For a desktop model: Titan C141 - Intel Core Skylake Series Compact Mini Tower Workstation PC up to 4 cores

Nothing against Titan, but they are more of a system assembler than a true computer company. That's fine for a SOHO or a small to medium business, but larger companies tend to need somebody who can send hundreds of identical boxes at every level, and a level of support for technical questions. Workstations are actually a small part of the expense.

The big money is in servers and SANs, switches, NASes, etc. That's how Cisco became a behemoth having next to nothing under that name (they do own Linksys) in the consumer sphere. That's why IBM spun off their desktop, laptop, and regular server business to Red Chinese Lenovo.

True that, I wasn’t thinking in terms of business.
