It has been my experience (done this 3 or 4 times), that the reduced cost of
supporting
(maintenance, electricity, cooling, floor space, etc) will usually pay for a
new machine.

Now don't get me wrong here, I am as big a fan of these boxes as anyone (ask
anyone who knows me).
It isjust neat to get 3-4 times the horsepower in a itty-bitty box and save
$$ at the same time.
This is especially true now given the market for used boxes like: 922,
917/27,etc.
