A rough price out using new egg/microcenter pricing, substituting a few items where they didn't specify a specific item/brand. I didn't bother trying to figure out what case they used.

Grand total: ~ $41,000

Motherboard https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-mh53-g40-amd-ryzen-threadrip... $895

CPU https://www.microcenter.com/product/674313/amd-ryzen-threadr... - $3500

Cooler https://www.newegg.com/p/3C6-013W-002G6 $585

RAM https://www.newegg.com/a-tech-256gb/p/1X5-006W-00702 $1600

SSDs https://www.newegg.com/crucial-2tb-t700-nvme/p/N82E168201563... $223 x 4 = $892

GPUs https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16888892012 - $8295 x 4 = $33,180

Case https://www.newegg.com/fractal-design-atx-full-tower-north-s... $195

Power Supply https://www.newegg.com/thermaltake-toughpower-gf3-series-ps-... - $314

The case is an InWin Dubili with a modified, and color mismatched, front panel: https://estore.in-win.com/products/dubili?variant=4711876034...

This could have been much more expensive. They built it from off-the-shelf parts anyone could get (except for the cost) and listed them which I appreciate. Microcenter/Newegg could put together a bundle as a joke and they'd likely get a few orders.

Of course I don't personally have any use for this but it's good to have an idea what it takes to run the best openweight models in a secure/controlled environment. To get started a single 96GB GPU system is only $16,115. For perspective I spent about $10k (today dollars) for a Toshiba Portege 320CT laptop with as much memory and accessories as I could get in 1998.

As soon as you drive it off the lot, it is worth half the value.

It'll lose another half if you spray paint it gold like in the OP photos.

So we are talking 10k ebay price.
