evo-x2-ai-mini-pc?ref=krumpin.jbhobby.com) $3,499.99 (\~$3,850) — at tracked low, available. - **Stock flip:** Framework Desktop DIY Max+ 395 128GB OOS → in stock ($3,449). Mainboard ($3,149) in stock for a second day. - **Scrape gaps today:** B&H and Micro Center pages were blocked by bot protection, so their prices and stock are left blank today (not carried forward). That covers the DGX Spark OEMs at B&H, B&H Mac Studio, and Micro Center 5090s and the AI Box. - **Amazon DGX Spark tracker flip-flop:** $8,999.99 → $3,999.99 (third-party tracker). Amazon's page still flags "High price" with no DGX buy-box price, and the only $3,999.99 on that page belongs to a different product in a carousel. Not a buy. - **RTX 5090:** Amazon ASUS TUF OC $7,350 → $7,100 (only 1 left, 3P). Newegg floor flat at $6,999.99\. Best Buy ROG Astral $8,044.99 (stock unverified). Newegg Skytech 5090 prebuilt $7,299.99 → $7,599.99\. eBay sample median ask $6,899 → $6,749. - **AI Box deal watch: YES on today's available comps.** BuyDirectNY AORUS AI Box $5,499 (available) vs best same-day discrete 5090 street $6,999.99 (Newegg) → about 21% below the card, well under the \~10% line ($7,699.99). The usual Micro Center vs Micro Center comparison isn't available today. Against the last Micro Center card read ($4,499.99, OOS) it would be +22% (NO). Observational only; TB5 << PCIe x16. - **Flat:** GMKtec EVO-X2 $3,499.99 / $3,649.99; Amazon EVO-X2 $3,649.99 in stock; Minisforum MS-S1 Max $3,799; Beelink GTR9 Pro $4,349; Apple Mac Studio Max $2,499 / Max 128GB $5,399 / Ultra $5,499 / Ultra 256GB $9,499 / Ultra 80c 256GB $10,799\. New source: ASUS eShop GX10 2TB $6,999 (OOS). - **Local resale (cash, observational):** Craigslist + OfferUp scanned; FB Marketplace / Nextdoor need login (skipped).
