I had to replace a bad 1GB stick of ECC ram in my home fileserver the
other week.  That single 1GB stick was $100 locally; I haven't priced it
on the net, but I'd be surprised if it got as low as $50 from anywhere
respectable, the local place I bought mine is pretty good.

Which is to say, I think you're drastically under-pricing 4GB of ram even
for a home fileserver.
