Apparently as of 2 years ago, 1 stick of 128GB RAM from Crucial could cost $4,000[1] if purchased on its own, so at 12 sticks of 128GB RAM maybe this is a relative bargain compared to building it yourself? Of course at the lower end, it's not really competitive at all.

It's extremely unlikely that you'll find ram cheaper from an OEM than buying direct or retail.

Nowadays you can find 128GB for < $1k. And that's the retail price, not the wholesale price.
