AMD's EPYC 9355P: Inside a 32 Core Zen 5 Server Chip

From what I can find here in Norway the CPU would be $3800, mobo around $2000, and one stick of 64 GB 6400 MHz registered ECC runs about $530, so about $6400 for the full 768 GB. Couldn't find any kits for those.

So just those components would be just over $12k.

That's just from regular consumer shops, and includes 25% VAT. Without the VAT it's about $9800.

Problem for consumers is that a just about all the shops that sells such and you might get a deal from would be geared towards companies, and not interested in deal with consumers due to consumer protection laws.

The best deals on these high end servers for consumers is to find a local large server reseller. Meaning a company who buys used datacenter equipment in bulk then resells. It may not always be used equipment or old.

True, though at least here that'll be older stuff, and seems almost exclusively Intel parts.

I found a used server with 768 GB DDR4 and dual Intel Gold 6248 CPUs for $4200 including 25% VAT.

That's a complete 2U server, the CPUs are a bit weak but not too bad all in all.
