It's not even ECC RAM that's the issue, it's that they're not making DDR ram at all, it's HBM RAM which is totally different. That and the GPUs are custom solutions that slot into specialty liquid cooled server chassis with proprietary connecters and everything. It's simply not for anything except for it's current purpose in a server.

I know how you feel, it's too bad this is impacting Valve. I really want their new controller which won't be hit by this, but I expect they're still going to wait and release it with the other products.
