Does anyone make 125GB+ ram modules to fill those 24 ram slots?

you'd think that would be enough to run Chrome wouldn't you?

I've already got 48Tb of storage in my computer (actually I've got 80Tb), but 3TB of RAM would be nice to have.
The 32Gb I have is really restricting [/sarchasm]

LOL. I'm genuinely going to check it out. I have 128GB of RAM, but I'm hitting the ceiling at times. I'm hoping they come up with regular desktop boards that support 256GB of RAM in the next year or two. This is my current memory usage, and I don't even have that much open (compared to what I usually have):

Yeah, but keep the open tabs to a minimum! lol
What do you have running filling up the 50+ GB of RAM, just out of curiosity...?

Right when that screenshot was taken, I had probably 30 Chrome windows open with about 350 open tabs collectively. I also had Photoshop running with a few 500MB+ files open, a Word document, and the Windows 10 Mail app. Oh, and I think I had a few things running in Firefox too.

Meh. Marketing sux on it. The $2439 price is the lowest configured price so the "56 Cores, 3TB of memory, 48TB of storage and 3x Quadro cards" is not anywhere near $2439.
According to the Quick Specs here, and at the website it looks like the $2439 price is for:
1x XEON 3104
16GB DDR4 memory
256GB SATA SSD
500GB SATA HDD
Video card selection of:
NVIDIA Quadro P400 (2 GB GDDR5)
NVIDIA Quadro P600 (2 GB GDDR5)
AMD FirePro W2100 (2 GB DDR3)
1125W Power supply
AC Wifi /w BT 4.2
10GB networking
So, if we buy that ourselves:
Xeon 3104 - $240.99
16GB Corsair LPX DDR4 3000MHz C15 - $159.99
Samsung EVO 850 Pro 256GB - $129.99
Quadro P400 - $134.93
500GB HDD - $50
Supermicro X11DAI-N Dual LGA 3647 (Expensive now, but not later) - $749.95
Seasonic SSR-1200GD 1200W PSU - $199.99
LGA 3647 Cooler - $60
ASUS PCE-AC55BT AC Wifi w/BT 4.2 - $34.99
Add $100 for a case...
$1860.83
Am I missing something?

Well your motherboard only supports 2TB of ram instead of 3TB.
It didn't look like supermicro had a 3TB EATX board so you would have to get one of their chassis. Don't forget the Windows license.Curious in such an high end machine the base SSD is SATA instead of NVMe.
I'm sure the street price will be a little lower.

Yep, you're missing the $578.17 labor charge.
