No way you are getting a dedicated box with 128 GB RAM and 1 TB NVME for just $40. Are you referring to server auction?

Even server auction isn't anywhere close. 55 EUR will get you a Haswell-era Xeon with spinning rust and 128GB of ECC DDR3.

The cheapest Ryzen with a RAM upgrade does get pretty close too, and at least that's a modern CPU.

Sniped a deal at the server auction, it's closer to $43 at today's exchange rate.
