For all the talk about servers, let me chime in. I was able to build a server with a 5 drive raid array, 8gb RAM, and a dual-core Opteron processor for under 2K.
What was my warranty? I purchased a second power supply, motherboard, 2 additional hard disks for under 1K. So for 3K I got all the warranty I need.
That being said, people buy what the need. There are those people who need support, and I recommend they pay for it. I don't so I won't.
