I know you are half joking, but it would really be helpful to have ball-park pricing available. Are we talking Sun-level markups here, or how should we think about it? Given the enterprise sales contact form, I'm thinking yes, but I'd love to know for sure.

> how should we think about it?

I am not in sales and so I hesitate to speak on it in case I am incorrect, but the way that I personally think about it is that it is true that it is not an inexpensive product: there's a LOT of computer here. But the goal is to be competitively priced.

The last time (one of them) Oxide hit HN there were some ballpark estimates based on the CPUs in use, switches etc. Someone else said 500K and up.

I wish there was a 4U version (10-25K but I don't think that they could come close to that price point - regardless even that is out of reach for me to ever get to play on one :-/ )

I guess you're thinking 4U blade enclosures? That would certainly be interesting.
