It's only $14/day if you work 365 days a year. If you work a more typical 253 days/year, then it's $20/hour which could be half an hour of the developer's hourly rate. Does that $10K hardware save you 30 minutes/day over over what you'd see with $3000 worth of hardware (or keeping your $10000 hardware for another year)? For some, the answer is clearly yes, but for others, maybe not.
