IDK about that, you can get 32 GB DDR4 for $200 here.
If the CPU isn't the issue, why then go with DDR5?

Except of course you can get 32 GB sticks for less than $500, I have no idea how you get to 10000?? That's 20 times the price here (Denmark) ?!

Also 4 TB hard drive is less than $200? Do you really need special server drives? I thought that was completely obsolete already a decade ago.

server components sadly. not consumer grade.

the server also requires the SAS drives to expand their current array with more storage

my own personal stuff yeah, your prices are inline with what I buy too but this is not consumer grade stuff

Well then I don't care so much, because that's a cooperate problem. Do like the major information companies do, and use standard hardware and build it with redundancies, instead of the overpriced server shit.

lol didn't ask if you cared tbh. also no thanks, I'll pick reliable hardware that costs more, over consumer stuff for my clients business needs. their business depends on uptime, not dealing with consumer warranties and replacing parts every year or two because they were used for more then just Vidya games
