An open secret of the server hardware market: public prices mean nothing and you can get big discounts, even at low volume. But of course the config I talked about is maxed-out and would probably be more expensive than 20k. It would be interesting to compare the TCO with an equivalent config, and I wouldn't be surprised to see the server hardware still win.
