One of my other hobbies is home theater and I can tell you now the case they are using is nowhere close to $1000. I looked into buying that exact case for a home theater project and the price I got was somewhere around $100+shipping if I remember correctly. I imagine if bought in larger qualities then the buyer would receive a discount. If he's paying these outrageous prices for parts he's doomed.


I imagine its less paying 1000 dollars for it, and more charging 1000 dollars for it.

As another point of comparison, a 12 core Mac with 6 gigs of RAM is 5000 it seems.

You do know that corporate customers will expect a little more support than "check the ubuntu forum" right?
