Hello Josh26!
We are a very small Company. A new G8 is around EUR 5.000,00. An used G7 is around EUR 3.500,00 and a used G6 is around EUR 1.500,00. The replacement parts for the used Servers are also much cheaper.
We worked with an used G4 for the last 8 years, and had only 2 broken harddisks (which were no Problem because of the raid). The DL380 Series of HP is amazing! We change only, because we have to bring our software to the newest versions...
Greetings,
Christian.
