- magicalhippo 1y agoFrom what I can find here in Norway the CPU would be $3800, mobo around $2000, and one stick of 64 GB 6400 MHz registered ECC runs about $530, so about $6400 for the full 768 GB. Couldn't find any kits for those. So just those components would be just over $12k. That's just from regular consumer shops, and includes 25% VAT. Without the VAT it's about $9800. Problem for consumers is that a just about all the shops that sells such and you might get a deal from would be geared towards companies, and not interested in deal with consumers due to consumer protection laws.
- mlrtime 1y agoThe best deals on these high end servers for consumers is to find a local large server reseller. Meaning a company who buys used datacenter equipment in bulk then resells. It may not always be used equipment or old.
- magicalhippo 1y agoTrue, though at least here that'll be older stuff, and seems almost exclusively Intel parts. I found a used server with 768 GB DDR4 and dual Intel Gold 6248 CPUs for $4200 including 25% VAT. That's a complete 2U server, the CPUs are a bit weak but not too bad all in all.
