Surprisingly less it seems? Those NICs are only like a kilobuck each, the drives are like 0.5k, CPU is like 3k-5k. So maybe 15k-20k all in, with the flash comprising about half that?

Seems surprisingly cheap, but I’m not sure if that’s just great cost engineering on Netflix part or a poor prior on my part … I’ll chose to blame Nvidia’s pricing in other domains for biasing me up

That’s in the right ballpark, I believe.
