The CPU was $1700. The entire setup is now less.
Any details if the whole rig is below 2k USD (or even around 1k USD)?
You're probably using a high-end machine, many people use sub-$500 Windows laptops
Isnt this ridiculously expensive? Couldn't you achieve the same thing using cheaper PCs?
Fits in your $4000 workstation budget :)
For starting at 5k the pricing requires a bank loan for most people when you could pick up a refurbished desktop for $300-400
I can't access the page, is this the official price? Was expecting something around the 400$-450$ range. This costs as much as a full blown PC.
I don't think an equivalent PC really costs $7000 USD....
A pi is not simply “a few tens of dollars” as you also need to buy a power supply, monitor/tv, keyboard, mouse, etc
All they say is it costs 125$. 125$ for what ? They do not mention the specs of the hardware in their website.
