$120,000 worth of servers is maybe 2-3 cabinets. $1100/mo /w 40A @120V each in most major markets, so let's just say $3,300/mo. Add in a 1Gb commit on a 10Gb link of quality bandwidth for another $2,000/mo, and all-in-all you're looking at $5,300/mo or $63,600/yr in operating expenses. Considering the hardware will probably last you 3 years, the hardware cost is actually only $40,000/yr, for a total of $103,600 vs $324,000. You'd easily be cutting your costs by 2/3rds.
