This question is one of the reasons why we set up our repository on
Amazon Web Services, and why we are moving are general websites in
that direction. We just don't want to be in the business of sinking
capital we need in hardware that we may need. Moving to metered
service in such a situation

This question is one
One of the advantages of internal management vs. hosting is that massive
overkill on hardware isn't a lot more expensive, in the scheme of things, than
barely good enough. What are those Dells going to cost, maybe $6000US each if
you stretch it? An adequate server would only save you $2000US.
