Hello again.

Please back this campaign when it starts:
https://www.crowdsupply.com/raptorcs/talos

This is brand new hardware that will be manufactured, with libreboot
preinstalled.

This is a company that is manufacturing a complete desktop/workstation
solution using the IBM OpenPOWER architecture. Performance-wise this is
equivalent to the latest modern Intel hardware, but with a very
important difference:
IBM releases the boot firmware as free software! This means that it's
possible to integrate support for the hardware into libreboot.

This hardware would also be a candidate for FSF Respects Your Freedom
certification status.

Raptor Engineering (the company behind it) is going to manufacture
motherboards with POWER8 CPUs in them, and high-end graphics*.

They have this page with more information about the project:
