Very nice motherboard. I bought it after watching your video. Whilst this motherboard is targeted for Business-to-business, it is possible to acquire by a webshop. I simply looked up the retailers on the ASRock Industrial website, and that retailed mentioned the webshop they partner with. One of them was my favourite webshop that caters to both consumers as well as businesses. So I contacted them. I would have preferred the IMB-X1238 (that supports DDR5 memory instead of DDR4 memory), but when asked, I was told by support that neither was available. For some reason, I was able to order it on the website though. The shipping time was specified as "10+ days", so I expected that it was actually unavailable, but tried anyway. But to my pleasant surprise, it was delivered after about a week. Support did mention that the ASRock M2x4-SATA-4P adapter was available, so I order it separately. They did mention it was only available for purchase as a business. I explicitly acknowledged that (basically rejecting any consumer law rights), and that was sufficient by them, and I received that within a few days. Since the M2x4-SATA-4P adapter requires a special BIOS, I contacted ASRock Industrial support. They even asked what exact features I wished, and made it available within two days. Awesame support.
