They would be getting consumed if your BCHR was high enough....Unfortunately, hardware is

frequently bought by bargain hunters who go for their friendly neighborhood sales event

in which you bring in your 5 100GB disks and get one 500GB disk at the 25% of the original

price. CFO will look extremely favorable on a deal like that and any PHB is likely to ingratiate

himself (or herself, I've seen female PHB personnel as well) to his superiors by saving money.

If they only could switch to GEICO....

True story - I am at this very moment sitting in front of a server at client site which has:

• 8Gb RAM
• 4 x 3.4Ghz Xenons

and ... wait for it...

1 (mirrored) 300G disk.

Its fair to say that CPU's are certainly not getting consumed here....
