Methodology
On the collection date we read Australian retailer listings aggregated by StaticICE for each item, kept new internal hardware (no laptops, accessories or complete PCs unless the item is a desktop system), and recorded the lowest and highest price and the number of listings. One server-memory price comes from a single retailer page. Prices change daily; each edition is a dated snapshot.
Context and analysis for each category: RAM, SSDs, RTX 5090, H100 and H200, DGX Spark and Strix Halo.
