Hey why not just offer the advice instead of commentary about money? I’m all for critiques of why 12U rack might be a wrong or right choice, and if the author is such a snob they can’t handle some nice advice then there are plenty of people here to discuss it with. If you’re happy to offer advice, please do. Your post comes off as elitist and diminishes your trust. Delivering the actual advice is more valuable than an attacking rant. Computers are often a consumer hobby, so it’s ridiculous to complain about money.
Yup, if the dissemination of advice is gated behind passing some judgement test of purity, that's just gatekeeping and a toxic attitude. Just share the knowledge (or other worthwhile discussion points) or scroll past. "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it".
