10yrs? are they nutz? This is an easy one.... Lease for 3yrs. This pretty much assures of hardware replacement as obsolescence occurs and accounting loves leasing effects on the cash flows.
The 3yr term just happens to match most manufactures' warranty period so you never have to worry about not being covered. There is additional data available on the mean time failure rates of hard drives, controller cards etc as well that can be used to justify hardware replacement within a 3-4 year interval as well. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
