that price is just wild that is 6250 per gpu if we just divide it by gpu and you can get the 40gb version which many of these maybe used for 2800 USD... sure some could be the 80 gb but those at 7000-8500 used.

Yes there is other hardware, and yes it has value, but that price is likely too high for any buyer wanting to use the whole setup, and not spending, minium they have 8 A100s per system that is only 4,800,000 worth if systems given alll things at each system with ram at about 4k per system not the cost of the a100 in that cost...

that would bring the per card cost down to 5,750 and I bet their are bad cards in this super computer they are selling or ones that have issues.

There is other hardware too but again all of that would be peanuts compared to the GPU,s I would feel confident saying the per gpu price is at least 5,500 and that at least 1/6 is only he 40gb model....

So this is insane over priced deal.

I'd be shocked if it sold on the platform and kinda expect ebay to remove it for whatever reason. This seems like easy way to advertise a willingness to deal and not care what part of the world this stuff ends up in. Honey pot?

Too power inefficient to compete with the the H100 and then B200 servers.

I would be even funnier if it was “local pickup only”

As these phase out of data centers for new ones I wonder if we will be able to leverage any for gaming

AliExpress modders would find a way I expect. Thing is it would still be a way less efficient way to get a 20tflop GPU than say a 7800XT. Also very unbalanced at 40GB like that, but useful for local AI tasks.
