I don't think it is overpriced or absurd. It is rather expensive, but comparing it to the competition it is right on target, and offers MORE than the competition at that price.I've been working in the broadcast hardware industry for some time and external PCIE expansion has been around for a while. Magma is one example of a popular company in the industry that sells external PCIE expansion docks, and DuroPC is another. The Razer core looks like a great alternative for gamers.Once the gaming industry goes nuts and produces tons of them and we see a $150 dock from Rosewill, then yeah, it will be overpriced. But even at $500 I don't think it is crazy. You have a very expensive translator board, a 500w PSU, and low volume tooling for it. Yeah, it is REALLY expensive for your average gamer, but again, I don't think it is mispriced.My 2c
