This kind of analysis really gets under my skin, people who have no idea what's in the product whatsoever trying to tell me what it costs to build it. I'm not allowed to say how much it *actually* costs to build a cRIO, but I WILL tell you that you're no where near the actual cost of COGS, not to mention actual manufacturing costs, verification and validation costs, and other costs that you probably didn't consider. And that's just the physical unit - you want to actually USE it, don't you? Well, then you've got to employ the guys who write firmware, drivers, FPGA images, ... the list goes on.
Think about that next time.
