I still think we’re coming into the worst of it before it comes back down. NVidia and Microsoft are pulling back on datacenter deployments and CXMT is finishing up their rampup. CXMT has basically said it’ll take on all of China’s demand which is a massive blow to the big three’s cartel, and then with slowing datacenters and obvious pushback it seems inevitable. Maybe not back to the prices from before, but I think we’ll see a downturn. Combine that with they’re trying to force companies into 5 year pricelocks shows they don’t think this pricing will last forever, otherwise they’d be telling them to buy at market rate.
This is depressing because this is the year I wanted to start homelabbing and I’m not even looking for anything fancy but the prices are just too ridiculous. I really hope we see a downturn in the not so distant future.
Used gear on ebay is always there. Don’t need top of the line brand new hardware for a home server
Yeah that is true, but just the general demand for it and shortage has driven the price of pretty much everywhere. But yes my best bet is used hardware.
I don’t know about them but around me even used has gotten insane. You can still find deals if you know what to look for but someone new to homelab may not.
Holy fuck
That’s insane
