Entry level Dell servers that used to cost 1,700 US are now going for 17,000!!! I'm talking absolute basics with 16GB of memory etc. Wild times.

Well, I only tried ~~one~~ two servers:

T560:

Priced £3,505 in may 2025: https://web.archive.org/web/20250702124754/https://www.dell....

Now at £13,979: https://www.dell.com/en-uk/shop/dell-servers-storage-network...

It's a 10k£ increase or about x3.

I also just tried with R360, x2 in price only, from $4,959 dec 2025 to $17,142 today.
