It's still a MAC

Customize your Mac

Not to worry, $50,000 is for the optional Mac OS X Server software support

“

The really expensive bits are the 32 GB of RAM ($9100), the NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 video card ($2850), the four 15,000 RPM hard drives ($800 each), the two 30" Cinema Displays ($1700 each), a Fibre Channel Card ($1000), and an unlimited-client copy of Mac OS X Server ($999), RAID array ($12,000), Mac OS X Server software support ($50,000).

That's a lot of money but you've got to remember that in addition to satisfying your computing needs well into the next decade, this baby will heat your entire house and provide a metal cooktop surface hot enough to prepare meals on. Mmm, 15,000 RPM omelettes!

And if you subtract out the software support costs and the silliness of two 30" displays (how big is your desk?) we're back to around $30k which, don't get me wrong, is a hell of a lot of money, but $50 for a server isn't that surprising.; 1/12/08, 1:11 AM
