Making small batch, complex hardware is "*hard* and *expensive*? Need to buy 500 CPUs? Big chip suppliers wont even pick up the phone for less than thousands of parts. So...scrunge and hope you can find the parts. Some of them will charge 50-500% markup to get it faster, *then* will sell of your place in line to someone willing to pay more. Want to complain? Well f*** you, you either pay more or wait, because you can't get it otherwise.
