The XpertStation WS300 packs 748GB of coherent memory, but buyers on r/LocalLLaMA say the listed price gets you a contact form, not a cart.
Why now: The pricing and stock details surfaced in the r/LocalLLaMA thread as of August 31.
MSI listed its XpertStation WS300 at $99,999, built around Nvidia's GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra desktop superchip. For a solo developer or small lab, 748GB of coherent memory on a desk beats renting cloud GPUs, if anyone could buy one.
The spec sheet is real. 252GB of HBM3e runs at 7.1 TB/s, backed by another 496GB of LPDDR5X at 396 GB/s. Dual 400GbE networking rounds it out, all in a workstation case instead of a rack.
Buying one is a different story. The r/LocalLLaMA thread tracking the listing found the Newegg page shows out of stock. MSI's own product page swaps the buy button for a "Get Pricing" contact form. One commenter said they'd gotten quotes at or above $100k when they asked. Another called the whole thing a paper launch.
Asus, Dell, Gigabyte, Supermicro and HP all have GB300 DGX Station orders open too, with shipping promised in the coming months. Five vendors selling the same silicon at once means MSI's $99,999 is one bid among several, and the others haven't posted numbers yet.
