I hope you got any pricing increases your software vendors want for
you crawling up the hardware tier... if not, you could be in for a
NASTY surprise from some of the companies out there. Software costs
can easily surpass hardware costs during an upgrade if you are
unlucky.

And do they really move the peripherals from one machine to another,
or do they just swap out the motherboard on the original box?
