I wonder how much the smallest, cheapest configuration will cost. I would really love to buy one of these. But I suspect it will cost 100x more than I can afford heh.
- wmf 3y agoEstimates in the previous thread were at least half a million.
- codetrotter 3y agoYeah that’s about 100x more than I can afford exactly. I think I will go back to my little collection of RPi Compute Module machines. And maybe some day in the very distant future I can buy big boy servers lol

Obviously you won’t have the bang of new hardware, but if what you want to do is play around with enterprise-class systems…

Times 32, plus switches etc, plus proprietary development margin, plus lack of volume manufacturing benefits. https://www.siliconmechanics.com/system/rackform-a235.v8.1/21444 https://www.siliconmechanics.com/system/rackform-a235.v8.1/2...
