Isn't this a $50k-$100k box? Feels like this isn't the cheapest way to do this by an order of magnitude. What am I missing?

So how would you serve that amount of traffic for an order of magnitude less? I'm not too deep into this stuff, but it doesn't seem that far out?

I guess you simply can't in the density required where this would go. It was just a knee-jerk reaction to the napkin-math for the cost.

I've never wanted to build a single box pulling that much traffic when 20 would do.
