We buy the cheapest server that meets our needs, and buy it in somewhat larger quantities (often double what was originally envisioned for less than was originally budgeted). Much more efficient. But it does mean no IPMI. However I built a small circuit that sits on a power cable that can interrupt said power cable with a relais that sits on a bus plugged into our server, so we can do the reboot thing. I've been meaning to redo that power cable circuit using wifi as the linking technology, now that we have esp8266 available.
