The ASA Server quote discected and priced at New EGG.

Basically you are paying about $1,069 for configuration, testing and a warranty. 27.4%. Not a bad premium actually if you value your time and a warranty. If I go this way, I would rather go with a local vendor so I really get support. I wouldn’t buy such a thing with phone support or web support. But I like screwing the stuff together myself. I am about 4 hours into my project and am waiting for a cable to come fed ex tomorrow. If I finish in 5 hours, that will be about $200/hour. Not bad.
