That's a great value!

I just checked eBay and it seems R820 with 128GB and 4x v2 Xeons goes for 1200-1300.

How did you manage to get the extra 640GB for 200-300 ?

PS 6 months ago I upgraded my 2x Xeon 2697v2 Dell Precision T7610 and paid $200 for 128GB DDR ECC (8x16) Didn't expect to see another price drop.

They come up often enough - someone will be selling a lot of 20+. They go quick but you usually have enough time to send a few messages before they sell out.
