These systems sell for the same reason why some people buy a Ferrari over a Fiat, an AMG over the bog standard C-Class, a Rolls Royce over a BMW 5-Series. Some people appreciate skilled workmanship and a premium finished product.

This all day long.

If I could, I would!

Was it posted or collected?

If I could afford one I wouldn't let any delivery service within half a mile of it, you could wrap it three feet thick in bubble wrap and they would still find a way to break it

Also need a safe to keep it in when away.

I think the skinny little smack heads that stole my bike wouldn't stand much chance of lifting that out of my house

Is that a typo if not how does anyone afford it. Remortgage your house?

Not seen the prices of servers these days?

The storage arrays we sell, along with all the licences come in at over a million quid for 1Pb of usable storage.

nah, they just didn't want to go to the shop for some Haribo.

Easier to just buy a new computer and get them with it.

probably needs a forklift to lift all that hardware anyway, so I doubt it's going anywhere.

I will hit you up when I get my Euro millions. Could use a Pb for my plex server.

OcUK has to cater for everyone. For example, a Premier League footballer would not think twice about buying one. It's not even a weeks wage.

yep, also high end video workstations can cost some serious cash when you start throwing in high capacity ssd's, titans and the ultra high end intel and amd cpu's.

i thought 8pack delivered and installed these systems?

8 Pack · 24 Jul 2018 at 19:39

The team deliver the systems yes.

Always hand delivered and set up.

Caseking offer the same in Germany.

The customer who bought this is abroad but will fly in to collect its my understanding.

He is also looking to buy 3 more 8Pack systems lower down the range at around 10-15k a pop..
