Hey guys, I've just seen the price for the (backordered) brand new Blackbird and found out that it went up $1,144 since I bought it back in April 2020.
I'm wandering if this is the same unit I bought or maybe there are some changes. As far as I could check, its the same power9 CPU, 8GB RAM and 128GB SSD. Am I missing something?

The price for a Blackbird is $1,558.19 today, ~$400 more compared to ~1 year ago.
Edit: Oh you're referring to the desktop (BK1SD1). My guess is that building such a system has become more costly because a) it needs more time than just putting a mainboard in a box and ship it and b) Tim's calendar is full, so time has become more valuable.

I meant the assembled desktop which sells for $3,994 on Raptor's web site (see attached).

This has to do with a number of things. But it should be noted that the fees that were listed separately in the past are now included in the price.

Which fees? I paid $2,850 April 2020 for the Blackbird (mounted desktop). There were no fees on top of this price.
