Due to RAM and Storage price increases all models prices jumped through the roof comparing with last year, so you are a little bit late. Remember you need VRAM ( or unified RAM like Strix Halo which

DGX is not for anything other than AI, and big models at that. It's a 5070ti speed wise. The 5070ti has 896GB/s memory bandwidth while the DGX Spark and the Minisforum S1 Max have 256GB/s memory bandwidth so it's literally 3.5x slower. You don't buy it for that.
