It depends on how many servers you put in a rack. It's been years now I did this kind of work but I would say that an average rack with 20-25U in computing, 5-10 in storage and 5 in networking will cost you 300k$ easily. I'm pretty sure that Oxide will be more an Apple-esque experience, also on the price side, so a "normal" rack giving the same performances will be cheaper but if you want Oxide you are looking for other features beside the pure HW.


At the leading edge, the configuration you just described is probably more like $800k
