>I didn't read all their math but I expect their final result to be off by a factor of 2-5x.
I looked at their parts list and it's obvious they aren't serious. CPU is missing, memory is missing, SAS to SATA cables, but no SAS controller, no mounting for the system board. Low effort at best.
That wasn't on that page when I opened it, you think I'd miss that? They were reading the comments here and updated the page after I wrote the comment.
The price was $4700 something, now it's $4945.
They simply smooth over it with this:
"So we will be using a rig cost of $4500 in our spreadsheet."
That way their overall math doesn't change. Should get banned for doing things like that. These guys are up to no good.
