I have a current spreadsheet here, and trust me your math went wrong
somewhere. A completely full chassis is only a bit more than what you
are quoting (at list) and the chassis itself is practically free.
But no, I'm not going to redo the math. I'm not a F10 salesperson and
I have much more important things to do right now. (not trying to be
rude, just seriously...)
