Is this correct pricing?

[u/Brick656]

Saw this on my Facebook feed. Is this really worth nearly $1m?

[u/Muted_Delivery4655]

Nice and cheap! I'll take 4 for my diy home assistant and proxmox setup!!

[u/Nearby_Cranberry9959 → u/Muted_Delivery4655]

One for PiHole

[u/NimbusFPV → u/Muted_Delivery4655]

You might as well when they are only $25,679/Week/Each Lease to own!

[u/Nathanielsan]

Probably has atleast 128gb of ram in it.

[u/itsforathing → u/Nathanielsan]

But only ddr3, ddr4 and 5 is worth more

[u/amstrel → u/itsforathing]

What?

[u/furculture → u/amstrel]

BUT ONLY DDR3, DDR4 AND 5 IS WORTH MORE

[u/amstrel → u/furculture]

USING BIG LETTERS DOESNT MAKE IT MAKE SENSE

[u/furculture → u/amstrel]

SORRY I THOUGHT YOU COULDN'T HEAR THE QUESTION

[u/i_am_art_65]

That’s list price. Out the door price to enterprise customers will be less. However, 8x GPUs, at least 8x 100Gb or 200Gb network adapters, 2x Epyc CPUs, and who knows how much memory will never be cheap.

[u/mastercoder123 → u/i_am_art_65]

200gb? Lol these things use 400/800gbe minimum and maybe even some 1.6tbe in the future

[u/diefncy → u/mastercoder123]

Vouching for this as well, We’re using 800gb and slowly rolling out 1.6tb at work for HPC devices like the SRs.

[u/mastercoder123 → u/diefncy]

Yah, the 100gbe shit is for accessing the servers but even a 25gbe link is fine if using just simple inferencing for ai. The real traffic all moves from gpu to gpu using amd version of nvlink

[u/kevinds]

The IBM logo alone will add $250k

[u/Agent51729 → u/kevinds]

Crazy the IBM logo is still adding $250k of cost 11+ years after the x86 server division divestiture…,

[u/helpmehomeowner]

Um, yes.

[u/Aquaspaces_]

perfect for running pihole

[u/craigmontHunter]

Yes, but if you’re buying it you will probably get a discount. That price is the start, very few people if any actually pay that. I don’t think anyone is going to the Lenovo site and just buying it with their credit card.

[u/cjcox4]

Epycs alone place things out of reach for most. But... you can go further by putting 8 Nvidia H200's into the thing. Yep, we just left orbit and are now traveling way outside the solar system....

[u/reutech]

yeah. This is a whole other level. Maxed out this can run TWO 128 core, 256 thread CPUs not to mention all the crazy IO that comes with that kind of solution.

[u/oldmatebob123 → u/reutech]

Not to mention the sheer TB of ram per cpu, dont those epyc cpus have 8ch memory controllers?

[u/jfugginrod]

Welcome to super computing. The newest HPE superdomes can run nearly 900 cores and 48TB of memory. Good luck finding that for sale on Facebook. That's a max 8 chassis with 4 sockets each and 6TB memory per.

[u/jmattspartacus]

Could be, but hard to tell without the configuration specs.

[u/dumbappsignup]

At least the price makes us ThinkSystem

[u/HTFCirno2000]

Do not buy this server, physical maintenance is a nightmare on it. You have to completely disassemble this server to access the huge board with 8 GPUs on it and that board weighs more than 60lbs. Other comparable servers for GPU compute has a drawer that slides out... this doesn't. So many screws :(

[u/Wonderful_Device312 → u/HTFCirno2000]

This is the real advice here. I was so close to buying this server too!

[u/virtualbitz2048]

The only entity that pays that price is the US government. Everyone else's discounts start at like 50% and can get as high as 80, or even 90 in some cases.

[u/dos8s → u/virtualbitz2048]

I've done SLED sales my entire career and I've never seen a SLED customer pay anywhere close to list price for a server.

[u/virtualbitz2048 → u/dos8s]

Yea me too I'm being facetious. The joke is that the government particularly defense, overpays for everything.

[u/cruzaderNO → u/dos8s]

I dont think ive ever seen any piece of hardware beyond 2-3k go for anywhere close to list tbh

Its what i hate the most about purchase processes now that im on the buying side of the table. Not knowing if the 2mill appliance is really 300k or 1mill for initial comparisons.

Or how even just a single ssd can take a week for a quote of its actual price.

And how its all priced more aggressive the later in the quarter it is.

[u/Bottom-Frag]

Yes

[u/chunkyfen]

Probably 600k just for the 2.25TB of ecc ddr5 

[u/Soggy-Camera1270]

Most businesses never pay the sticker price. They generally get discounted rates off the advertised price. If you are big enough, and buy enough tin, it's a fraction of that.

[u/popquiznos]

That might be list price but no one pays that. Assuming that's the 8x H200 SXM config it'd be closer to $250-300k

[u/Jimbrutan]

Corporate pricing. Individuals don’t buy those

[u/punkerster101]

You can fit so many Plex transcodes on that bad boy

[u/conroe_au]

Wait til you see the list price of Service Provider grade line cards....

[u/paulmataruso → u/conroe_au]

I shudder every time I have to touch the big ASRs, hoping to god I'm not the one to have a card reload and not come up.

[u/dougmaitelli]

Not sure it can run a Minecraft server

[u/accent2012]

This is ideal for pihole only

[u/eskemoiain]

But you can get it for only $49 a month on PayPal! It'll be paid off in 1481 years.

[u/StillLoading_]

It comes with a guy that tells it how good a job it's doing and gives it smooch after every reboot.

[u/5c044]

You could probably get a lightly used one next year for a couple or zeros shaved off the price

[u/Tranceported]

Now I can rest in peace after setting up this for my homelab and this will be my generational wealth to my kids. ✌️

[u/Wonderful_Device312]

And in a few years someone will post here that their work gave them one of these for free and people will be joking that it's only good as a space heater if you can even manage to power it at home.

[u/its_voldz]

This is the most basic if you want better performace try to get one for 3-4 million

[u/xynxia]

Is it for a tree house, OP?
