The Lenovo Thinkcentre M715q were $400 total after upgrades. I fortunately had 3 32 GB kits of ram from my work’s e-waste bin but if I had to add those it would probably be $550 ish
The rack was $120 from 52pi
I bought 2 extra 10in shelves for $25 each
the Pi cluster rack was also $50 (shit I thought it was $20. Not worth)
Patch Panel was $20
There’s a UPS that was $80
And the switch was $80
So in total I spent $800 on this set up
To fully replicate from scratch you would need to spend $160 on raspberry pis and probably $20 on cables
