It become a bit better if you throw in some more hardware at order page. 
At ~$1800 it becomes a beefy machine. I guess I get a better offer from 
other brands, but without a vendor support for coreboot. I still can't 
get over my old PC, where UEFI code did 'ping home' on each boot (with 
ethernet/DCHP attached), and offered an option to post to the twitter 
every time PC booting. (ASRock if you want to known the name).
