When we first decided that we wanted to buy a new cluster we got
quotes from several different vendors. These quotes varied up to 50%
for the same configuration based upon the add-on features that
each company provided. However, even the lowest figure was
30% more than what we calculated if we built the cluster ourselves.
Once we decided that the 30% cost differential was significant enough
to make building it ourselves worthwhile, we had to determine
what exactly we wanted to build.
