WARNING / NOTICE / APOLOGY re pricing glitch/omission

I was tired when I wrote the above. While re-scanning my submitted posts for replies I just realized I made a major error/omission. (Fresh eyes when rereading, and all that. I realized of my own accord, FWIW.)

Each system has a base price listed at the top of the purchase page. This adds up to a total at the bottom of the list, which doesn't show on my screen without scrolling.

The prices in my previous post are the base price, not the total price. IOW, I was listing the motherboard/case/et al, and no CPU or RAM.

I MEANT to clarify this - that I was listing the base price, not the configured total - and I also remember intending to mention my curiosity as to why the base price was different for each system. I'd figured it was because it represented sundry costs such as enclosure/motherboard/etc. But I got distracted with playing with the pricing calculator and completely forgot to add this point! My apologies.

TL;DR, this means the systems are base price + cost for RAM and CPU. The "default" pricing for each system is:

- Talos II: $7,010

- 2U: $9,995

- 4U: $10,345

- Desktop Development System: $5,120

- Talos II Lite: $1,399 (no options, including CPU and RAM, are configured by default)
