20+ years ago I had a customer with an older system. 6/7 years old.
His spec was the same as another customer he knew, who had bought a new Unix server the year before.
He claimed he needed something faster as he had a bigger data set - he didn't really need a faster machine
Brand new server, latest model was some £60K from his 2/3 preferred suppliers.
Previous year's model was available from 1 particular supplier for some £26K ex-showroom model- never really used - he bought that put in twice the memory IIRC it was under £1,000 for the memory upgrade.
£27K for better than £60K for a new model.
