I'll admit I couldn't casually afford one of their desktops, but I pledged on crowdsupply to buy one anyway because I so badly wanted the Talos to succeed. While my credit card breathes a sigh of relief, I'm honestly a bit saddened this did not pan out. I really hope the outcome of this campaign isn't the "referendum" on workstations and owner-controlled computing at this calibre that Raptor Engineering suggested it was.
