I understand but come on, look at that RAM price. If I can find a 20x better deal with 10 seconds on Newegg, presumably Apple can get those components for like 100x less than they're selling them for.
Also $400 for some nice rolly wheels, or $700 if you decide to buy them separately: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MX572ZM/A/apple-mac-pro-wheels-kit?afid=p239%7C221109&cid=aos-us-aff-ir-221109 https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MX572ZM/A/apple-mac-pro-w...
- kube-system 4y agoI don't even see any 1.5TB 12x128gb DDR4 ECC kits on Newegg. The biggest one I see is this, which is only 50% cheaper than Apple's price per stick. Not 20x. Not even 2x. https://www.newegg.com/nemix-ram-512gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/1X5-003Z-01AN4 https://www.newegg.com/nemix-ram-512gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/... And if you go with a brand name kit, Apple's price is pretty close to Newegg. That's not to say any of this matters. Apple sells a completed product, not a box of parts. If you want a box of parts, you're in the wrong place.
- burkaman 4y agoYou're right I got confused, it looks like closer to a 2x markup. You don't have to buy it all as one kit though, right? Just get 6 of these for $10,500: https://www.newegg.com/nemix-ram-256gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/2SJ-000N-00491 https://www.newegg.com/nemix-ram-256gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/...
- kube-system 4y agoOf course, Apple doesn't use Nemix sticks either. Does Nemix get the same binned chips that SK Hynix uses in their namesake brand? The cheapest name brand is this, $19,000+ for 1.5TB: https://www.newegg.com/hynix-256gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/1X5-0040-001T5 https://www.newegg.com/hynix-256gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/1X5-...
