This Supermicro part number appears in the early part of the video.
SYS-821GE-TNHR.
I searched for a price. It appears on Newegg’s website here for around $297,000.

Another site sells same part number for $320,000. Configuration selections will drive some price differences, but $300k is a bunch for an 8-GPU server.
But this this looks similar to what Coreweave is renting to users for $50 / hour. GPU Cloud Pricing | CoreWeave
If this is similar, that means Coreweave must rent out a unit for 1.7 years to break even. That seems like poor economics for them. If the demand for GPU computing services is as big as we hear, I would think they could charge more to rent time to anxious clients. Anyone here familiar enough with the GPU/AI industry to comment?
UPDATE Jan 27: I botched the math. Doing correctly this time:
300,000 dollars / 50 dollars/hour = 6000 hours rental to pay the cost.
6000 hours / 24 hours/day = 250 days to repay. Much better economics. The older series are dirt cheap now but these still pay well.
Thanks to MARK R for pointing out my error.
