I bought a 48-core rig (Dual socket ASUS Z10PE-D8 WS w/ 2x Xeon E7-8890V4's) w/ a 10TB RAID5 array of 10800 RPM disks, 128GB DDR4 ECC, and a 1TB SSD for $5k... Granted it was from some dude's homelab after he got laid off at Cray but still. When you get up to that dollar amount I feel like there's just much sweeter shit out there. One gripe is the thing is fucking massive and kinda unwieldy stuffed into a Coolermaster Cosmos II case...
