Did you seriously just state that you'd pay $200 for $250 worth of parts? And you want someone to design and integrate them for you on top of that?

edit: Ok sorry, apparently I miscalculated and it's actually possible to build this for less than $200.

How did you get to $250 worth of parts?

8GB Pi4 is $75

256GB NVMe M.2 SSD is ~$40

cases with a fan are ~$25

power supply is like $10 but let's say $20

That brings us to $160 give or take. Where is the extra $90 going?

I think $200 is doable with a healthy profit margin.

Woops, for some reason my first google result for the SSD was wildly overpriced.

How do you get to $250? 256GB NVMe runs for about $50 and a PI 8GB + peripherals for ~$100.
