Falcon Northwest RAK Threadripper Workstation

Selling my Falcon Northwest RAK workstation. This is a powerhouse for composers, sound designers, editors, and post-production workflows. 
Rock-solid stability, quiet, and built to handle giant orchestral templates, multi-DAW setups, large Kontakt/VSL/Spitfire libraries, and long offline renders.

Machine was delivered in March 2024. Light use. Zero issues.
I’m switching some of my rig to portable systems, so this beast is up for grabs. This will be a LOCAL SALE to the NY/NJ/CT/MA area.

Price

Asking is $4,900. It cost $7,800 for the PC to be built. FNW currently starts their RAK builds at $8,400.
