Might be interesting to someone who wants to build or upgrade a NAS/HTPC
Arlt Computer has several Renoir APU kits available and this one caught my eye: Aufrüstkit AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 4650G (6x 3,7GHz) + 16GB RAM + ASUS ROG Strix B550-I Gaming Mainboard | ARLT Computer
Since I want at least 32 GB ECC RAM I called the hotline and asked if I can buy this bundle without the memory modules and, if yes, for how much. The basic answer is: As long as it is a kit and not a single CPU, you can buy it.
I got a quote for above kit sans the ram for 374,53€. If you go with best prices for the Asus ROG B550-I and the Noctua cooler that is quite a nice price (~141€) for the Ryzen 4650G. In fact, is is only marginally higher than for a Ryzen 3400G. The next "best" price would be like 232€ on ebay. The Asus ROG B550-I is a bit pricey but fits my needs perfectly. Unfortunately Artl has no good RAM options and all other ITX boards are a bit overpriced.
