It’s not for people to buy. It’s for companies to buy. Compare to salary, and it’s cheap.

I had the same feeling as throwadem when reading this. Your comment clarify what they meant by "everyone"

What companies are buying this instead of like a Dell server or whatever?

These specs look enormously cheaper than doing it with dell servers. The last quote I had for a bog standard dell server was $50k and only if bought in the next few days or so. The prices are going up weekly.

So what’s the catch? If it seems too good to be true it probably is.

These are "unsupported" configurations. Nvidia/AMD discourage running multiple gaming/workstation cards and encourage customers to buy $500K SXM/OAM servers.

Hm, I compared my salary with $10M and it doesn't feel cheap. I guess skill issue.

But how will I make ad-supported youtube videos about how I automated my life with OpenClaw using a $10M boutique AI server to make a few thousand in ad revenue while burning tens of thousands per month on API cost.
