To me, these prices look more like a 'polite' extortion for the

I can't understand as to why everyone always compares the pricing to
that of a daily browsing computer and not intel/amd's high end server
offerings where the CPU's alone cost thousands of dollars - it is the
average price for server hardware in that performance class.
I remember a time when x86 computers regularly went for $2,000+ for
something that wasn't even high end, eventually the prices came down.
More info about less expensive options:
