A comment on Hewlett Packard Enterprise to buy SGI. Parent comment
Most modern computers are too cheap to be able to build them with high quality components, and the margins razor thin.
Adjusted for inflation even high-end modern desktop PCs are 10x cheaper than low end Suns and SGIs of the 90s ($10k in '96 $s is >$15k in modern $s).
