Thank you to everyone who participated in the event. It was a lot of fun getting to see and talk to some of you again!

For anyone that missed out on the limited flash drops - We have a lot more planned coming soon.

Keep an eye out for a big announcement this week!

You never know what is gonna be in those flash drops!

Maybe a mistake here?

I think that’s for colocation. You buy the hardware then pay each month for them to host it in a datacenter. When you cancel they ship the hardware to you for a fee.

Yes, it's a sale. On next page it says: "SuperMicro X10DRU-i+ For Sale!"
