The myth of cheap hardware. "The problem is, the cost of hardware is an insignificant part of running a computer system. See, the myth of cheap hardware is a myth because hardware (cheap) is not that cheap. It's not 5 times cheaper, it's half the price, or 3/4. And it's not just slightly less reliable, it's a good deal less reliable." (via bp)
