Wow, that's not even that expensive!

I generally don't get to play with hardware much these days, but my "dream" on-premises kit would be a hyperconverged cluster with AMD EPYC 2 CPUs, NVMe storage, and 400 Gbps networking. It would be interesting to see what kind of performance that would enable compared to the typical cloud platforms everyone is so excited about...

Don't forget to add about ~$1000 per port for a 400GB transceiver.
