Or a BC-250. Same chip, just with fewer cores. Performs about the same as a ryzen 2600 + rx 6600 pc.

Sweet! They looked like server boards when I searched so I'm happy that exists

Right, they are originally mining cards, but there is a community turning them into living room PCs with 3d printed cases. It is very much a DIY project, but there are also premade kits available.

Is this it?

How much is it? I can't find a purchase link.

These are repurposed mining "cards". You can get them on the used market. I got mine from ebay, but aliexpress has them too.
